Im not a YC superfan, but I dont really see how this should reflect back badly on YC? they do hundreds of investments per year, of course there will be opportunists...
Why wouldn't this reflect badly on YC? If they should be credited for picking well, they should be discredited for backing plagiarists.
See the “Stablegains” posts from not even a week ago. Also a YC company.
Sure, but those are like 2 of ... thousands?
If I do a 1000 good things but fund logistics for 2 bank robberies I would still go to jail.
