But the company is already contending with the impact of increased scrutiny—including a technology-conference appearance in which CEO Andrew Mason gave his interviewer the silent treatment and negative reactions to comments made by Chairman Eric Lefkofsky the day after the original IPO filing that Groupon will be "wildly profitable." In one example of how Groupon has had to retrace some of its public steps, a now-infamous letter from Mason at the beginning of the company's June 2 registration document has been softened and moved back multiple pages in the amended filing. In the newer filing, dated July 14, the word "struggling" was changed to "dealing," and a line about how certain "investments in growth" had in the past "turned a healthy forecasted quarterly profit into a sizable loss" was deleted entirely.
