If she was some struggling person in some low value housing for sure. But that fact she asked for relocation fee of 100k on top of this BS you think that is a cool hacker mindset?

She has a lawyer, she is living in a high value house. She seems to be an entitled bitch.

Are you saying this isn't a clever use of loopholes in legible, regulated systems? I.e. "hacking the system"?

You can be entitled and be a hacker. You could argue every single billionaire "hacks" economic systems to achieve their goals. You think none of them are entitled?

>Are you saying this isn't a clever use of loopholes

No, she's saying that a clever use of loopholes doesn't exclude you from being an asshole.

I'm really trying to read that comment as you have interpreted it but all I'm seeing is a mutual exclusion being drawn between "entitled bitch" and "hacker" and all I'm saying is they're not mutually exclusive.

It's not some kind of a novel hack, it's a boring old squatting. There are even multiple films made about this (e.g. Pacific Heights cited multiple times in this topic) not to mention countless articles and news pieces. It's as much of a hack as carding.
