Who do you suppose is in the proper right here? Is Airbnb just being overly cautious? Are you, like most of the commenters who spoke back to Casper's video, of the opinion that the app isn't "worth it anymore?"

Also, what do you assume took place with the property? As of this writing, it doesn't appear that Casper has uploaded any further details about it.
