Just feels like further incentive, to be honest

Once I sent a payment to a friend with a note like “drugs and guns” as a joke and it was delayed for like, two days.

Who tf is out there with zero opsec just using the banking system and straight up putting illegal stuff in the note field? So stupid.

I knew a kid in college who got drugs delivered straight to the dorm mailroom, so people can really be surprisingly brazen..

I mean, depending on the drugs, this is not the worst idea. Sending acid tabs seems pretty concealable, and the spores of psychedelic mushrooms are not illegal to purchase. You could probably even send pills, if you put them in a hard candy/breath mint container as part of a larger and innocuous care package.

Like, it’s definitely better not to risk it, but this could be done in a discreet manner. I’m guessing he got poorly sealed and smelly weed though.

Mate you’d be surprised.

I knew a guy in the Police who said that Facebook was a gift because people are dumb.

One guy posted publicly a photo with a couple kg of weed and flashing a pistol acting like a badman. The local police account commented under the post saying they’d like a word, guy responded “what you gonna do, arrest me?”, I think you can work out what happened next.

One thing I’ve learned from parenting a teen is that if you suspect your child is doing something really stupid, there is a very good chance that there is photo or video evidence of it.

Lot of kids out there under age drinking and taking videos of their shenanigans. Dumbasses.

Their brains aren’t fully developed. What do you expect?

Now, adults on the other hand…

I’m convinced that some people’s brains never fully develop.
I can’t remember if it’s pseudoscience or actually validated (we’ll assume pseudo), but I’ve come across it many times: there’s a running commentary in psychological development that only 33% of humans ever reach mental maturity, true adulthood. The vast majority land at adolescence ans stay there, with some never getting much past 12. To me, this has been the single greatest explanation of why ppl behave the way they do, somewhat comforting at least

Oh look I’m the 67%

Though mostly it’s just my sense of humor that belongs to a 12 year old.

Yeah we did that, but at least it took us six months or so too get the photos developed…
The Trump Administration

Epstein used fucking Gmail.

Think of the average dumbest use case and realize there’s someone dumber still.

I think that’s a little different though, Epstein had blackmail material on basically everyone in power, he was basically legally untouchable, he had mutually assured pedophillic destruction. That’s why they had to assassinate him.

Your broader point is correct though of course, no argument there.

Big banks probably have a more automated system but in small banks, there’s a good chance someone at the OPS center is literally scrolling through all the online transfers on a given day. Mostly to screen for potential fraud but I’m sure stuff like this raises a few eyebrows.

Matt Gaetz literally used his public venmo to pay underage prostitutes. 

People are fucking stupid. 

People who use public Venmo are stupid, prostitution aside. What an artifact of the “anything and everything should be social media somehow” era
