I would not want to be in the bootcamp biz right now.



maybe a new one designed for the upsurging SVB/GPT/RTO techno-apocalypse?

i wonder Lambda they have settled in the past.

i figure, how much would it cost them to let these kids out of their contracts - most of which were presumably worthless anyways? unless they had already sold them to SVB or similar? also, give the lawyers some money, and keep it all quiet? prob less than this latest round of bad press.

but maybe a couple of things stopped this:

1) lambda / bloom was not confident this would be the last lawsuit, and

2) all press is good press. any time you're running what is at heart, in my estimation, a scam, there is really no amount of bad press that is going to stop a certain subset of people for signing up -- and, really, maybe the bad press actually lends you some credibility as a business -- i.e. if you have _no_ haters at all, are you really even a business today? like nascar and baseball and chelsea and so many others -- if you ain't cheatin', are you even tryin'? everyone has to bite on an MLM at least once in their lives to _really know_ that it's a scam. and, if you're broke and desperate, 'they' can't get money from you anyways, and maybe you'll win the lottery. lambda school or crypto -- go ahead and buy that lottery ticket.
