Sure, but if I remember correctly they said that they would give the shares back for free or something. So even if the unethical company didn't go bust but exited, they wouldn't get any cash.

Wouldn't that create an incentive for successful companies to be unethical?

Hey YC that 25mil you paid for 20% of my company, its 0% now caus I am unethical.

I don't think YC would ever forfeit their shares from a successful company.

It would be an interesting side bet, wouldn't it?
