It's been fascinating to see the collision of security and smart contracts. Smart contracts in some ways represent an idealized view of the law, of law as code divorced from the messiness of reality, and security and hacking has a way of circumventing and/or dismantling such constructs via unknown unknowns. This post is a reminder that legal hacking has probably always been a thing even if it wasn't called that.

Which were not like your regular lawyer “off the street” these were always “hackers” that would count minutes or specific holes to get their clients off the hook. I don’t think Mitnick was ever able to get such a lawyer because if he did, he would not be a hacker he would be just another gangster.
