and if you look at the latest gen, the robots clearly are quieter-so BD is still listening to the needs of the military.

My take: This company can make boku bucks selling to the military, but not while Google is the parent. They've had military applications in mind this whole time, but held back from making the sales. To let this company soar, it needed to get out from under the google umbrella.

Google wont sell to the military, but apparently they will fund years of R&D for military use cases. Unfortunately the sale price that google will get for BD will take into account the future Military contracts that will be available now. Meaning Google will be indirectly profiting off selling robots to the military.

FYI You're actually more at risk than CandyJapan if you're shipping physical goods based on successful Auth and/or offer a low pricepoint item. Even without catching the uptick in orders, CandyJapan likely would be able to see some chargebacks or fraud advice before the bulk ship date (2x a month I believe).

One thing i've learned in my short time in the industry, fraudsters are great at finding weak merchants for card testing and triangulation schemes. What was 4 days worth of work for this fraudster, cost CJ thousands in fees, multiple days. How many late nights have been devoted to cleanups like this?

Also, a lot of payment processors are offering complex fraud solutions (ipGeo, proxyPiercing, device fingerprinting, etc) for pennies per Auth. definitely worth asking your processor and your processor's processor for more info. Beats being the lowest common denominator.
