Here is some interesting news and I will let you determine whether you consider this to be poor behavior. John Griffin, is the CEO of Livermore, California, startup received $750,000 from investors for a new product he developed in his new startup company called, VaporTech. This company had supposidly promised to develop a "dirt-eater" that will clean toxic soil.

He took the money and spent it on Super Bowl tickets, a ferrari, and steroids. What do you think happened with John Griffin? Griffin was sentenced to 30 days in jail for his bad behavior.

Do you think he deserved jail time?

well he did deserved jail time but for like 2-3 years or till when he can return the money with interest to his investors.

it is due to people like him that new startups dont' get venture capital easily because no one knows if they will be stable enough to deliver the product/service to clients, and in return generate profits for investors.

30 days is way to short, should have got a couple of years for that IMO
