I really think people need a hobby or something. Cool we found the 99th percentiler of a thing that everyone knows was happening. All it is is someone who's phenomenally good at interviewing and decided to use that to defraud a bunch of companies.

Is there much else to learn? This is simply not as interesting a story as it's being made out to be.

Probably the reaction is because of who (whom?) he defrauded: some YC founders. People have higher expectations for them, I think.

If someone legitimately interviews well and then just decides to stop working, what exactly does that say about the founders/recruiting teams? Literally nothing. Interviews are hackable by bad actors who then incur a bunch of cost to get rid of after the fact -- not news.
