There is an old Dutch saying which goes: "Trust comes afoot and leaves on horseback". When you're in the compliance business you cannot fumble this ball, but you have.

I don't see a way to recover frankly Their existing customers are seriously exposed, i don't see this going anywhere except court The problem is the malicious intent, you just can't do that anywhere, esp not in a trust based business..

The CEO is a clear scammer. How anyone trusts another word out of her math is beyond belief.

> we built on an Apache 2.0 open-source repository, which explicitly permits commercial use, and significantly rebuilt it for compliance use cases This framing is misleading. Apache 2.0 permits commercial use, but it also requires you to retain copyright/attribution notices, include the license, and add prominent notices to modified files. Also hard to square “the allegations are fabricated” with simultaneously offer…

Also: you'd expect a compliance company to understand basic software licensing, especially the most popular.

There are numerous contradictions in their messaging. They admit the data matches, but is being misconstrued, but they're going to rebuild their network and reaudit customers anyway. I can only assume they've received advice on this poorly thought out message delivery from the same place they received that awkward gesture and body language coaching. I'm sorry to say that the combination comes across as insincere.

It's important to note that pathological liars don't stop lying. In fact, when they're caught lying red-handed, they usually double down and lie even more.

I also assume these damage control type missives to be very misleading. Seen so many of these on HN over the years.
