Gomechanic saga

Curious to know how they inflated the revenue and lowered the cost. It can be easily caught by reconciling cash flow statements with PnL.

Not sure about the details. But as a customer I knew that their service quality was very poor. Which is surprising because service startups usually deliver delightful experiences for the same/slightly higher price.

The metrics/revenue faking was ofcourse the bigger choker though
