There's a pretty good documentary about MoviePass entitled "MoviePass, MovieCrash" that goes into detail about the fraud. It's a pretty wild story.
Mitch Lowe and Ted Farnsworth were very deceptive about Moviepass and its parent company. They also started using shady tactics to prevent paying customers from using the service, like changing power users' passwords and posing it as a technical problem to prevent them from getting tickets to high-profile movies.
Ted Farnsworth is the more interesting character of the two. He's essentially a scam artist, in my opinion.
Great follow up to the MoviePass, MovieCrash documentary on HBO.
