      It doesn’t mean she’s definitely a hypercapitalist con-artist or nazi.

      More likely, sure, but it sounds like she did a lot of work in the public space which drops the chance of Nazi down significantly and con artist down to…hold up, which year was this?

      Honestly, I never read the Forbes in my life. Not once. So I can’t juge positively or negatively.

        In recent years, the Forbes 30 under 30 has included Caroline Ellison, Sam Bankman-Fried, Martin Shkreli, Charlie Javice, Chris Bakke, and Elizabeth Holmes, all of whom have been very publicly charged with fraud. Somebody did the math and discovered that the 30 under 30 have collectively defrauded investors of more than four times what they’ve raised legally.

        Forbes also named Silicon Valley Bank as the best in America in 2023, five days before it imploded and caused the second largest bank collapse in US history.

        Honestly, I never read the Forbes in my life.

        You are smarter and more well-informed for it.

            It’s honestly kind of impressive. How does one publication manage to be so exactly wrong about that many topics?

              It’s Forbes, it’s hypercapitalist. Those people you listed are actually successful from forbes’ pov. After all, they got rich and got out. (Caveats like Holmes et al, but also real stallar performance from silicon valley bank).

                Sure, but they didn’t get away with it. That’s a key step for the late-stage capitalist; getting caught is like not sticking the landing.
