Faulty software and people who don't operate it properly, this is going to cause a lot of problems in the coming years. I read another article about faulty Fujitsu auditing software in the UK that led to 400 postmasters being falsely accused of theft.
That shit was wild. It went on for so long and impacted so many people. At that point I have to think people were intentionally ignoring it. It ruined so many lives just to say "haha sorry, was a software glitch" when they could have investigated it at any point and definitely should have with the strange uptick in "embezzlement".
It was investigated. They opened an internal investigation and when it became obvious the investigator was going to blow it open, they cancelled the investigation 2 days before the report was going to come out.
Seriously, it's really looking like the entire board over several years should face jail time.
