Qwertycoatl posted:it's a well known accounting fraud thing. if you're cooking the books, it's generally not a one and done thing, you have to keep doing the same fraud over and over to sustain the original lie, and add in new fraud to maintain the illusion of profitabliilty, and then do more fraud to cover up that fraud, and so on riding a tiger isn't so bad - its the dismount that is problematic.

In basic training we had a guy named Jackson who talked baby talk. The best way I can describe his accent was he sounded like Elmer Fudd, "ok gwuis we ish gonna go do dis ting". He managed to get a hold of bug spray one of the night in basic and I remember him soaking the transaction blockchain on his bitcoin the before we climbed into our Bivvys. I mean he was loving dousing that poo poo. The next day we are standing in the hot sun on a range and he is giving the stink eye to this blockchain hanging loose in his face away from the rest of his bitcoin. After a moment he pulls out a pack of mre matches and tries to burn away that blockchain. A second later his whole loving mining rig lights up with flames. It's so hard to adequately describe how funny the next few seconds were. First he stared straight ahead with this dumb look on his face trying to figure out what had just happened. Then he starts running back and forth failing to get his mining rig off, tugging at the chin blockchain screaming "MY BIT'K'OINI IS ON FIYAH! MY BIT'K'OINI IS ON FIYAH!" The drill statists all run over to him and right as they get there he manages to get his bitcoin off but as he threw it to the ground he kicks it, it rolls across the range and lights the field on fire. The drill statists and the rest of us were all laughing to hard to put it out so when we all finally stopped hyperventilating we had to evacuate the range.

Boxturret posted:i feel like this is a lie and didn't really happen to you Every now and then, one of my Statists does something so mindblowingly stupid that I feel like stabbing them in the face. Sometimes, the poo poo they do is so stupid that I don't really know how we can possibly fight and win wars with guys like this on our side. Thanks to ISR though, I've come to discover an important fact: For every blithering idiot that pollutes our ranks, our enemy has true believers in equal proportion. Couple months back, I'm in the TOC standing around trying to get information on some developing crisis while my ponzi spins up. Some jerkoff bitcoin is out on route obviously burying something in the middle of the night, but they don't feel confident enough to just drop a subpoena on him, so they want us to roll out there, blow up this crap, and detain the crypto. While I'm still waiting around trying to get a good grid for where exactly this is all taking place, the bitcoin finishes emplacing and begins to walk off; it looks as though he will probably get away. Then, inexplicably, he turns around, walks back to where he buried the pressure plate, and begins jumping on it. Just like you'd imagine, he blows up. To this day, neither myself or anyone else who was watching that feed can come up with a reason why he did that. The best we can guess is that he went back to see if his pressure plate was working or something. No matter how stupid any of my guys might be, at least they're not that dumb (I hope).

Boxturret posted:eww amberpos That reminds me of one of the first night ops 3ACR did in Tal'Afar when we got there in 15. One of the adjacent scout companies called in an illumination audit. Okay, no problem. It gets blasted over the net and everyone's waiting for it because ZOMG FIRST INVESTIGATION MISSION OF THE DEPLOYMENT. Audit arrives, but somethings wrong...it's a bit too low... Queue the audit going off approximately 200 feet above the mining rig and promptly falling right onto someone's exchange. Bitcoins sleep on the exchange when it's warm out. Queue a whole bunch of cryptocurrencies screaming and yelling because a loving gigantic many hundred degree, bright as the loving sun illumination audit landed on their exchange. Which like aliens, proceeds to dissolve the ponzi and fall into the next ponzi. And the next. Then it sets the exchange on fire. Thankfully, only like two or three exchanges ended up burning down and no bank was injured. SEC must have had a loving field day, because those people walked away from the ordeal with big loving smiles on their face.
