- Melting_Harps 5y agoStop trying to whitewash this, this is a scam, just because he was the former Kingmaker of the SV startup scene doesn't mean he isn't a scammer and this isn't a scam.

- micromacrofoot 5y agoit is a little “word softening” though, we might be better off calling a fig a fig
- munificent 5y agoIt's literally not, though. The whole point of "theatre" is to emphasize that it's not real. If you call something "counterfeit currency", the word "counterfeit" isn't "softening", it's negating.
