They likely barely had a product when they applied to YC. It's more interesting as to why this wasn't discovered (if it is even true) when they were raising their Series A.

Well that's what I'm saying. The problem is if you went through YCombinator there's very little diligence when raising your Series A. I've seen it happen for a couple of startups that I was tangentially involved in.
