Misleading headline: the owner set up an account for a family member, but using a criminal's identity, and AirBnB connected the dots. It seems fair enough. Don't use your personal devices to impersonate people you don't really know, or you bear the responsibility.

One other thing worth mentioning that the article also does not: Austin has many more times illegal properties than they do STR permits: https://www.austinmonitor.com/stories/2022/09/majority-of-au...

I do wonder if they went through the process to get a proper permit to operate.
