I'm an Ebay guy myself. Never used alibaba or Wish. I never even heard of this company until the Reddit stock meme meltdown.
The company created a fake account (bestdeeal9) to deceive people into making purchases. It kept the money knowing that it was never going to deliver the goods. And it did this to see if the customers would request refunds? That’s not merely a “Deceptive experiment”. That’s theft.
This is the Milli Vanilli of “tech” companies. It's an example of what happens when society treats entrepreneurs like rock stars. Talentless poseurs flock to the field. They may not actually want to make music, but they sure want to be stars. They may not have a clue as to developing a product or running a company, but they get to pose shirtless with celebrities and throw parties in a Bel Air mansion.
