Yet another shiny example of money vs. ethics in the Valley.

Also, don't look towards the engineers, who may or may not have known. Look towards the money. Who are the VCs invested in them and how many of them knew and encouraged that in the name of growth? And, of course, the executives.

GrubHub is based in Chicago, however.
