I mean, in theory me, who has spent their whole life working on solving problems in the physical world at scale—-for the last 4 years working on housing—- could run a scam that was horrible for homeowners and then get sued for price gouging, and expose myself to personal lawsuits, legal persecution (imagine how unsympathetic the jury would be).

This is true with any product that is new and requires mutual trust.

Or we could just deliver a product people want, and make much more money at scale than trying to optimize for a short term scam!
