The Willing Victim
How Faraday Future Sold a Tomorrow It Never Had to DeliverBy NB Heed and Gregory HasburgRecorded TrackLength3h 23m
About this audiobook
A publicly traded company promised the future — electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, a visionary ecosystem — and priced itself on the promise. This book goes looking for the truth in the one place the law requires it to sit: the filings. What it finds is a decade of disclosed, interlocking, technically-permitted structure engineered to be filed rather than read — and a promotional story built to keep you from asking whether the two ever matched. Part investigation, part warning, it's about the oldest advantage in finance: the assumption that nobody reads the fine print. But for the first time, the fine print can read itself back to you. The willing victim is about to run out of excuses — and so is everyone who ever counted on one.
