Fox 31 Denver reported that the website is a "side project" for Zaman, who "grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., and graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science at age 20 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute." He claims not to have made any money from the project.


Zaman told the network that a lawsuit was "inevitable", but he says there's nothing illegal about his website: "[Hidden city ticketing] have been around for a while, it just hasn't been very accessible to consumers."


A GoFundMe campaign has raised over $15,000 for his legal fees.
