3. this is a confusing story and the article is not helpful until way down into it

I have no doubt there was fraud and that people died. They need to clarify the connection up front.

4. I had one on my street and there is a current one the next street over.

Our neighborhood association got the one on my street shut down, but the other one is still open.

People are making a ton of money off these things.
