The trouble is finding someone to bribe who won’t suddenly start buying new things.
- bravoetch 7y agoTo follow through on that though, what makes you think that would be anything noticeable? Suddenly a coinbase employee buys a cool car or other new toy... So what? Nobody would think that was exceptional.
- ryacko 7y agoI think this is why investigations require low levels of evidence to start, but high levels of evidence to end. Just because it isn’t exceptional doesn’t mean that it isn’t worth looking into. People who are greedy are impulsive and are unlikely to hide an inflow of cash.
- ALittleLight 7y agoTheft isn't restricted to impulsive people though. It's mostly restricted to people who think they'll get away with it. Clever and cautious people may actually be able to.
- ryacko 7y agoUh. Yes. But things don’t disappear do they?
- johnisgood 7y agoI read this as putting people's behaviors under scrutiny because "just in case". You could use your reasoning to expand the surveillance state, etc. I cannot say I like the idea.
- ggg3 7y agothe problem is finding security pundits that know that crime can force people to do things in other ways than money...
- momokoko 7y agoThe bribe is so that you are now a party to the crime and less likely to try and turn them in after the fact. The threats to your life and the lives of your family is actually what gets the job done.
