I have no data to test the following hypothesis, but I suspect that a significant portion of Groupon revenue comes from deal hunters. These are people who love to find a deal, and if they went shopping and found an item with a great price o

I can understand why they chose not to reveal their identities so soon. If they were young as they say, they probably didn't have any power in the organization to speak of, and would almost certainly have been fired within weeks. Now that
