A comment on Doordash and Pizza Arbitrage. Parent comment

No idea, I'm not a lawyer. But in the original post he mentioned that he "cut a deal" with the restaurant, which to me suggests that he got the $5k back, possibly in cash, from the restaurant. If he then pockets to tax he saved, that smells like tax evasion.

He then tweaked his story to say that this cost him $5k. Why did he say he was cutting a deal then?

I think he’s saying the owner will comp him deliveries. Not pay him back.

You make a great point. They also mention they are an options trader on wall street, so $5000 easily could be throwaway money for a double-good cause

The person who posted the comment about $5000 pasta is not the same as the person who wrote the article (who mentioned trading).
