I feel for him.
But couldn't they reasonably argue they are not a service for securing this kind of thing?
If i leave $224m in my car and park it in car park at my local shopping centre are they liable for $224m?
I'm not saying they're not liable to some extent.

- lawlessone 8y ago>Fund, is seeking $200 million in punitive damages and $24 million of compensatory damages from AT&T. OK that's even more crazy. I had assumed he lost 224.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoI could reasonably argue that they should not allow any employee to give out my details, such that they can intercept my messages, to anyone. And by allow, I mean even make it possible.
- ProAm 8y agoIt's more he parked it at the dealership, and the dealership made a stranger a spare key to get into the car.
- williamscales 8y agoEven more analogously in my opinion: someone walked into the dealer, said "hey, transfer the keyless entry for my car to this fob right here" and they did.

One, he explicitly chose to store his wealth in a medium without reversal mechanisms. Two, he used an online account. AT&T bears some blame for his loss, but not a tremendous amount.
