#3Impressive that it was a one line code change to allow a 65b credit line. This is some office space level stuff.

Satire is dead and the last couple decades of reality killed it.

if user == 'SBF'; model = TestModelDoNotUse
But seriously, I would love to know too. It really could be as simple as allowing a certain account "unlimited" credit, as the article suggests. I only have reservations since it seems like a bit of a game of telephone and sometimes journalists go for the sensational vs simple.

#8I'm guessing this "single line of code" called a function which was 9000 lines.
Regardless this is pretty damning smoking gun information if true. "uh-oh, sphaghettio"s becomes a pretty tough legal defense.

#9Reminds me back at a certain large travel website I worked at, someone left the debug promo codes enabled in prod...
Eventually someone found the "5000off" code, and posted it to Slickdeals.
We had alarms for bookings that lost us money (especially with bundled flights), so it was found relatively quickly, but around 30 people had used it already...
Except SBF was just massive fraud, not a whoopsie doopsie.

The article says “single number”, not “single line of code”.
