"Ultimately my investor has never been paid back, and the individual I met as a possible board member is alive and well, wheeling and dealing in the San Francisco Bay Area."
So, who is he?
- michaelwww 14y agoIt sounds to me like someone trying to get feedback from HN on his script. Is is believable? Sure. Would it make a good movie? Not in my opinion because there are actual stories with hard facts and names that are just as interesting, but more so because they actually happened.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoI like this explanation. If you were going to write a financial thriller, just what would it take to be believable, and when does it jump the rails? Can the reader believe high level CIA officials were duped? How about a complete lack of interest in oversight bodies? What level of response keeps the tension high and doesn't make it boring? I wonder if you could a/b test this with two stories and adwords or something. Completely automated story generation starting with basic plot. That would be a cool startup.
