"People close to X said the platform pressed vendors that were supplying it with goods or services to spend money on advertising. X is a customer of Amazon Web Services, its cloud-computing unit, and had past-due bills for that. X used those unpaid bills as leverage during negotiations, according to people familiar with the matter."

In order to be extremely successful, you must have 2 of the following 3 ingredients:

   * Unusual skill
   * Serendipity
   * Ethical laxity

The Russian maxim "Never ask a Billionaire how he made his first million" comes to mind.
