The way it works now is that LPs can sue for gross negligence, which covers reckless or purposeful acts. According to Politico, these rules in fact would not just apply to VCs, but also like you said, PE firms, hedge funds and real estate investors. Right now, you probably wouldn't be sued for the minimal diligence part. But if the rules change, it would expand liability to simple negligence.
Molly and Jason kick off the show by discussing the concept of 'quiet hiring' (1:53) and the SEC's proposed rules making it easier for LPs to sue VCs (9:37). They also cover Semafor's buyback of Sam Bankman-Fried's $10M investment (20:50). And Lon Harris is back to discuss the new box office hit M3GAN (31:00) and the premiere of The Last of Us (45:45).
