Was reading this article and thought to myself, "I swear I have read this before." Good ole 'bank' scams. Obviously someone has played Eve and learned a thing or two. Pirate

That's what happens when you play with imaginary money.

IIRC DBANK came crashing down after Shar had deleted their database.

Manalapan tried to spin it into some glorious scam after the fact but simple burnout is a far more likely culprit.

Whoops, there goes humanities´ hope of freeing itself from the shackles of.... those evil banksters. Or whatever. What a setback.
And no more fighting evil gayhating Russia either, now that the Olympic Games are over. Double setback.

No worries, though, the 99% undoubtly already have a new and improved plan to free humanity from some oppression...
