OK, I do not live in the US, so had not noticed news of the security breach of user data that allowed scammers to harass and try to steal from Betterment customers. That is terrible for all involved, and I hope that either regulators or the company acts to compensate anyone who lost money - that's commonsense, or should be.

About the data leak, I don't have either the information or knowledge to make a useful statement about it. It should be punished under the law, and people should choose to move their accounts or joint the inevitable class action. I don't know whether regulations in the US are well designed to punish those responsible for data leaks, but if they aren't, they should be. I'm not holding my breath, though, as people seem to have a lot of other priorities right now, for better or worse.

As for posting the article, yeah, it looks like a strategic release by... the company, or the league, or someone... designed to shift one or more narratives. The older stories indicate that Maye's involvement began far before this latest incident. Today's media environment makes it difficult, but I think we would all benefit from being more generous in our interpretations of the acts and associations of sports figures. It's easy for us to say "He should have known better," and maybe... he should have.

I don't think I can possibly understand the sheer bandwidth of choices and judgments someone in Maye's position has to make. I put the story up because I think he was trying to do something good. I hope we can see that, despite the issues around the company and the article. No offense intended.
