German media have called bike-sharing "idiot economy" because they questioned the sustainability of its profitability. Anbound believes that bike-sharing is not only "idiot economy", but also may be "fraud economy". With the bike-sharing companies closing-down, the user's deposit gradually more difficult to be refunded. Even for the vehicle companies with normal operation are experiencing the situation where money is deducted randomly, with no means of complaints. If this situation continues or even worsen, bike-sharing will become a real scam.
