Once did some programming/networking work for a company that did the networking of a office sharing building that Coinbase was running out of. Early in my work there I noticed that the company had its admin passwords written on a whiteboard -- visible from the hallway because they had glass for walls. So I sent them an email to ask that they remove it (I billed them for it).

Their fix was to put a piece of paper over the passwords.

What a time.

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

Bitcoin, and really fintech as a whole, are beyond reckless.

You say that but I work in fintech (granted, one of the larger more corporate ones, after an acquisition) and we are heavily regulated, and audited.

Wall Street is heavily regulated and audited, and still is 'beyond reckless', causing global financial calamities multiple times.
