If there's fraud, then prosecute it legally. But I am in no way obligated to feel any sympathy to investors getting fleeced. It's their responsibility to do their own due diligence, and if they're getting taken in for, I am hard pressed to give a shit.

Sure you’re not obligated, you just have a pretty rubbish worldview. To be fair so does a lot of the world - buyer beware is a defacto standard, doesn’t mean it’s a moral one though.

OP isn't asking you to feel sympathy for anyone, they're suggesting that there's not a lot of integrity in Silicon Valley. That can be true while at the same time the victims of the outright or borderline fraud are also unsympathetic.

Your comments here seem to suggest that you believe it's actually okay to rob from investors. If that's what you're saying, I think you and OP are in alignment with regards to Silicon Valley ethics.

You're an ace at reading comprehension, friend. What part of 'if there's fraud it should be prosecuted' was missed by you?

My interpretation of OP's comments was as a call to sympathy. I'm saying I have very little.
