Jeez this sucks. I was always behind Magic Leap with the logic that "big investors like a16z google alibaba wouldn't get suckered" but god, :( this is disappointing.
Here's a few clarifications that might change your thinking about funding announcements.
Google Ventures passed on Magic Leap. Google Capital passed on Magic Leap. Sergey was enamored so Google's own balance sheet provided most of the B round. Word is that A16Z put only $3MM in -- basically enough to get some info rights and not piss google off.
If you want to look on the web it's not hard to verify if you're willing to do more than just a google query. For example you can easily tell from the web sites of GV and GC that ML is not in either of their portfolios. I can't find any Form D for magic leap but you can see what some of their investors put in if you dredge some of those non-googleable-but-public databases.
They're a Theranos if you ask me.
