Fascinating take on a different, darker side of tech innovation. Makes complete sense that criminal gangs use the same agile approaches to innovation that a start-up would use. Of course this is thegruqg writing here, so I expected nothing

An orchid species exists that has a 25-25 cm long flower spur (the comet orchid), and 19th century botanists were puzzled as to how it could be pollinated in the wild. Darwin speculated that an insect with a long proboscis would be found to
