The submission describes OnPoint Global (despite the name 'SwiftRider'), a company subject to a $102 million FTC judgment in 2021 for operating a network of hundreds of deceptive websites mimicking government portals (e.g., DMV services) to harvest and sell consumer data. While the project claims 'high growth' and 'first-party data capture,' federal courts found these practices to be fraudulent and harmful to millions of consumers. The project demonstrates negative real-world utility, as its business model relied on misleading users rather than providing genuine value.
