One-off data manipulation being an easy example. wouldn’t build a financial vehicle out of one though.

Garbage collection seems to get rid of bitcoin really well, so I think it's serving its purpose.

So the big thing about Poland's soon-to-be-former party-in-government is that it's insanely corrupt. This is genuinely not outside the realm of possibility for them. Dollars against peanuts say the IT management company is somehow connected to the family of whichever PiS figurehead is in charge in that region.

it's not even the first time something like that happens. i'm pretty sure there was at least one instance of that happening in iirc a school in the us but yeah doing that in a courthouse is kinda like that one con artist who was sending fake invoices to various business, which was working well, until he not-so-wisely sent one to a den of lawyers
