Their shady, but perfectly legal business practice is fairly common. Are you going to hold Greylock to the same standard for investing in Facebook who profits from the same means and ubiquitous tooth whitening snake oil ads? Should KPCB and Sequoia be treated as sleaze merchants because Google hosts ads for companies that sell less than honorable products?

I appreciate the journalistic effort at TechCrunch and applaud Zynga for taking a hard line, but no money was embezzled and no one got ripped off.

A lot of people got ripped off. That's the point.
