The only weird thing I didnt really understand in this scam, was that how easy it was to trace back identity of the scammers , up to their fb account,etc. I doubt these identities were also faked. It is so bizarre to jeopardize both a fresh inc. Company and identity reputation as such.
yeah I mean honestly lots of startups don't profit in their first year. I'm pretty sure it was just a side business for most of the people involved that have day jobs too.
