When I interview someone who wasn't referred by someone I know or when I'm unsure of the numbers before an interview, I often ask them to log into their affiliate or paypal or bank account to show me activity using Skype's desktop share. Or I ask for their accountant to confirm their numbers. Or I ask to see their tax returns. I always keep what I see private.
In this case, I didn't need to do that because: a) $80k per month for iPhone makers isn't shocking -- as other have said in the comments -- b) anyone who checks out the app store on a regular basis will recognize the apps these guys made because they're often the most popular in their categories. You can check on this right now, and c) the big part of this story was that they outsourced everything and elance confirmed that.
Finally, I can't be 100% accurate with every interview I do -- not even close. I count on readers to point out when I get my data wrong and when I let my interviewee get away with lying.
I don't think that's the case here. But when it comes up, say something.
I respect readers' opinions and feedback. Anyone is welcome to call me "slimy," but there's no need to do that to get my attention.
Just to correct the impression. I was calling the interviewee's slimy for their sales page tactics.
My opinion of you (already low) dropped through association.
I understand you're trying to keep up the pace, but sometimes the right thing to do is give up quantity for quality.
Overall I think he's a great interviewer.
