    Its own site states: "This entity has no ownership, corporate, or operational relationship to the former LendUp Loans,
    LLC (formerly Flurish, Inc.), LendUp Global, Inc., or their former executives." Wiring this domain into this profile would
    misattribute a different company''s surfaces.'
