Comment on Hashrocket execs (not Obie) charged in $425 million mail fraud caseparent

Comments

while not illegal, the direct marketing online yellow pages biz is shady as hell, comparable to online lotto's, online deals and foreclosures database purveyors, and "punch the monkey"-style advertisers (all legal businesses that employ many people). Not something I'd consider as a value-added business, more sucker-traps than anything else. The fact that "yellow pages" and the logo are up in the air makes that entire industry a massive gray area. I wouldn't want to be associated with that. What would we say if 37signals launched a bargain network service tomorrow? . . . not illegal, but goodwill down the drain.
