If you’re a top tier VC, and a founder you invest in resorts to criminality and is convicted of crimes related to the company

Theranos, FTX
soon: Synapse, Dose
etc 

If the world was perfect that VC should lose their job and VC career imo 

Just like DUIs — should be a one and done. No second chances

Not the same thing at all. 

Investing YOUR own money into publicly traded companies 

completely diff from a VC taking someone else’s money and investing it into companies that make 0 money or very little money

I’m not talking about criminal penalties, though. And Edge cases like Angel checks written by individuals don’t matter to me. 

I am talking about venture firms where the firm charges a fee and employs individuals. Those individuals get no criminal charges for investing in criminals, but they do get reputational ones. And they can find a new job.

i like the sentiment overall, that people should be responsible for their actions 

practically it gets murky

let’s say my friends are like slobo

help me manage my money

does it change it?

does it change if i charge a fee?

does it change if its “mostly” my money?

(also what is “my” money, i, at best, earned through the help of society)

jurisprudence is a hell of a field of study
