The arguments here are that the tech doesn’t work as well with people with dark skin and maybe it will be used to deport visa overstays or undocumented / illegal immigrants? Is that it?
Basically you could spend as much as you wanted in $15 increments within 30 seconds of “checking in”. The system was full of holes. They lost millions of dollars to outright fraud. It took my team two weeks to architect fixes that we could have implemented in a month. They chose to keep their current dev and didn’t patch many of the exploits we found for literally a year.
Pumping and dumping their stock. Mitch and Ted both cashed out millions directly as well. It’s all in the public filings, amazingly. Citron did the best expose.
Former MoviePass consultant here. Pretty sure the whole thing was a con. After being hired, I quickly pointed out major flaws in the product that allowed for users to share accounts or use their cards to buy popcorn or let theaters arbitrarily charge MoviePass customers higher prices. Mitch was never technical enough to comprehend the minutiae and Ted never acted with urgency when confronted with cold hard evidence that his users were effectively stealing millions of dollars from the company. They sold dollars for 75 cents. Kind of like WeWork.
It’s upsetting that Toyota continues to delay pure electrics with this nonsense. They sell a hydrogen car (total scam) and hybrids that still burn oil and require costly maintenance. Dear Toyota, please give up your dream to delay pure electrics. You lost.
I was getting a half dozen obviously fake friend requests on IG every day until I set my account to private. These were invariably users like “TatianaXXX6969” or “SexySvetlana1727288”. Seems like the easiest kind of fake account to block (so much for AI and ML). I deleted my FB two years ago and I think IG is next.
Over 15,000 users paying $30 per month. $260 million valuation. Perfectly scalable.

Now do Tout. Or Yesware. Or Salesforce. Or every CRM ever invented. Or LinkedIn posts by Premium users. Also hilarious you think that Superhuman competes with Outlook.
