On the end who's accountable for this mess? Also what do those software looks like tech wise, is it some heavy enterprise Java with Oracle?

  It's funny because when it was the little guy it deserves jail time, when they found it was a software company it's negligence and no jail time. That being said I understand why, but try convincing the people that were jailed of that.

  Do you think that using your favorite cool language and stack there will never be logic errors? Could be worse, some idiot developer would be even less humble if he thinks he is using some bullet proof language.

  > On the end who's accountable for this mess? The judicial system. You don't lock someone up because some powerful/big company say they stole. My guess is they took the company for its own word.

    People say holding government responsible for mistakes in court is difficult and takes decades. Holding the justice system itself responsible is impossible. In .nl it was found youth judges sent kids and lone mothers to an institution practicing slavery, knowingly, for decades. Textiles. Nobody has ever been held responsible, least of all judges.

  The Post Office is responsible because they drove the process of: 1) buying broken software and not checking it was fit for purpose 2) Vigorously investigating post masters and not relenting even when many of the people being investigated claimed there must be a problem with the software 3) (and this is the kicker) continuing when they started to realise that maybe the software was the problem Personally I think members of the board at the time need to face some kind of criminal, or at least civil, action here.
