  1. Facebook is slinging so much data there is no way they have anything under control. There are probably tens of thousands of people who have access to it--the full set. ...and hundreds of thousands who have retained data sets that were supposed to be destroyed. A true First-World disaster.

    Yeah, as my eyes slid over the cell phone analogy I had to check the date (April 1st??) because I no longer knew what the fuck they were talking about.

    Right. Notice how the losses he "caused" are calculated to be much more than the money he made. Whereas, if you have a "legitimate" business in the US that pollutes the Earth so bad that the government has to step in, close off the area, and use tax payer funds in a decade-long Superfund cleanup effort, you get slapped with a $6MM fine after having made billions conducting your business and blatant negligence. This is one example of an issue that spans several industries and many circumstances.

    If they perhaps calculated that these industries lost $20MM he could simply pay them and walk away. This is a witch hunt.

    How is this different from the gold peddlers on TV? They are targeted at old people using a "home shopping network" mystique and I doubt they deliver any value whatsoever. I question if they even send gold when people purchase it. Order now and you could get $2000 in free gold!!

    The last thing they need is competition for the stock exchanges. Now...if you go through them it isn't a problem. But you will have to cut the broker houses in on the deal with a discount so they can scrape something off the top and wash their hands of it before anyone really finds out what shit is worth. Standard operating procedure.

    Government wants public blockchain dead. They are using threats (non-publicly) against the big players like Google and Twitter because they are low hanging fruit who will do whatever they "suggest." I would look for some major litigation coming soon and they were simply giving Google/Twitter a heads up so they can stay out of it.

    That is perhaps the most astounding thing about this. He had the support of "the authorities." Judging from my life experience dealing with bureaucrats I would have dismissed that possibility before even thinking further on the idea.

    This is what happens when you go undiagnosed well into adulthood. Those suffering from ADHD have their frontal lobe almost completely die out...to feel any life at all you have to jump out of an airplane....and if you can't afford that you can build a rocket out of a trailer. Seen this too many times.

    There are people who really think the Earth is flat? Modern humans believing the Earth is flat is a dystopian nightmare.
