I mean you can go even further, you can use ChatGPT to make these fake people answer real emails from JP Morgan. You can completely fake people online. Of course JPM wouldn't have gotten any business from these bots, but it would have been harder to prove that these 4 millions emails were fraudulent.

100% Fake business, fake customers. $175M valuation. What I don't get is why JPM didn't realize that this company had no revenue, unless they completely cooked the books.

What would be the email domains of all these fake users? I'm presuming Gmail has defenses against someone creating millions of fake addresses via automated means. Maybe you'd have to buy a bunch of email addresses on the black market from some hacker. Sounds like a lot of effort and fraud for something that will certainly be found out sooner or later and result in you going to jail.
