I can confirm. I too used to work there (hi Jack9, good to see you're still around).

The owners were secretive and good at compartmentalizing their actions. So, it took a long time to figure out what they were trying to do. Although pure speculation, I would not bet against their complicity in this latest round of fraud.

I'm the journalist who wrote the story and I would love to hear from any current or former employees. craig.silverman at buzzfeed.com.

Can you elaborate on the compartmentalization? Want the code base accessible to all engineers? Or is that not what you're referring to?
