Well, maybe deacticate the guy's account instead of the victim? Or arbitrate it properly? Definitely not disable access to her account (and money). But I guess now she has a legal case against them for both negligence and wage theft (I know the US doesn't really prosecute wage theft, even though it is the biggest form of financial theft).
I assumed they froze both accounts to have a legal team properly review everything. Even a small complaint can get your account frozen. And it's not wage theft when you're technically a third party contractor.
Are you under the impression that third party contractors are not paid wages?
Sounds like she posted her video of the customer online, which would seem to make her hands unclean. Taking the video for your own evidence sure, but posting it online crosses a line. So I could easily see both parties having their accounts suspended.
So he likely set a trap for a stranger to get a show to get off on being a bit of an exhibitionist, but it's hard to really prove that intent, and she took a video of it and then posted it online, which is another whole can of worms being opened.
Now if they are refusing to let her take money from doordash, she's got a legal case, though unsure if it is 'wage theft', since the whole loophole with these 'gig' companies is that there's no employment and it's all transactional. Terribly exploitative system.
"deactiate"
Thank you, spelling police...
