    They are getting $100 mil and they probably dont leave their parents basements all that much anyway.

    This can't end well.

    I've been in this room for eight years now, Clarice. I know they will never, ever let me out while I'm alive. What I want is a view. I want a window where I can see a tree, or even water. I want to be in a federal institution, far away from Dr. Chilton.

    Back in the Web "1.0" days, VCs would never have settled for a payout that small...This is "only" 10x

    No shit. This is way worse than the 0X that most VC companies reaped back in the days of web 1.0.
