Stanford and fraud word association ticking way way up the past few years, probably at a zenith now with the MTL business.
Avatar in 2009 had Sigourney's alien character wearing a Stanford shirt, back then Stanford was a convenient shorthand for smart and cool in a laid back way. One of the hit shows of today, White Lotus, features a character who is a Stanford graduate, in a less sympathetic light. I suspect the pop culture may continue to reflect a changed view of Stanford.
Elizabeth Holmes and SV grifters in general, MTL, SBF's prof parents, now this guy. Bad streak.
