    Now, the company says it imagines an “Uber-type of setup” to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.

    So they’re using their spectacular failure as a chance to exploit their new ‘employees’ via the gig economy.

    Fuck them. They have learned nothing about respect or decency, and I hope they continue to crash and burn.

      I stopped reading at Financial Tech startup. From that alone I know what kind of people we’re dealing with here.

        Klarna? The usury company? The “preys on kids who failed the Algebra 2 test on interest” company?
