Does he really think $500M would significantly change a city? As if the city would get any part of it, or that Dubai is something to desire…

Well, yeah, because they initiated the code to verify it was you who called them. Better than them asking your “security questions” or such. It’s a completely different situation if you got an incoming call who asks for that.

There’s nothing illegal about downloading streams, but if the purpose of your downloads is to get fraudulent royalties, then of course it’s illegal as wire fraud under 18 U.S.C. § 1343.

The tin-foil in me says it’s just a tactic to get people to switch to Windows 11. “Oh, I have errors with my updates? I should really try upgrading and see if that fixes it, I don’t want any hackers to steal my megabytes…”

Why should wire fraud give such a harsh punishment?
