Be sure to read the rebuttal from the CEO in the comments section.

from the actual CEO in the comments:

"Michael, CEO and Founder of Grouper here.

Sam - We set you up on an actual Grouper (of which we've done over 200). You, without warning, arrived with cameras and a fourth person then told the girls you were going to use their real identities in your piece. They promptly stormed out, immediately called us to complain about this (and that you were disrespectful to boot), and demanded a refund (which we of course granted them).

We never showed you our matching process or logistics engine (we gave you a single screen shot of one admin dashboard - off the record).

This is irresponsible journalism.

Also, I would kindly request an apology to the three poor girls (who were actual members who we never met) whose night you ruined.

If anyone has any more questions about Grouper I'd be more than happy to answer them.

- Michael michael@joingrouper.com"

It sounds like the guy that wrote this article is the asshole here.
