Can't say that I love that the article clearly takes a "Can you believe this bullshit?" tone, but it's hard to conclude anything other than that the investors here really don't care. In their view, their goal is to return capital (and by extension, further their career and life), not play judge.
The investors who chose not to comment are pretty cowardly, IMO.
