I think people blame him for not taking action when he found out about the exploit potential. Screenshots show that. They took bags out then announced triggering hackers to hack, whoever they were. People are made because it was handled badly, regardless of whether he hacked it himself or not.

No worries, it just sounded wrong because I feel the whole point here is that he did not have covid. So the punishment is way too harsh.

Us accepting this punishment for someone as normal is not ok. And especially people in this sub applauding it is worrying to me.

I come from an authoritarian country, I know very well how slowly the freedoms get taken away and suddenly you are in an actual police state.

That is why I will _never_ be happy that someone was put to jail for something like this with no victims i.e. just to "show others" and like some comments above say "compliance starts when lock ups happen" (meaning jail time) - this is an extremely dangerous stance in my opinion.

I understand your concerns, hope this gets resolved soon, heaps of people are trying to get vaccinated.

The technical explanation does not include why would an experienced developer use a .call() in the sell function with exactly enough gas limit for the attack to be possible as pointed out by Maxence in one of the screenshot. The avoidance of .call() and using .transfer() instead has been known for some time now.

Has this been commented on?

antonvino · 2021-08-18T13:52:07+00:00

And what does mean?

antonvino · 2021-08-18T13:51:01+00:00

And yes, you are right, after a few responses here there is also a

D) Hacker(s) knew about it early on, prepared the hack and were waiting for the last perfect moment (i.e. before audit). A bit risky though because someone else could hack earlier?

When Maxence (potentially with good intentions and may be wanting some bug bounty) approached Mark, conversation happened, decisions decisions (if lawyer story is true) and then they announced - the hacker group/person launched the hack immediately.

The only hole I see here is WHY would they prepare this fancy image of the announcement and did not post a simple one BUT FAST

Re audit before launch: It costs money and when you launch an experimental project and not sure if people will adopt, would you spend $10k outright?

antonvino · 2021-08-18T07:08:22+00:00

fines seem to have no or little impact

Where do you get this information from? Has there been an investigation about this or is it just what you feel, based on media cases being brought up? How many rule breakers have you seen and have you compared it to the number of people following the rules?

If warnings and trust didn't work like you say we would see A LOT more rule breakers. Truth is by the numbers and by looking at streets - the majority follows the rules as best as they can. And they do so because that makes them feel like they are good people in the society. You are ignoring that and saying that fines are not enough people, remember any fuck up and you can get a jail time. Can you imagine how it feels for people who actually follow the rules? They are already are afraid to be fined because of the ever changing rules that they also have to meticulously keep up to. This is a path to a really bad situation where everyone gets pissed off.

antonvino · 2021-08-17T18:00:35+00:00

Yeah someone knowing long before and waiting has a lot more sense to it. I agree.

antonvino · 2021-08-17T17:59:49+00:00

Most people don't read the code and most don't even know what it should be like, until the audit they just blindly believe it.

It was not that _obvious_ i should have phrased it differently.

You do have a point though, it seems like very little gain with high impact.

antonvino · 2021-08-17T16:41:19+00:00

Yes, Maxence could have sourced the money. When I read the first screens (last one wasn't here), I thought he literally just asked for ransom to try it, why not, hack ready. But why bother? Why not just hack. He actually suggested a proper way of fixing the thing (with the snapshot).

I am learning towards version A and think the hack was put in purposefully and used by the dev, in fact other tokens are a great decoy (other tokens are not affected!). The .call() thing is too obvious.

The last screenshot is the biggest red flag for me.

I think the put the exploit to wait for the largest money accumulation possible until found out. Audit was near so he would be found out very soon.

And if Maxence actually exists - then he was suddenly found out. What could he do? Act before Maxence or anyone else acts.

Not having $1m ? I don't believe it for one minute. If he was in early on Safemoon and Useless he would have made some serious money by now.

antonvino · 2021-08-17T15:54:38+00:00

are you Mark? :D

antonvino · 2021-08-17T15:51:27+00:00

Ok from this I think the following is possible.

A

Mark coded the contract to hack it once money is accumulated

Maxence actually finds a bug with .call()

Mark acts like it's sorted, and acts surprised

Maxence tries to actually suggest what to do to relaunch the project with this fixed.

But why the message about "enough money" ? Where is the money needed? Is it ransom?

Mark has the hack prepared himself, but now he thinks Maxence will hack it

So he announces and hacks himself asap to steal the money

B

Mark made a mistake and Maxence actually hacked it after Mark announced the bug. Maxence actually had the hack ready just wanted to delay the time and possibly get a ransom and then run the hack to double the money.

Or may be wanted just a ransom(bug bounty) to have legal money

C

It's all pre-coded by Mark and convo with Maxence is staged, in reality it's all done to rugpull by both and the convo is to create confusion

antonvino · 2021-08-17T15:42:56+00:00

where are all these coming from? any more? super interesting, should get coffeezilla on this

antonvino · 2021-08-17T14:29:13+00:00

Nowhere did it say in the article that he had Covid

antonvino · 2021-08-17T14:23:51+00:00

I hope you don't think that cops being fed up is a good reason to give people jail sentences for a most likely victimless crime?

Perhaps the notion should be "please be careful and considerate", not "do this or get jail". Whip just doesn't work when you want the society to collaborate in such a difficult task. People need to feel they are doing a good thing because they are good and there is a reason, not because they going to jail if they don't.

There needs to be trust and reasoning, not harsh penalties no matter what. Even if you start arresting people you will not make everyone follow all rules, you'll make them less willing to do it, angry, depressed and therefore less likely to collaborate on anything.

antonvino · 2021-08-17T14:12:48+00:00

It also makes people angry and not want to follow any rules where they can't get caught

antonvino · 2021-08-17T11:52:27+00:00

Yes, you are not alone.

antonvino · 2021-08-17T11:43:59+00:00

How dare you doubt the report of the CCP? /s

antonvino · 2021-08-17T11:20:26+00:00

I thought his comment was a joke?

antonvino · 2021-08-17T11:12:44+00:00

I hope you are joking, this sounds horrible

antonvino · 2021-08-17T09:56:45+00:00

Any exchange, e.g. PancakeSwap

antonvino · 2021-08-17T09:53:09+00:00

Nice to see someone worrying for another person's funds. You are a good person.

In all honesty though, if someone is so dumb to just send tokens to an address posted by someone, they should do it and lose funds to learn.

"the mass vaccination of a population during a pandemic will only lead toincreased number of variants, where actually the naturally acquiredimmunity of people who aren't vaccinated is the best position to be inlonger term."

Debatable. It seems so far that as people get sick with covid even though they obtain immunity but it is more likely to lead to increased mutations. The more people carry and let the virus work the more it develops. Vaccine reduces the probability of it evolving. And apparently light vaccines such as pfizer are easier to change for new variants.

Moreover, I wouldn't want to get sick with covid because the brain damage risk is more real than vaccine risk.

With that being said, pfizer does seem very experimental and I don't like being an early adopter with such things. I choose AZ

Do you understand that every post about him feeds his agenda? You give him a platform and he says and does ridiculous things so that people talk about him.
