    The beauty of Luigi’s* escapade is that they had no fucking clue who he was until they arrested him - over a hundred miles away in fucking Pennsylvania. If he had committed to the bit and put more thought into the getaway he probably could have gotten away with it completely.

    You get hired by this service, they will have all your personal info and that will get handed over to authorities immediately if you went rogue. You would be an FBI top 10 fugitive and have millions of dollars spent on bringing you in, warm or cold.

    *allegedly, innocent until proven guilty, etc.

      All your personal info, assuming you didn’t fake any of it.

      How thoroughly are they going to check that stuff?

      Gig economy businesses rely on disposable work force. The deal they’re offering is horrible for their “employees,” but because they only pay for the work that actually gets done they can afford to just hire every applicant and let them fight among themselves for a limited amount of available work.

      Stringent application controls and serious background checks are anathema to that business model.
