What does it have to do with the corporations? They paid for a service and got scammed by Verra. It’s not like they want to lose money and get bad PR.

When these businesses pay big. Dollars for services, they know what they are getting. In this case, they know they are buying a scam, to use as PR content.

Corporations didn’t buy this media coverage. Some Verra project are legit, many are scam. If Verra want to continue business they’ll have to adapt.
