They were deliberately misled and lied to - there’s nothing they could have done to prevent that!

I’m at a loss for how to process that tweet.

Is he just completely incapable of reading the room, or is it a lvl 10 cynical FU?

Honestly my completely outside the valley impression is that VC operates a lot on pedigree and connections.

SBF has an impeccable pedigree, so the thought that he was a Michael Fenne type was never even considered. Why would he lie, when he could live an honest life and be fabulously rich and comfortable (Jane St, wealthy connected parents, etc)

Not too different from the case of Elizabeth Holmes, when you frame it like that.
