The hackers aren’t the ones running the receiving accounts, those are offered by finance professionals taking 20-60% and paying out in cryptocurrency. Making money “disappear” after a couple of international transfers isn’t particularly dif

Bread freezes just fine, I could name you a bunch of 3 star Michelin places serving frozen bread every day. You still want a humidity controlled oven for reheating, so not necessarily super convenient at home. A high-end baker I work with (
