Jay replied that it was a job interview 8 years ago before he joined stripe. Jay started building this product in 2020.

Jay met with people from Plaid a few times. All were at Plaid's requests...

RFP is about Plaid becoming the service partner for Stripe like how MX is currently a partner. Plaid decided not to become a partner.

And of course plaid CEO doesn't respond.

Plaid CEO mentioned "interview" but intentionally left out "8 fucking years ago, and it was a job interview".

Plaid CEO also got the RFP, so they have been aware that Stripe is building this because Stripe wanted to depend on MX, Plaid, and etc. But Plaid CEO acted surprised to this launch.

It sounds like Plaid CEO maliciously misled people. Does this guy have any ethics left?
