We have unchecked corruption from the 2nd most powerful politician in the country, no one cares https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/02/us/politics/elaine-chao-c...

> We have unchecked corruption from the 2nd most powerful politician in the country Chao is being investigated by the House [1]. Worst case, we’re talking single-digit millions of suspected malfeasance versus billions in Russia of cut-and-dry graft. And most importantly, a wrong here doesn’t excuse a wrong there.

I thought that she had steered some $78,000,000 in Federal projects to her husband's state and then there were also some questions about the business interests of her family members in China[0].

You can duplicate chip & pin EMV cards too. They are prone to fraud just like mag stripe cards. https://www.consumerismcommentary.com/chip-credit-cards-frau...

Only when badly designed. They're theoretically secure (ie. with cryptography), even if practically many can be encouraged to leak their secrets...

There is theory, and then there is what is actually out there.

The fact that something that is actually insecure doesn't have fraud protection is the wrong thing.

I'm still baffled that "leaking card details" is enough to compromise an account. You'd think money would have better security than some random website, but instead you basically need the equivalent of just the login and no password to get access to the money.

Revolut's CFO recently 'resigned' from the company in light of claims that Revolut switched off an anti-money laundering system that flags suspect transactions. Revolut cited 'personal and health reasons' for the CFO's resignation. Whatever those personal and health reasons really were, they clearly passed quite quickly as within the space of a few weeks, said CFO has joined another FinTech company as their new CFO.…

Easy to draw conclusions, right? I wouldn't be so negative without any evidence.

I'm Ukrainian. Recent history has taught me to not trust any Russian citizen for any reason whatsoever.
