Stranger than fiction: Las Vegas startup NS8 raised $123M to detect fraud. Months later it's laid off hundreds of employees after informing them it was being investigated by the SEC for fraud. @DavidJeans2 with first word from its former CEO in @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/davidjeans/…

Thread 👏 well done @WhoGivesACrapTP
I’m incredibly proud of @WhoGivesACrapTP ‘s donation of $5.85 million AUD this year 8 years after our crowdfunding launch, this is a huge milestone at a much needed time. Hygiene and sanitation has never been more important. Thank you to *everyone* that‘s made this possible!
We kick off another week with @gavinappel on the Startup Daily Show over on @ausbiztv. Tune in as we discuss what has happened to the tech industry in the first six months of the year.
