Please holster the hyperbole as this isn't a case of online scammers stealing someone's money but a crisis unlike any other the airline industry has faced in decades, if ever. I've read many varying opinions on the legality of providing credits instead of refunds and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the matter so until there's more clarity I'll reserve my rush to judgement. That is of course merely MHO as a poster.
