2U's due diligence might have missed that they weren't getting Walter Lewin's popular material, he's not bankrupt, still going strong!!

2U did no due diligence. A minimum might have been to contact the author of the platform to check on IP issues (or anything else). This never happened. Lots of other things never happened either.

What they bought had little resemblance to what they thought they were buying. They got fleeced by MIT and Harvard. Wasn't the first and won't be the last.

There's a sucker born every minute
