Thanks. great article. also never want to get a letter like that "your investment is marked to zero". got to love this quote from article "“Everything was rickety—there was no avoiding the ricketiness. Obviously, the line between rickety and shady is a little unclear at times, but the places that seemed like they were going to steal customer funds outright, we didn’t touch,” Singh says. “Even the best players in the space were having big problems.”

Another case of someone forgetting that the internet is written not just ink but permanent marker.

I still get sketched out that companies feel so free to "unpublish" content that they later decided was embarrassing. Traces of "Nineteen Eighty-Four"...

To be fair, if something has been deemed offensive by the everyone on the interwebs, do you leave the offensive thing there to thumb your nose at them or just remove it to at least stop the bleeding?

Fair question, but in this case it wasn't so much "offensive" as "embarrassing to the author." i.e. they're hyping up this guy who later turned out to be not as smart as he thought.
