Yea, that is a reason to remain 'low profile'. But the faucet...yea, that just doesn't make sense. 5, 20 or 100 coins, grabbing from the faucet will hurt the end game.
Now we are getting somewhere. Hacker works for the CIA? Or, more likely, hacker works for a large bank or collection of banks? Stealing from the faucet is terrorism, plain and simple. Call the federales.
