Just because your city isn’t equipped to deal with an unusually high amount of deaths in a pretty way does not mean that the lockdowns saved more quality adjusted life years than they cost. A year of life is worth far more when you’re 20 th

It’s a very reasonable comparison though. Billions of man-years have been ruined by the COVID fearmongers. It’s perfectly reasonable the much scarier stuff we aren’t panicking about.

A route with latencies like this suggests the traffic bouncing through another country, I can’t imagine LI causing that. Intercepts aren’t hard, it’s a feature built into regular ISP hardware. I’d guess this was just a separate, unrelated r

That’s a hilariously bad comparison. If my electricity company starts fucking around, people might literally freeze to death. Apple store is not at all like a public utility, it would be downright madness to regulate it like such. Public u

That 700k is not referring to someone actually assuming someone elses identity. A tiny fraction of them might be, but tax return fraud or unemployment fraud seem like far more likely options.

“Identity theft” hardly ever refers to actually assuming someone else’s identity.

Yeah, you probably don’t want to cash out $100 million at a time. That is obviously going to draw attention. But $10 million a year? Perhaps much more if split over a couple of jurisdictions? No problem. In the end this was about stolen $10

The mistake has to be in the early stages, it should be impossible to get caught in the “cash out monero” stage. Even if the government figures out that you have unexplained assets, that isn’t the same as getting caught. Having unexplained
