I'm so happy with the amount of coverage this has gotten.

  Also great to see the impact this community had in pushing this story forward. NYT seems to have pulled liberally from the HN comments related to the original Medium post.

    My hope is that the stories like this one are more than just a sign-post along the way. Startups, by default, are hopeful places, they need to be. That makes them vulnerable to all sorts of people and forces (greed, fraudsters, etc.). I think there is a lesson here about confronting reality, personal responsibility and the potential to be complicit in the type of behavior we abhor. This isn't intended to be any sort of judgment, but I agree this community is influential, in a unique way, I think, so it's worth mentioning.
