The fact that they pulled this off for 2 years is impressive to me, you'd think there'd be more oversight for such a big airport tax service but I guess they saw an opportunity and boy did they run with it. The Russian angle is interesting too, makes me wonder how they initially met and how this started. Maybe not movie interesting but I'd love to hear a podcast about this.

So, they were charged with hacking, but not anything specifically about taking money for allowing line jumping.

Would it be legal if they did it in meat-space?

This sounds so stupid.

Two years, up to 1000 rides per day, at $10/ride... Even if they averaged 500 rides per day that's $3.6 million over two years.
