        Special treatment? They were being stolen from. Just because the money wasn’t in a vault doesn’t mean you can just steal it…???

          if there’s a button that says “free money (don’t press)” and you press it’s absolutely the fault if the company for leaving the button out in public. It should be expected that any user input can and will be abused.

              I just hate governments defending companies from the consequences of their own incompetence without properly buying them entirely

                What incompetence? There’s a balance that has to be found between fraud-proof and convenient, and the current balance is pretty good until someone convinces thousands of gullible people online to go commit fraud.

          Idk sounds like something a major banking company should never have let be possible in the first place.

          Sounds like they should eat that loss for not catching it or fixing it sooner.

          That’s what happens to normal people who fall for exploits/scams. They just have to eat the loss.
