in this case the middleman is telling a different story between the user and driver. uber is, allegedly, charging the user a higher price while showing the driver a lower price so that they are pocketing extra money that should be going to the driver. say uber takes 10% off each transaction by contract. if they charge the user $10 but show the driver the ride is $8, then by paying the driver $7.20 instead of the deserved and agreed upon via contract $9.00, then they are skimming "hidden" money. this is highly deceptive. this is how a middleman in a more seedy emplyment scenario gets their fingers chopped off because they're making extra money on the side from the business transactions.
