I don't know a lot about Square, but this article reads like a hit piece, wherein the author has an agenda to write a negative article about the company and to cherry-pick facts and bend descriptions to build the narrative. All magazine-style writing is like this to some degree, but this one is just too extreme. It is basically junk writing. Look, for example, at what Vinod Khosla says about the Starbucks deal, all of which is totally reasonable, but he is turned into some kind of guilty-person-in-detective-fiction with phrases like "he says defensively", which strengthen the desired narrative but have no relation to verifiable facts.
