Comment on How A 21-Year-Old Stanford Kid Got $30 Million, Then Everything Blew Up

Comments

... Like his idol Steve Jobs .... , Lucas Duplan is an expert salesman. You need to be, to persuade Silicon Valley investors and engineers to take a chance on a startup.

Not surprising. He probably was consciously trying to emulate worst aspects of Jobs. Sad thing is that such people often end up being successful.

And just to make it explicitly clear: Lucas Duplan is very successful, even if his "company" is essentially a giant fraud and failure. Already a multimillionaire, and once this particular charade is over, he'll be able to jump to an equally high-level position.

Isn't he a multimillionaire just on paper?
