Reminds me of VanMoof, whose messaging a week ago was:

> We have temporarily paused sales to catch up on the production and delivery of existing orders. Rest assured – this has no effect on servicing.

... and then news broke that it's on the brink of bankruptcy.

yeah, except Vanmoof is not even publicly traded while Booking has a $100B market cap on NASDAQ with 'profitable as fck' credit rating.

just poor tech capabilities & timing. nothing deep here. (not a speculation.)

>> temporarily paused sales

I interpret that as... we have laid off the entire sales team
