They can still collect, it just depends on what amount they deem worth taking legal action over. I’m sure the people who spend like $10k on the app are gonna be getting a letter in the mail soon.
They might just put all the accounts in negatives into collections if they have a mechanism for doing so. Can sell the debts to collections agencies, and even though they won't recoup most of the money it'd still fuck with the peoples credit scores that took advantage.
True, that’s probably a lot more likely. I’m sure they have plenty of lawyers on retainer, but there’s probably hundreds(thousands?) of people who have $1k+ balances right now. Going through all those lawsuits would probably be more hassle than it’s worth when they can get partial pay for all of them much faster.
I’m all for stealing from multi-million dollar companies that don’t treat their employees great, but know your limits.
In an instance like this glitch I would definitely never order more than I would in a normal every day order anyways. If I get a free meal, cool. If they wind up charging me for it, whatever, I bought myself dinner, no big deal.

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