Not the main issue of course, but I found this fun:

Both YouTubers said the exposed database records indicated significantly lower customer interest than previously reported. According to Coffeezilla, internal order identifiers suggested roughly 30,000 total orders associated with around 10,000 unique customers, far below earlier public estimates claiming nearly 600,000 reservations.

So this grift will only net them ~$3M, not sixty. My heart weeps for them.

That is excellent, but add in the tax write off for “R&D” or whatever creative accounting they’ll do and that will balloon. I would guess we see a 1 billion loss since the IRS can’t audit him
