- hippich 11y agoThat would be pretty silly thing to do and I hope no one actually act on this idea. Hackers enjoy it because they are using "mules" providing their checking accounts and then sending wires or western union transfers. Normal person will get caught. While it is possible to setup perfect crime, I bet most will not be able to and end up in jail if they try.
- bmir-alum-007 11y agoPretty silly to take things way too seriously and hate on a decent hypothetical gaming opportunity, don't you think? With perfect security hygiene, more things are attainable. But an even more perfect crime is hedging both sides of an option with phony identities, with different amounts, different enough times, different brokerages, different IP addresses, etc. Feel free to try it out and report back.
