The linked in-depth article by Allie Conti was a good read too. I would've done a charge-back, regardless of the blow back. Fuck AirBnB - they should be complicit in this.
Best part of the article:
"Goel’s scheme was uncovered in an in-depth investigation by reporter Allie Conti in 2019, who detangled the plot after being double-booked at one of his properties in Chicago and receiving a suspicious last-minute cancellation. Conti was contacted by the FBI days after the article was published."
I wish there was more of this. Good investigative journalism has been one of the most powerful weapons in justice, and I fear it's diminishing rapidly.
The FBI doesn't fuck around.
