Not to mention the fact that the Starbucks money, due to it being put through eBay of all things, will have eBay and PayPal fees deducted, and the final bid might not even come close to $600 because the nominal value of a card isn't exactly dictated by the amount put on it. So unless someone is nice enough to tie up $600 of their own money in coffee just to redress that balance, this Odio fella has just wasted it for the sake of what, self promotion? I'd say he did it remaining startlingly unaware of the potential consequences and didn't actually think anything through beyond taking the money. Finally, since he posted his code on github, how do we know other people didn't use it and take money themselves? And how much?
