I don't think any startup in the past based their valuation on fundamentals. Not even the wildly successful ones like Facebook.

Do you think Anthropic is still a startup? That's an honest question, Wikipedia certainly seems to think so, (Anthropic PBC is an American artificial intelligence public-benefit startup founded in 2021.). I would typically say that once you have 61B valuation, you have to have a fundamentally sound business, and thus cease to be a startup, but I don't know where the line is drawn.

If anyone can calculate this accurately, they would easily become a billionaire. Let's not pretend you (or anyone) know a good calculation lmao.
Just because your personal "calculation" doesn't deem Anthropic worthy of the valuation / investment (and you might eventually be right) ... doesn't mean it is a fraud.
Some people at anthropic almost certainly do think they're going to be successful. I suspect that at least some of them are engaging in salesmanship at a level that makes it fraud.
You wouldn't say this kind of things to anyone without an evidence.
"Hey boss. I suspect my teammate commits a fraud. But it's just a suspicion! I don't have any evidence!" Now replace fraud with equally heinous crimes like pedophilia and murder.
