The founders and 40 engineers got hired by Google and/or made at least a million dollars. The remaining 200 people got nothing which includes 15 engineers who joined recently along with non-technical staff. The investors got $2.3B to split.
Essentially the founders, early engineers and investors are who matter and they got paid so there should be no controversy is the take from YC.
1) form a tech company doing stuff
2) be a founder/first 10 employees
3) hire loads of people to look important
4) (optional) make stuff
5) sell out at vastly inflated value for profit - unless you are employee number 11+ you get nothing.

So that they can probably flee to Israel or Argentina before they have to go to court. There doesn't seem to be pre-trial detention for war criminals, unlike for minor crimes. 🤢
