Man Accused of Masterminding the Hacks That Shook Wall Street

This reads like a real-life SPECTRE organization. Huge, brazen, with tentacles in many countries.

I'm astonished. I (seriously) thought stuff like this happens in novels and in movies, not in real life.

That's quite the story. Fragments were already out there but to see all the pieces laid out end-to-end makes it a lot more serious than what I'd figured out so far.

Makes you wonder why they did not stop when they were ahead.

How else do you get to 'too big to fail'?

As always Matt Levine as some interesting takes on this.

I love how 100 million in fraud shakes wallstreet, while we all more or less quietly ignore much more severe in monetary scope and prevalence fraud in the business and larger banking sector. Such as the LIBOR scandal.

What? The LIBOR scandal was Wall St banks.
