Benchmark did. Invested in the early rounds (starting with Series A of $15m, mentioned in "WeWork, Adam Neumann, and the great Startup Delusion"), mid rounds and the final stake when they were supposed to IPO was $626m -- 40x their initial investment, according to FT[0].

Curious to see which direction the Supreme court goes with this -- given the last CFAA ruling.

>LinkedIn told the Supreme Court that hiQ's software "bots" can harvest data on a massive scale, far beyond what any individual person could do when viewing public profiles.

So can anyone with a couple thousand dollars to burn. By barring US companies from doing it all you're going to do is move the work to another country that doesn't care about US Law. The data will still be scrapped nonetheless.

You're correct, let me update my wording.

Adding a note, according to the initial filings from the SEC:

>As further explained in Amazon’s Insider Trading FAQs, “puts, calls, warrants and other types of option securities” were required to “be cleared in advance with the Legal Department, regardless of whether that employee is otherwise subject to preclearance or to the trading window, even if that employee is not in possession of material nonpublic information.”

Amazon employees require Amazon's Legal approval before trading Amazon options.

>he obtained from his wife, an Amazon finance employee, to place trades in Amazon stock–making a profit of $1,428,264

>Bohra engaged in illegal insider trading in advance of 11 straight earnings announcements.”

>He and his family members have paid $2,652,899 in disgorgement, interest and penalties.

And 26 months in prison! This is why if you're going to do any kind of trading yourself -- never touch the company you work for.

Do you have any recommendations for where to buy or brand? My biggest fear with these is that the build quality can be all over the place and the last thing I want is to burn down the place!
