Same. I was sent that email and deleted it. A bunch of garbage.

It's predatory garbage -- I've had some VCs as customers and I guarantee that if the IPO was expected to do well, they would not leave a dime on the table for contributors. Generally if you don't know who the bag-holder in these schemes is... chances are it's you!

I still help out people on Reddit, because a lot of foreigners don't know how to do things in my country (e.g. find medication they need) and that's where they ask. If it vanishes tomorrow, I don't really care though, haha.
