From Sinemia/MoviePass to Eternity (Part 16 of ?)

In the happiest bit of Sinemia news ever...

They're shutting down!

Canceled! Kaput! Thanos-snapped!

Direct from their stupid website:

Also they're under pending FTC investigation as they file for bankruptcy!

And there's a petition on change.org to arrest their CEO!

Bwahahaha! Take THAT, you account-canceling fraudsters!

Wise move, in all honesty. Take the money and run before burning endless millions on a record-breaking Avengers weekend.

Indiewire called it first about Sinemia's pending shutdown, and properly called them out for their desperate super-unethical last-minute cash-grabs. Selling unlimited plans for several weeks in a row while their users have been unable to see anything on their app.

They are the worst. Good riddance.

And in case you haven't already done so, contact your bank or credit card directly to get a refund. Sinemia does not have you high on their list of creditors on their bankruptcy proceedings. So they won't be refunding your money anytime soon.

Your chances at getting a refund with your bank or credit card company are higher now than they used to be. A reddit sleuth noticed one of Sinemia's creditors on their bankruptcy filings is an automated dispute resolution company. Meaning: Sinemia was automating the dispute process on every chargeback request and now they will not be doing that anymore as that company will no longer work for Sinemia for free.

Justice comes slow, but it packs a wallop when it arrives.
