CYA is pretty much the only rule. Whistleblowing always works out badly for the whistleblower. It&#x27;s strange but true that it&#x27;s far easier to get hired from a failed startup than as a whistleblower, so the only thing to do is keep your head down and look for a new job. Let them fly the investors&#x27; money into the ground as long as your name isn&#x27;t on anything illegal.<p>Fortunately SV startups are rarely capable of getting people killed with a bad product. I&#x27;d like to hope that someone would whistleblow the safety issues on home thorium reactors before the Bay Area is rendered uninhabitable, but I know it would be career suicide for the person that did.
