A tip:
If you intend to commit fraud or other illicit activity
dont host / store your code on Microsoft GitHub.
Hmm in fact dont use git at all.
Law enforcement only need to find a single developer pc/laptop/whatever
and they will have the entire history, comments, who did it, and code.
Having it all in a centralized system that is configured to be easily
nuked is safer, than trying to nuke every laptop/pc/whatever that has a
copy.
Of course, the entire code base will probably be available on any laptop/pc/whatever that LE can seize, but it is less data than with git.
I wonder if you could do the development all on ram drives on the development
machine, that way if you shut down all the code is gone.
Just make damn sure to stow/check in your code before doing so.
I have partially done this myself a several years ago, but that was only
to try and speed up compile times.
- jrpelkonen 3y agoTrue, but git also has pretty simple means to fake committer identity, rewrite commit history etc. Storing it to GitHub was definetely a major faux pas. However, it seems that the FTX people were not really bothered to cover their tracks.

- ThinkBeat 3y agoIt is best practice to check in, or stow code regularly even on regular machines, in case the HD fails, the computer explodes, or whatever else. May have to be a bit more dilligent but not a big change.
- takinola 3y agoAt what point is it less work to just build something real rather than have all these workarounds to support a fraud?
