True. I don't know if there was enough info available to know what a scam it was with the first announcement of the company? In 2013 HN comments, there were definitely people interested in the promise of quicker/cheaper blood tests (I mean, that's pretty appropriate with hindsight in 2020), but also people who thought the business plan seemed pretty sketchy and the board of directors was suspicious, that the company seemed more about marketing than any actual product (which turned out to be pretty on the nose, and there were some comments to this effect in 2013).
By 2014, the level of suspicion was much higher. By 2015, when reports first started to come out of untoward behavior form the company, HN commenters was totally on board with those reports and there were few trying to defend the company.
That's about what I'd expect, I think? Or the best I'd expect? Are you saying you knew in 2013 that the company would turn out to be fraudulent? Do you have some documentation showing that? I'd be impressed.
