Everything that I've read about him indicates he was a rising star that willingly chose to withdraw from society, possibly due to mental illness. Far from the "vengeful deadbeat" that GP is claiming he was.

Good for them. That doesn't detract from the fact that they lied and manipulated people to gain funding and support. There's "overambitious" and then there's "unethical bordering on fraud". DreamWorld was

While not a big failure money-wise, I'd still consider it significant that they completely bypassed YC's strict due-dilligence checks. Theranos and Juicero are obvious frauds in retrospect, however, a game aiming to everything b
