Or maybe they were very shrewd business minds. After all, you have a business that was very much a fad - and any insider would be able to tell you that, but yet somehow you've convinced the wider world that this was a sustainable new trend, and to pour unimaginable amounts of money into your company.
So, tons of funding, and you can see the cliff at the end of the train tracks. What do you do?
Lavish offices? Lavish perks? Lavish accoutrements? Lavish trips?
Horrifically irresponsible and downright illegal? Perhaps. But in the circumstances, perhaps the best (selfish) move.
- dkrich 14y agoFair enough, but I still think my point stands. I suppose if their goal was to make a quick-hit and get rich very quickly while making a lot of people's lives much worse, then they succeeded. I believe that gives them too much credit. I don't believe that they knew this was coming and loaded their pockets while everybody else was confused. Either way I still say good riddance.
