I wish I had no morals... Life is so easy when you don't give a single fuck about what you do to others... It's so infuriating to see how many wealthy people have amazing lives because they simply don't give a single fuck about anything but themselves.
Sociopathy is greatly rewarded in this stupid world we live in. :/
I didn't really look into what this startup did, but it doesn't surprise me. Elon Musk has a very similar kind of story, bullshitting his way to being a billionaire. The system is very heavily stacked in favour of dishonest people.
