More than a cautionary tale, this book delves into a web of financial disaster, shedding light on the hidden costs of exclusion and the significant value of inclusion in investments. Through compelling storytelling and insightful analysis, it exposes the insidious forces of "Deception," "Betrayal," and "Greed," that often lurk beneath the facade of fair competition. The narrative illustrates how charm and hype can overshadow genuine innovation in a venture capital system designed to favor the privileged few—a system that recklessly led to the evaporation of billions of dollars—with a startling human toll.
