1. Wolves were basically exterminated in the continental US for most of the 20th century
2. There were still deaths from wolf attacks in North America during that time
The report to the government about a more than 50% fraud rate was from six years ago. The Minnesota government was not serious about dealing with problem. Most businesses would not last that long with a 50% customer fraud rate.
Yes, there were some investigations and convictions, but nothing to on a scale that would deal with problem, nor any systematic change to a level paying huge amounts of money to scammers.
Similarly, it drives me up the wall with people posting black and white "historical photographs" of history happenings, that are AI slop, and from the wrong era.
Just yesterday someone posted a "photo" of a 1921 where a submarine lost power, and built sails out of bedsheets to get home.
But the photo posted looked like a post WWII two submarine, rigged like a clipper ship, rather than the real life janky 1920's bed sheet rig and characters everywhere.
Yes. As someone who spent years on the receiving end of these, I'd change my original post to be about "real" vulnerabilities, not the results of automated scans.
If I have a bank vault that can only be opened by one key, an attacker comes to my house, steals the key, opens the bank vault, and takes everything valuable inside, I think that it would count as stealing in every sense of the word, regardless of the correct behavior of the bank vault in only opening for the right key.
I know there's a fun semantic debate about smart contracts hacks, but at the moment this theft does not appear to be in that category.
Or the attacker had stolen the private key. But either way, I'm quite skeptical of Polychain's denial that a key was involved. We'll know for sure over the next few days at any rate.
The message, "DONT USE YOUR USDT TOKEN YOU VE GOT BLACKLISTED",
appears to be knowingly offering how to advice to someone actively committing the crime of hiding stolen money.
18 U.S. Code § 3 defines an "Accessory after the fact" as "Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact." and states that it's worth half the jail time as the primary offense.
However, it could also be argued that hanashiro.eth is aiding someone in committing the crime of money laundering, not just helping them avoid being caught, in which case 18 U.S. Code § 2 says that planning, ordering, or knowingly helping commit a crime makes one eligible for the same full full punishment as the primary actor.
If they weren’t using Lumberyard, that would be more exciting, but CryTech claims RSI is, and some of their other claims are based on RSI having switched. They can’t have it both ways.
For example they are sueing that they only licensed cryengine for one game, and yet RSI was planning on using it for two games. However the second game has never shipped, and RSI has switched both games over to the Amazon Lumberyard engine. This particular claim seems like it’s going to get thrown out.
My guess is that we’ll see a settlement in this. It doesn’t seem like this going to hurt RSI very much.
