It discusses HN-adjacent VCs, Delaware business law, and "Big Tech" and government regulation.

This suit is regarding a privacy order they failed to meet and the investors claim this led to the Cambridge Analytics affair. Not a once a quarter repeat event.


If by "break a law" you mean "commit an unlawful act", including colorably reneging on contracts or committing torts as well as violating regulations and committing crimes, then yes, I think every major corporation in America does thats several times a quarter.


Sorry, my personal information bubble is not calibrated to maintain a half-way-objective estimate on that.

Perhaps if we hang around here looking sad someone else will research the answer and tell us?
