I was employee #30 something at Fab and had a decently unique vantage point for a while. I would say the problem was one of ambition. We had a working $100M company, however Jason and all of the investors decided that that was not enough and that we needed to be a $10 Billion company. I actually don't see that much wrong with this, it's just a bet they all bought into and they all were smart enough to understand the risks. The bet failed. Simple as that.
