Add to that that there is no convincing reasons why this group of angels would manufacture this story to lead him on. Unlike with some other TC stories which turned out to be manufactured to discredit TC, in this one, the sources themselves would risk a lot by leaking this - true or false.

But then again it would be unlikely that they would only single out YC by name at such a meeting. Or any meeting. If, on the other hand they are co-investors with YC, which they must be since according to this scenario between them they see "100%" of the deals, then their "collusion" against YC would be a rather amateurish attempt to close the loop between them and a newly-prominent YC, made all the more so now that this "leaked" news item highlights just how much of a player YC is, as per the envy of all these angels. I don't know. Maybe it happened, maybe it didn't. But I find it unlikely that such a group, if they had to name one institution by name at such a risky meeting, would name YC and not, say, KPCB.
