  "summary": "Gig accounts are rented in open Facebook groups. Background checks bind to an account, not to the person working the shift. Here is what per shift binding looks like.",
  "lede": "Gig platforms run background checks, verify documents, and prompt for selfies. All of it binds a vetted person to an account. None of it binds a vetted person to the shift being worked right now. That gap has an open marketplace, and its price is measured in safety incidents rather than chargebacks.",
