Forbes 30u30 pipeline remains undefeated.

How did none of this come up during diligence? Feels like a prime example of too good to be true.

Trust me, you can lie and get away with it if you go through YC and dropped out of a top university. Garry Tan blocked me on X for pointing this out. It's a big club, and you ain't in it!

Fortunately, some of the old-YC spirit seems to be alive here on HN still.

You mean from the beginning? They could’ve just done it properly initially then moved to this scam process later

The article states that, "Even though we knew we’d technically be lying about our security to anyone we sent these policies to for review ... we decided to adopt these policies because we simply didn’t have the bandwidth to rewrite them all manually."

FWIW I think the 30u30 to fraud pipeline is overstated. There are 600 people on the American Forbes 30u30 list every year (it's "30 under 30 each year in each of 20 categories"), with 20ish notable instances of fraud, so maybe a quarter percent of the people on the 30u30 list will later become famous for fraud.

I think the pipeline is not really about the 30u30 list as a whole, but about the cover of the magazine, which I feel has had a very high rate of fraud.
