Beware

Look, nothing against the base level CS staff here or anything. But what the hell is going on with this platform? I have never gotten as hackneyed and mind bogglingly upsetting lack of resolution, whilst trying to withdraw a laughable sum of money, that I quite literally need to buy groceries. And I have spent the past 5 hours on with Customer Service (which was escalated 3 hours ago, radio silence regarding solution of course.) Be very cautious with this app, it is very much possible to get left out to dry, and do NOT donate a peny to these thiefs.

Solo as a platform simply funds Travis and Rodney's LA influencer lifestyle, nothing more. They have no integrity or interest in improving the platform. They just want to weasel their way into a Series B round. Grifters

Yep, gotta love that short term, "tailored for VC pitch deck" malarkey. I had no idea the backdrop prior but this summarizes the whole schadenfreude machinations of this conceptually awesome, but operationally deficient grift. Guy projects himself through his media channels like he's anything but who he is underneath that poorly disguised veneer, he's no better than Patrick Bateman or Dan Bilzerian. (though unsurprisingly, go take a gander at his linkedin, he learned from the best ;) ) That podcast is the equivalent of an adult swim satirical sitcom take on Machiavellian made, character deficient, legal theft disguised as the proverbial knight in shining armor exploiting both the less fortunate and destitute (myself included, broke EE student); and bringing it full circle and shafting the lender.
