> Their revenue has quadrupled in just a few months

Maybe, maybe not. We haven't seen that S-1 yet. All we have is the 5B in lifetime so far. PLUS - revenue quadrupled or not, it only matters if their costs did not expand at the same rate or more. Revenue is not profit.

OK, so when S-1 comes out you will finally allow yourself to be wrong? Your prior is, a 1T company plans to IPO and their leader has been loudly committing an insane amount of fraud? I mean this of course is possible but that is quite the conspiracy. The scrutiny of an IPO would be a crazy thing to do if you were committing fraud at the scale you're suggesting.

Revenue is not profit yet the discussion in this particular thread is about revenue.

Ever heard of Enron, Theranos, SBX ? They were all hiding in plain sight - who could've thought they were frauds?

That’s why I said it’s possible but it’s a very improbable and weird prior assumption to make
