pretty much the future of every kickstarter product turned business that got skyrocketed to instant fame, with all subsequent investors being predatory VC funds and/or Shark Tank types (that doesn't get a unicorn buyout from deep pockets)

Original kickstarter from 2013 where 297 backers pledged $307,332 to help bring this project to life

Dude was never a billionaire to begin with. Peleton stock was vastly over valued by hype and was going to come crashing down sooner than later. Just another company that tried to sell itself as a tech company without making actual groundbreaking tech.
