Not familiar with the Will Sentance codesmith story. How is it bad he made money as founder of it? What did he do?

Court documents indicate his compensation could have been $500,000 base per year plus up to 50% of profits. I don't really care what his compensation is, but my point is about the transparency of that and the messaging he had around Codesmith's mission, etc... For example he continuously claimed Codesmith was independent, when court records it was 70% owned by investors and that those investors got millions $3.9M paid to them. Nothing wrong with business in America, I just push coding bootcamps for transparency because every time a white knight shows up they end up being a manipulative, money-hungry person in disguise.
