It's simple. Don't have cofounders.

I'm in a funding cycle now, for my start up. Currently in courts to recoup my intellectual property & gain restitution from defamation of character, which ppl did in attempts to continue to plagarize my IP & while attempting to make sure myself wouldn't benefit from my IP thru libelous claims & attempt to discredit myself. Moreover, all my stuff will be recovered. Very foolish to ppl who thought they could get over on myself & now realize they can't rise when I'm around.

[@supaswagg251]

don't have cofounders, never needed a cosign, don't have a partner. Anyone who said they are is a liar.
