I think the way Uber has handled this is truly excellent. In London we have a huge range of service levels to choose from: - UberX: The cheapest option, truly a mixed bag. - Comfort: Drivers with 500+ trips, average 4.85 rating and mid-size

I suggest you read OPs comments more carefully, he is complaining that Amazon is “fraudulently” refunding his orders instead of delivering them when weather permits. Yes, what he is saying doesn’t make any sense.

I smuggle things onto planes all the time. Nothing exciting, just bigger bottles of liquids. The trick? Just hide them in your clothes and walk through the metal detector. Rick Owens pants with a plethora of massive hidden pockets make this

Yeah, but everyone already knew that unregulated exchanges are faking their volumes. This isn’t news to anyone who has the slightest clue about cryptocurrency markets. This is one of the few things about cryptocurrency markets that isn’t be

> That's what changed with cryptocurrency. Do you have any evidence to suggest that cryptocurrency was the driving force here, rather than just natural evolution of ransomware operations? I don’t believe so. Winlockers blew up right

Google winlockers, they were plentiful before “ransomware” term became popular. Ransomware was already booming when cryptocurrency first hit the cybercrime scene after the Liberty Reserve seizure. Gift cards were a common method of cashing

There’s a vast industry of people supplying services to cash out illicit wire transfers. The complexity depends on the amount. For individual amounts below 20-30k (craigslist scams, etc) you’ll be looking at personal bank accounts, usually

Bullshit, these people have US and Canadian corporate accounts capable of cashing out millions at a time. You can easily get thousands of US personal accounts at short notice if you need them.

There’s no irony here. Ransomware would keep going if cryptocurrency disappeared tomorrow, these people have the infrastructure to receive and launder huge wire transfers. Even the far less sophisticated african groups manage that, read the

It works exactly like this in the US too. The numbers shown to consumers are not what big financial institutions base their decisions on. By the same logic credit scores don’t exist in the US either. It’s just an approximation, your bank

Nothing deserving of jail time happened here. Maybe we should also start jailing people for parking wrong or driving slowly on the left lane?
