I adore the idea of the Plaid founders, and everyone else deemed complicit in a court of law (I think this should likely include investors), going to fuck-you-in-the-ass prison instead of becoming billionaires.

Alas, I've lived in Silicon Valley too long to believe that anything moral will ever occur when there's money to be made.

It makes me sad that people actually admire this place for anything other than the geography.

Do you think Plaid founders are going to jail?

No. He specifically implied that they would become billionaires instead of going to jail.

It's sad that we award unscrupulous behavior.
