How could all this stuff could go unnoticed for so many months or even a year some of them? I did a search and it is littered with private info that a hacker can figure out the identity of the writer fairly easily. Clearly nobody was reading the reviews or they would have been flagged and deleted. The PR person said they had never had a review flagged. Could it be the reason is because they fast tracked a way to produce user content that nobody was actually using to sell a ponzi scheme to KP for 70 Million? We all know on yelp that stuff would be taken down immediately. So how here is it all over the place and nobody knows about it? It can only be explained that nobody is reading it. Users can't login and delete posts? Did they even create logins? 2 Million reviews generated and a 70 Million dollar round in the valley just raised. The investors have got to look at the due diligence they did on this whole thing to give them that much money for what turns out to be a PR disaster.
