This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
DoJ won't prosecute doordash for misclassifying the delivery drivers as ICC and many other instance of wage theft but they got all the reosurces in the world to waste over 2.5 million dollars which is a rounding error for any corpo lol
Tell you you all you need to know about American "justice" system
fucking clowns
Exactly this.
Got a source for this? I'd like to show it to others
I've seen this credited to the Economic Policy Institute but i can't verify. It's been around so much that i can't find anything.
I found an article that pointed here (EPI) for a source but 🤷♂️

Tell you you all you need to know about American “justice” system
Don't know if you know, but we're going with "legal system" now to reflect the reality.
The law is whatever daddy says it is thats the legal system fot sure. But these are criminal charges though and the victims will get sent federal gulag for their brave assault on corpo's bank account. Martyrs!
It's a fucking free-for-all now, isn't it?
Woah, 20yrs max..., it seems to only pay when you steal from the poor and have train loads of lawyers at hand.
So many technically smart criminals being busted by just not having OPSEC. Dude did the technical theft and left his IP wide open. Get behind seven proxies.
What a fucking moron. Like DoorDash isn't going to notice this shit?
edit: so it's been pointed out that you must have a legit ID to sign up for DoorDash and they probably didn't track him down on the internut. I guess I have to assume that a smart guy that had a DD account found this hole and exploited it with his own DD account. his. own. DD. account. That's super dumb, even dumber than I thought at first. Why wouldn't he use my DD account? Why wouldn't he use yours? (I don't have a DD account)
edit again: why do so many people want to downvote in this thread and not tell me why this motherfucker is one of the dumbest criminals ever? There's been a few that want to argue but no one can tell me why he's not a complete idiot.
Where did you see that? I didn't see anything in the article or in the linked indictment article.
Moot point, as DoorDash driver accounts require a verified driver's license, comprehensive background check, and a valid bank account set up to deposit payment (though after setting up a direct deposit bank account, you can add alternative cash out options). Haven't used DoorDash in a while, but UberEats started requiring facial recognition on top of all that, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were in the DoorDash driver app, too. Hiding IP would do quite literally nothing in this scenario, as you can't create an account anonymously. Counterfeit IDs would not work as they are verified against state records. Oh, and yet another step, you have to provide proof of auto insurance, which is yet another connection to your identity.
People still don't understand what KYC'd service and keep giving out their data to these parasitea... Jfc
Hah, yeah what a dumbass
Did he really just leave his IP wide open? Or did they somehow manage to get through his seven proxies to find him?
I know I'm being paranoid. What I don't know is if I'm being paranoid enough.
Pro tip if you're going to rob a bank don't use your car as the getaway car. Vinyl wrapping your car doesn't change the fact that it's your car.
do you have any more bank robbing tips, asking for a friend
Reddit had an AMA with a Bank Robber ten years ago that they've since deleted for corpo purity reasons 😂
Here's the big points from it:
He eventually got caught because of the money he had, not because his face was on every security camera.
He recommends not doing this, as do I, as it's just not worth it.
But just in case you wanted to know how it was done a decade ago, fuck Reddit, here's the details they recently deleted.
Reddit used to have an entire shoplifting subreddit (r/shoplifting for the wayback) that regularly made fun of the loss prevention subreddit and the two subs often stole ideas from each other and would taunt each other. There was obvious sexual tension between them
Ofc it got banned even though it was technically a "roleplay" sub
see, some days I'm happy that I didn't grow up on the Internet and on IRC, and some days (today) I'm sad that I missed these bits of internet history. God I love this so much
I still miss usenet.
Usenet and IRC are fucking awesome. I wish we could have kept them around - with some added TLS sure but the experience on modern machines is incredible and it sucks that it's not still mainstream.
It is generally advisable to not get caught.
Leave the singing to Sinatra
Bicycles don't have license plates 😉
Ok but what if I take it through the Pay-N-Spray after
Why would you pay for paint when GTA is free?
i’d go with 8 proxies and a dial up modem on one end just to be safe.
I don't think doordash lets you use a VPN.
Many platforms that deal with finance would reject an order when they detect VPNs or Tor (since that's what fraudsters and scammers use), or they ask for additional verification (like SMS) to verify you are in fact the account holder. So they probably were just using their real IP address.
Well in this case a proxy isn't a VPN, but an intermediate the criminal has taken control of. A proxy does not have to be legitimate.
True, but again, you're making a lot of assumptions here. I don't see anything about proxies anywhere.
He probably got caught because of an internal audit, that's the assumption I would make.
Cool crime
Love your username 🐍🐓🪿😂
I thought financial cheats were totally cool now and you'd be stupid NOT to take advantage of loopholes. Unless...
You have to use a corporation to steal money and not face punishment if caught.
And yet people think love to pretend as if corporate is not the enemy of organic "entities"
Wow. Wonder how they got caught. Or maybe likely the Feds don’t want people to know
Simple. Manual reassigns are very unusual and that all being done by one employee (like an actual employee of Doordash that works on the digital platforn, not a driver), and they all are assigned to a small group of drivers. That would look very obvious if someone looked at the logs.
All they need is one confession from any of the driver, or the employee involved in this scheme, then the whole thing unravels.
Also, I'm under the impression that they stole customer accounts to make those orders. Customers would've reported that fraudulent purchases were made.
People being creative in the wrongest of ways
