Ah, you forget that the guest and the host are not doing business with each other; both are dealing with AirBnB which means AirBnB is the only party with standing to file a criminal complaint against the host. And that their TOS binds the guest. Given how completely they caved to the guest, I’m guessing even an arbitration hearing would have gone her way.

Probably because it falls under the binding arbitration clause in AirBnb’s terms of service.

So long as you have managed to acquire the correct well-connected lawyers and made friends in high places.
