I'm a former software engineer at Puzzle Financial (Oct 2020 - May 2023; puzzle.io). Until today, Sasha Orloff has not acknowledged me publicly, relying on silence and whistleblower retaliation via Orrick.

Last night, Thanksgiving eve, he broke that silence on Wikipedia Help Desk, referring to me as "this user Patrick Stoica," calling federal CFPB documents and lawsuits "made up" and making surgical edits to hide that LendUp's lifetime lending ban covers him personally.

I've filed 5 SEC complaints, a California State Bar complaint (Case No. 25-O-30894), and a California Board of Accountancy complaint (Case No. A-2026-1047).

LendUp is a YC12 company. Puzzle received investments from a "YC Alum Syndicate" and has an active partnership onboarding YC companies. I've given YC advanced warning of Sasha's continued fraudulent conduct. They've chosen silence and censorship.

Any actions taken regarding this post will be similarly logged. They have already been notified; documentation is already in the SEC's hands.

It was before. They didn't acknowledge it and put the RTO in effect. (Second-hand account.)

preach. it feels like it's only getting worse no matter the size of the company. people fundamentally don't understand creativity.

Check out https://mailing.run. Similar project that can be embedded or run as a standalone API. Also uses MJML which is indispensable for cross-client compatibility.

Another tip, I highly recommend a CSS minifier which inlines styles to fix a variety of CSS priority issues.
