The Pledges & Investing

Since non-Monzo users have been able to invest in this round of crowdfunding, there’s been a report from at least one user who knows someone else that pledged multiple times from several accounts, in order to increase their chances of being picked to invest in the ballot.

I know that Monzo had concerns about filling the allocation & perhaps Crowdcube won’t allow this - but could the next round of crowdfunding be restricted to Monzo users only - to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to invest?
I expect that would mean more people sign up as Monzo users too :tada: & they really should if they’re considering investing! Fake pledges don’t help Monzo get an accurate picture of the level of interest from potential investors either.

Also - if Monzo / Crowdcube did anything to prevent people registering from several accounts, that would be good to know.
