It was a very clever move. Well done!

I believe their podcast “The Daily” also had an episode on it, even got the original lawyer that discovered the trick. It’s a pretty good podcast for those who may not know about it

  Do you know which episode?

    I wasn’t close. https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/the-journal/why-suing-amazon-just-got-easier/1b5b9ca0-620c-40f0-b894-a50ca6638aa1 https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/the-journal/why-suing-amazon-ju... Different podcast but that’s the episode. The Daily is still good.. the one linked above is good as well

  Not pretending to be in the same league as The Daily, but we have a more tech-focused interview with Teel Lidow (the guy I think you're talking about - he's the lawyer who founded FairShake, the company in that NYT article) for the Anvil podcast, along with their tech lead. Fun fact - the entire thing was prototyped by the lawyers using no-code systems, then only rewritten with an actual Web framework when they had proven out the idea: https://anvil.works/blog/podcast-fairshake https://anvil.works/blog/podcast-fairshake

    It definitely predated Teel by nearly a decade.
