Hey, author here. You're right, there's some question about Fab, and I could have added that to the post.
I tend to believe the later story, which was that they didn't get there, but didn't mind all the press thinking they did and it was just never corrected (i.e. this story(1) in Fortune cites a valuation that happens to be under $900M).
Either way, there's definitely no way to know for sure, and I've seen it left off of plenty of 'unicorn' lists.
