You're saying that Hertz deliberately targetted these people for some reason? No, that's ridiculous. Clearly this was a mistake. No one thinks Hertz was deliberately trying to punish its own customers. They just messed up and rolled out a feature with a buggy fraud detector.

you are too caught up on if Hertz did it deliberately, that is not the test. Reasonableness, / Reasonable person is the test.

1. Would a Reasonable person believe the system would lead to false reports

2. Were there any engineers or people internal to the company raising concerns that were ignored by managers / executives (I believe there likely was and there is more than enough probable cause for police to get a search warrant to find out)

3. After the first reports came in what actions were taken by the company

Those are all excellent questions! Where's the evidence for affirmative answers to any of them? The fact that you can construct a case in your head isn't very interesting to me. What we know about the real world tells us that the answers are probably "yes", "no", and "nothing criminal".

To be blunt: be real. No one at Hertz is going to jail over this. They fucked up, and have admitted so as part of this settlement. That's all the justice you're going to get. I'm sorry.

your real world does not match mine, because in my world corp execs routinely ignore the advice of engineers, administrators, and developers when it comes to things like Security....
