Wow. Didn't realize this story was getting so much play over here. It has essentially failed to have an impact on reddit as nobody there apparently wants to be told that they are likely part of a Ponzi scheme.

Regarding the 502s: I was attempting to enable IPV6 and HTTP/2 for my website per a request I received from a fellow nerd over email. After two hours of pulling my hair out over intermittent non-availability, I just reverted back to my good ole trusty IPV4 non-HTTP/2 config and all is well again. Except for that guy. Sorry dude, maybe some other time.

Anyway, I would encourage everybody to read all three parts. Barring that, just read part 2 as it covers what my anonymous in-the-know source shared with me and my attempts to verify their claims with publicly available information. That's the real meat of the piece (at least it should be as I spent hours researching and cross checking data for it).

Thanks again for the support!



Ponzi Scheme? It’s a major engineering project going over schedule. What do you expect them to say? I am so glad they have stepped up to try and get this done. As someone with a phone on order, I do appreciate you flagging the problem. I’d appreciate it more if the tone was less alarmist.


Definitely worth reading all 3 before you come here and comment on the subject. My takeaway is that the company needs to come clean, or it’s going to snowball into disaster.
