    Man, it’s early, go back and reread. The journalist got their own room, Flock called the event and claimed that the room was a part of their block and canceled the reservation. The hotel agreed and even held their refund since it now appeared that that room was originally set aside for Flock. Journalist reaches out, explains the situation, and the hotel finally understands. They then apologize about the confusion and actually process the guy’s refund.

      And what part of that is impersonating? He signed up for a block reserved for someone else. Flock cancelled it. The hotel finished processing the refund request because they shouldn’t have allowed him the room in the first place.

        No, he explicitly got his own room. It’s in the thread and you’ve been told this directly, so you no longer have any excuse for misunderstanding.

          He personally registered for a room under the block. Then flock said, cancel his room, he’s not with us and allowed in the block. The hotel complied.

          Where is the impersonation or crime?

            They claimed his room was in their block when it was not. That’s what you’re not getting.

              It was in their block though - it was his reservation, but a reservation of a room already reserved for their block. Basically a double booking.

        Oh! I don’t care about the impersonation claim. They did cancel his room that wasn’t under their block by claiming that it was (that’s why they withheld the refund). But yeah, don’t think it was impersonation, just corpo “we’ve got all the cards” bullshit.

          Cool story. Has nothing to do what what I originally said about the propaganda though and not in line with the actually folks doubling down but cool.

          Hang the CEO. Don’t make up shit that didn’t happen. Radical, I know.
