What whiplash lmao
I guess it came together too hard, because~

I'm sure that a woman with an obvious history of starting and dropping business projects once she gets money in, having previously been noted to have tried to launch some coffee shit before, doing the exact same thing again now, certainly wasn't doing anything wrong or questionable! It had to have been a mass report attack! This tiny inconsequential nobody is obviously the center of a coordinated attack!
The crazy part is I hadn't even thought of this whole thing pretty much since my big post and I just randomly decide to check in what's been going on and she gets fucking canned minutes prior.
e2: Actually just remembered her initial attention surge was because she was whining to GamerSupps about Kirsche, so no doubt she's probably under attack by evil racist nazis now! I wonder how long we have to wait until she posts about being assailed by the far right before deleting her post again and claiming "we're not about hate here".
e3:
Woman was asking for proof of physical goods people got from the business and this is proof someone posts. What a fucking print quality on that fucking mug, this is supposed to prove it's not a scam?

Some impressive amount of mental gymnastics on some people approaching this situation knowing about this woman's history of actual scamming and pre-emptively forgiving her for it. The angle of 'you don't believe people can change and rehabilitate' is a neat cope but it doesn't really deflect from the accusations. You can only really claim someone has changed and rehabilitated after a prolonged demonstration that they're no longer going to engage in that behaviour, and frankly this is still early in the operation. Could she really be legit with this? Probably, but only time will really tell. It could be a short term scheme or a long con, but if at any time there's a rug pull on behalf of the person who is clearly known to have a shady history, then the entire thing was never intended to be a genuine change and was always a scheme and people got baited into it.
I have no way to really speculate, having no real information right now on the costs involved to know how much she's spending vs how much she profits. Surely puts on a show of having people replying to her showing off proof of their purchases, and there's certainly some appearance of people having ordered something, but have you noticed that all of them are showing off the packaging exclusively? Not ever showing what it contains, or an actual cup of coffee? The cynical part of my brain would point out that having a bunch of accomplices showcasing empty printed packaging for a 'product' that is still only alleged (from my brief skim) would not cost a lot to set up in order to attempt to legitimize a supposed product just in case someone tried to claim it wasn't real. There's video of supposed beans being roasted for the products to come but, again, not proof that this is really her beans. It's clear she has some association with the place that's claimed to be the roasters she's working with, so she could just be taking footage of the machines in operation for other customers and then being like "Oh yeah this is my coffee!".
Am I thinking too hard about all this? Yes. Am I maybe extrapolating too much? Probably. Is she actually scamming people? Time will tell. I don't blindly trust people to change their habits out of nowhere, especially people I don't personally know with a notable, proven history of doing shady shit for their own gain.
