There was soubd business model. It was idiocy to think all but a small crowd of true believers would leave Twitter for that platform.
And, it was equally easy to see that major advertisers weren't going there until there were enough eyeballs to justify it.
This was a failed business before they ever launched.
Thing is, a lot of investors may have purchased shares out of obeisance to the fuhrer, not because they examined a prospectus. So, did they really get defrauded? Or did they just throw money at a wish & hope?
Did those people need to be lied to in order to invest?
