Is it illegal to drive past the speed limit, even when the police are not watching?
What has been done is abusing a system for economical gain, very illegal in most countries.
Who abused the system tho?What has been done is abusing a system for economical gain, very illegal in most countries.
"Theft" is a deliberate action... having received coins through no action on your part, doesn't make you a thief.
If they want to continue to use the term "theft", then I wanna see them making a deliberate action to start charging the people who committed that "theft" and make efforts to reclaim the stolen property, and include some jail time on top of it.
Otherwise, if they're just using "theft" to deflect their own incompetence, then it is a badly used word, and should be dropped.
How does a team not see that they have been losing money for a couple of years, while their only job is to be the middle man in transactions.
And THIS question here, is probably the most relevant question I have seen asked about all of this..."theft"
... this was flat out incompetence and apathy about how their business was functioning... it is their own damned faults for the losses they ended up having... calling it "theft" is a joke...=squeak=
