    Devagiri faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and is scheduled for a status hearing in September.

That's a pretty extreme sentence.

I've seen murderers get less. Mostly women but still.

So, someone actually did it?

No price arbitrage here, a doordash employee just switched orders from complete to incomplete repeatedly to trigger multiple payouts from the same order

Shouldn't decent monitoring system catch things like these live? Order swapping between states unusually amount of times should raise alarm somewhere.

Also took quite sometime to notice these issues if it was carried over multiple months.

god forbid someone try to make a living wage running doordash
