davout··on Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and eBay exit Facebook’s Libra project
There are many cases where asking the beneficiary is not necessary, fraud is only one of them.

And to clarify, it's not really "fraud", it's "claim by the originator that a fraud occurred". Which is a very different thing, and which matters immensely in practice.

oh, wait a second, it just factored a second one... (and no, it's not the one sharing a prime with the first factored one).

So summed up: 2 known keys factored so far, 2 more waiting to be identified among the running product (should apparently take a week to identify).
