I read in a book somewhere (I think it was about Facebook) that when the recession hit in 2008 a lot of people moved from wall street to silicon valley, because that's where money was still made. Could it be they took a bad culture with them?

I’ve definitely noticed the culture changing for the worse as the tech gold rush attracted many whose primary motivator was money and power more than building something great. That said, the quest for power at all costs including deliberate misinformation has been part of facebook’s DNA from day one (e.g. Zuck “dumb fucks” etc)
