It's an office rental company. There's nothing tech about it. So why was it given a tech-level valuation? The guy's a con-man. Remember in the late 90s when loads of companies were misleading the market by selling themselves as internet (i.e. technology) companies because they had a website? Most prevalent of which, in the UK, was lastminute.com - a huge tech-level valuation was assigned, even though it was a travel agent, ffs. www.theguardian.com/business/2019/oct/15/wework-sack-staff-workers-adam-neumann

If investors fail to make checks what a company actually does, that makes them idiots unfit to have stewardship of other people's money. It doesn't make the promoters of the company con men.

Sure it does, if you sell something as one thing when it's actually another, you're a con man. Now whether you believe the responsibility to determine what it is lies with the seller or buyer, or both, that's another matter. 'Caveat emptor' does not mean misleading sales people are not con men.
