You can have all the data in the world and still make bad decisions.

Sometimes it's cheaper to just pay the customer rather than hiring more engineers to work out a fraud detection algorithm.

If they realized it, they shouldn't make the customer do a chargeback to get their money in the situations posted in this thread.
