An old Ycombinator post from 1300 days ago, prescient? http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=164904

I have to agree there. Fatdoor raised themselves enough to be able to try something else when Idea A looked to be a dud. And exit strategies don't even come into play yet. Also, their new idea seems to be a logical extension of (and possibly an improvement on) the old one. If Idea B works they will be fine. If not, they'll be no less or no more bankrupt than if they raised less money earlier. If some omniscient person told me my idea was going to turn out a dud, I'd want more money rather than less.

No, he will definitely get access to their emails. Benchmark and Nextdoor by law has to sequester and preserve their emails once sued. Besides, it seems like he already has it, exact emails are quoted throughout the complaint from benchmark and the CTO of Facebook, who was an EIR at the time. If those emails are true, the benchmark/nextdoor are screwed.
