> one of the wires referenced an organization with the word "Jupiter" in its name, which by dumb luck happened to be a word on an international blacklist Really makes you think about what you should name your company! Imagine trying to start a Venmo competitor called "Jupiter Pay" and discovering mid-launch that all your payments are delayed due to an opaque process. Sounds a lot like the problems people have when they share a name with some terrorist and try to board a plane.
