What is a person who makes a site like this thinking about when they do it? What is their motivation? What are they trying to achieve?
They’re pointing out fraud. Is that a bad thing now? I think it’s fair game to point out that the the 30 under 30 hype list is just that: hype. And there’s often very little substance underneath hype. And sometimes there’s outright deceit under it.

100% SATIRICAL — SCORES ARE FICTIONAL AND DO NOT REFLECT REAL-WORLD FRAUD RISK
?
Personally I think it’s not a bad thing to be a little skeptical about brand new companies with double digit billion dollar valuations. If they’re legit they can more than withstand a little satirical dig.

#54the stupidity to this is that it takes a meme and treats it like facts yes, numerous 30u30 have committed frauds, and yes this list is a paid list. but it's also full of other people who have been duped by what this list represents. compounding memes at the expense of truth just creates more problems than it solves
it’s not a paid list. Or at least it wasn’t, can’t say with certainty it didn’t change.

#55When your president is a complete fraud and con man, the whole country is tarnished - its too late for America to bounce back, we are in end stage capitalism now that Trump and his cronies are siphoning money out of the boundaries his administration establish -no different than Putin and his oligrachs except that America still has some protections in place..

What fraud have any of the companies under "risk index" committed?
Which bit of "risk index" are you not getting? Alternatively: how are you in a position to claim they're 100% not frauds?

#60Seems like there should be an incarcerated stamp for people who were in jail for fraud but later got out, like Shkreli.
