    Always remember, the gravest sin to commit under capitalism is to lie and steal money from investors.

    The VCs never understood enough about science to realise it was a failed premise right from the start and as the old adage goes “a fool and his money are soon parted”.

    It doesn’t haunt science it haunts the nasty Silicon Valley/ old money venture capital circlejerk.

    If science was involved that shit would have been shut down the moment this vapid bitch left college.
