I'm curious about the mechanism used here.

There was some discussion of this on bluesky. What I'm not clear on is whether the payment was effectively cancelled/taken back/etc. or if they just went and took it out of the bank account. Either is a problem of course but the latter is truly disturbing.

I believe ACH transfers can be reversed for 5 business days, and I think this action was 5 business days after the initial payment, so maybe they used that mechanism?

Ugh.

A constitutional crisis in the world's biggest nuclear power clearly an interesting phenomenon. Whether new or not remains to be seen.

An unelected tech oligarch having the ability to take money from arbitrary government accounts I think would count as "interesting new phenomenon".
