No one should do business, or collaborate academically, with anyone associated with the video or company again. To co-author with anyone involved with this is misconduct, and every University should be aware of that - they are liars, they cannot be trusted to do research. The VC's should retrieve all unspent cash and sue the founders. They can reflect on what they did looking at the canvas of the inside of their tent…

I rang the customer and explained the misunderstanding. I discussed the problem with the sales folks and it was agreed that this shouldn't have been said.
