What the hell is that story in the footer.

Best guess is there was a Victoria Zubkis, daughter of Steven Zubkis, who's body was found washed up under a pier in San Diego.

Apparently that's the CEO's daughter? But the only references I can find say the death was ruled to not be a homicide, so I don't get the references in the text to being murdered by a loved one. And why he put a eulogy to his daughter into the footer of all his web pages are beyond me.

I think mentally unstable and crazy can be rather orthogonal with the ability to scam people.

Can also see it as a clever ruse -- act a little bit "crazy" to attract some short sellers. In hope they'd think something like "This is some crazy company, so cringeworthy, looks overvalued, let's short it".

It reads like a serial killer's confession.
It looks like the crap they used to put in spam emails to get past the early spam filters
Holy hell... what is going on!

I believe it's pulled from here?

Same company behind them. Both domains are registered to the same email address.
This thing appears on their social network too: https://www.vica.io/our-story/

I'm convinced there's a hidden message in this
Maybe someone pwned their server?
