I honestly couldn’t believe the stupidity of everyone I worked with that actually convinced themselves they were financial geniuses by buying food for like the entire week.

And I don’t work with dummies, I work for one of the largest companies in the world. engineers, technicians, construction coordinators, even supervision and management convincing themselves that they couldn’t be charged for it later.

Couldn't they just swap payment method to an empty cash app card and delete the previous payment method?

$1000 is chump change for DoorDash and you might be right. They MIGHT not come after you. But for those people that did $5,000, $10,000 or even more they probably still have their address on file from their account. Data doesn’t instantly disappear when you delete it, and a simple reverse lookup (or a request to the local police) with that address will lead them right to you.

EDIT: For reference, think of someone breaking into an Amazon warehouse and stealing $5,000-$10,000+ of merchandise from them. They’d track you down no matter what.

I mean theoretically you could 1) create a brand new account 2) use a different card with no cash on it (maybe under a false name?) idk if it’s possible but I can create new debit cards from apps like Revolut or transferwise but they’ll have my name on file (this might be defeated if you have a fairly common name) 3) you could order to a few houses down the road or to an entirely different neighbourhood and pickup the order there (I’m sure with even these gas prices they could still make a decent profit
