Do you think it's easier to build a product and sell it transaction by transaction for profit, or to create the appearance of a profitable business and later go public to cash out?
Do you think it's easier to achieve continuous profitability over several years and then pursue an IPO, or to convince investors that an IPO is possible and directly profit from them?
Have you ever considered there's yet another possibility? Why go through all that trouble and collude to deceive investors? You could simply betray your boss first. You make your boss believe you'll stand by them until the end, conspiring together to fool investors, but in reality, you sell out your boss first, grab a quick fortune, and walk away.
Ever thought about it? This is another playbook.
Only those who betray first will never be betrayed. Investors plan to fool retail shareholders, your boss plans to fool investors, and you can plan to fool your boss.
