    Another data theft, which is not what people envision when they think “Robin Hood.”

    They’re picturing a Mr. Robot-like restructuring of the financial system, or even just eliminating debt like was proposed in Sneakers, or maybe just moving money around like that one episode of SeaQuest with Tim Russ.

    And to do that you need a lot of people to get code anywhere near production, and everything is audited, and the timelines are measured in quarters.

    And then you need to do it for the rest of the banks in the system. Mr Robot only worked because Ecorp was a monopoly.
