Every July, some of the world’s most wealthy and powerful businesspeople from the media, finance, technology and political spheres converge at the Sun Valley Resort for the exclusive weeklong conference. Niraj Shah, co-founder and chief executive officer of Wayfair, attends the fourth day of the annual Allen & Company Sun Valley Conference on Jin Sun Valley, Idaho. government “lost track” of thousands of migrant children in the past years. For instance, it was recently reported that the U.S.
And, considering the fact that, for years, the massive flow of undocumented migrants has been a gold mine for child and human traffickers, the association is strange. That’s a bizarre contract to have for a “higher-end” online company. Hundreds of employees signed a letter stating that Wayfair has a contract worth $200,000 of bedroom furniture with BCFS Health and Human Services that would be distributed to a facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas. In 2019, Wayfair employees organized a massive walkout because it was discovered that the company sold furniture to ICE detention centers. In other words, there is absolutely no need for coming up with crazy prices. I can guarantee you something: Massive online stores such as Wayfair do not experience massive pricing “glitches” and the process of tagging an item as “out-of-stock” is either automated or only a click away. Some explained these prices as a “glitch” or as a way of hiding out-of-stock items.
I’m not a personalization expert, but I don’t believe that printing a name on a shower curtain costs $9,900. The difference: The more expensive one can be personalized with a word. One shower curtain costs $9,999 while the other costs $99. The entire Wayfair debacle began when a user who was looking for high-end storage cabinets (and thus filtering results by highest price first), found bizarre articles with ridiculously high prices. Is this a wild conspiracy theory or was an actual child trafficking network exposed? Here’s a look at the deep rabbit hole that is the Wayfair conspiracy. A few days after, Snopes chimed into the controversy with one of its legendary “fact-checks”, which, to some, is only further proof that there’s actually something going on there. The conspiracy quickly became viral, forcing Wayfair to deny the rumors, while promptly removing all suspicious items from its listings. Approximately six hours after the post was made on Reddit, all the items mentioned in the post were removed from the site, although the pages could still be accessed via Google Cache (not anymore). In the same thread, a Redditor named Forsaken-Clock wrote that they reported the items to the human trafficking hotline and that a case was reportedly opened. The user (who later stated that she was “involved in a local organization that helps victims of human trafficking”) suggested that this might be a front for child trafficking. These items have bizarre distinctive names such as “Neriah” and “Yaritza” (which is odd for “industrial cabinets”). The controversy began when a Redditor named PrincessPeach1987 made a post in the /r/conspiracy subreddit about storage cabinets sold by seller WFX Utility on Wayfair priced in the $12,700-$14,500 range. And, the more internet sleuths uncover bizarre details, the more the conspiracy is gaining steam. The “Wayfair conspiracy” or “Wayfairgate” has been making rounds online on Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, and Tik Tok.
