Balwani's story is quite amazing. The dude won startup lottery and made enough money that he wouldn't have to worry rest of the life. He had a mansions, sports cars and lived his life happily. One day this young women walks in his life and wants help with her startup. The dude throws away everything to make her startup success, burns midnight oil and torches ethics. He is much older and thinks he is in love. Only later to realize that the woman was simply using him and chewed him out as soon as his purpose was done. They became so adversarial in the end that they literally campaigned to have each other in prison.

Important Life Lesson for Everyone: If you made your money, do NOT fall in love (or, god forbid, marry without iron-clade prenup).

[quantified]

Do fall in love. If you're rich enough, you can survive on half your wealth nicely, but in that case do take the prenup because you are a financial target.

Don't lose your ethics. He deserves quite a bit of his downfall.

I think the important life lesson is: do NOT deliberately grossly defraud people

[rapsey]

You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater there.

[TeMPOraL]

Still better than bringing a baby into this world as s defense tactic in court.

[fastball]

Definitely don't think it is clear cut that he was the one being used.

Prenup doesn't protect you from the US justice system though.
