none of these chumps are thinking coherently about what security looks like in a society where your money isn't worth anything
Was it spez who had the idea "what if the security guards have to wear bomb collars linked to a fail-deadly dead-man's switch, to keep them in line?" At least some of them are thinking of cartoonish ways to do it, and I'm sure some of them are quietly thinking about more realistic setting-oneself-up-as-a-warlord fantasies.
a real criminal, not some bloodless nerd, is gonna roll these guys so fast
I think only Bezos has what it takes for warlordism

These idiots are tech engineers first and foremost. They don't have the political knowledge nor do they have the financial knowledge to grasp power.
The finance bougs are more likely to set themselves up as feudal lords. These idiots will try and Saw their way through things with no understanding that this will only temporarily work until someone finds a gap in the system they've engineered and offs them.
