Show HN: 15% of Forbes 30 under 30 winners did fraud 30u30.rip...

15% of Forbes 30 under 30 winners can be attributed to fraud. Here is an interactive visualization of 8215 winners and whether or not they're in some controversy.

I originally vibe scraped the winners and hit my weekly Claude limit, manually Googled over 2500 times (around 2400 I actually got an internal error), then realized Gemini has a free API with search supported.

Few are funny, some may from common names, feel free to DM me on X @itisyev if there is something you'd like to see changed.

??? On some devices it turns white after a few seconds and the 'info' button is invisible.

Would be better to just have a table of names.

Well, it's only those who were caught. I think it's not as much about age but simply because markets for most things have matured and you almost can't get ahead without scamming someone - and it gives small businesses a leverage because large corps can find themselves at receiving end of expensive lawsuits because they have money to grab off them, so they usually won't do outright fraud (and they also have too many people so high chances someone will blow the whistle).
