Now, the company says it imagines an “Uber-type of setup” to fill their ranks, with gig workers logging in remotely to argue with customers from the comfort of their own homes.
So they’re using their spectacular failure as a chance to exploit their new ‘employees’ via the gig economy.
Fuck them. They have learned nothing about respect or decency, and I hope they continue to crash and burn.
Payday loans in the states are horrifying. It got so bad that the US government stepped in to limit the interest rates they could charge military members.

I stopped reading at Financial Tech startup. From that alone I know what kind of people we’re dealing with here.
Something about FinTech…it just attracts the worst possible people.
Klarna? The usury company? The “preys on kids who failed the Algebra 2 test on interest” company?
Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”
*APR 69%; yearly fee: Left limb. Firstborn children no longer accepted.
Oh my. I never experienced that high of an APR.

Certain tribes are exploiting regulatory loopholes and charging 600%.
But not Klarna? Right? Thats what I meant. I know about payday loans. But I didn’t know if Klarna had that high of APR.
And how many of these Uberserfs will be located in developed countries making good salaries? None, you say?
Probably depends on the language in the target market, a lot of European languages are not that common in countries with cheap labor.
I hope whoever’s running that company gets cancer and dies.
