Some good non immigration related tech drama 

Successful appearing startup shuts down out of nowhere, og founder comes out and says he was forced out by VCs, badasses like Amjad now circulating list of VC shame

1/8 I’m very sad today to see that @Bench has shut down.

I’ve avoided speaking publicly about Bench since just over 3 years ago when I was fired from the company I co-founded. I still don’t have a lot of appetite to talk about it tbh, but think at least a short statement is…

VCs to avoid (with a “fuck off”)

If some are innocent, they should come out and out the culprit.

Selecting good founders is a skill issue given asymmetric market and product information — thats an opportunity for astute investors

But asymmetric information about bad investors is something all founders are impacted by, more transparency here is essential

I’ve seen investors weaponize legal system to prevent info from being public forcing founders and employees to rely on whisper networks, allowing the people in question to continue the predation as there always will be someone excluded from said whisper network

Closest we've got to some transparency are initiatives like

But most entries seem to be investors patting one another on the back

looks directionally correct. that said this sort of thing — reviewing human beings — gets really tricky real quick
