Dear Brian CEO & HOC
Comment:
In the software industry, its normal practise to pay a bounty to engineers who find errors in computer code (bugs, not to be confused with the other sort of bedbugs that are now appearing on the Airbnb site), even the mighty Apple have started doing it!
Suggestion:
That Airbnb put in place such a bounty to tract down and eliminate fraudulent hosting’s and swindles.
Issues:
What’s to stop people finding the fraudulent sites they set up and claim the bounty, publicity for one thing and the fact that these sites could be traced back to them quite easily.
Cost:
I’d say that this would cost Airbnb $3,000,000 to implement but think of the goodwill and publicity it would generate and it fits into Airbnb’s model of contractors.
3,000,000 sites
1% fraudulent?
$100 bounty per site
The geniuses can do the refined calculation….
