- jenkstom 2y agoU.S. Treasury bills underpin the financial systems of the world, but most especially that of the United States. This is an ELE for the US.
- dgfitz 2y agoWhat exactly is the concern here? Someone is going to rm -rf / on some magical server holding all the t-bills in the world? This is not a thing that will happen.

- dgfitz 2y agoI don't trust anyone, least of all an elected official. Was my actual point not clear to you, and this is why you moved the goalposts of the conversation?

- spacemanspiff01 2y agoHow about money in the financial system. What would happen if someone makes a mistake, and something causes bond payments to fail? It is an outside risk, but based on the reporting it seems like they are digging into code of large complex financial systems... How much do you trust 1 guy to not make _any_ mistakes. Maybe this is wrong and they are only looking at read only access of the payment system, but it seems sketchy that this is even a risk.
