The US Treasury Claimed DOGE Technologist Didn’t Have ‘Write Access’ When He Actually Did
Sources tell WIRED that the ability of DOGE’s Marko Elez to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded days after US Treasury and White House officials said it didn’t exist.
Pretty sure even having unauthorized read-access is multiple felonies with lifetime sentences
Yeah, but what's a felony or two if you're at the highest levels of the government. In this group, thats a bonus qualification for the job.
It's the Robin Hood anarchist's dream to have the ability to overwrite the debts of the masses. Instead, the Capitalist Billionaire Sheriff of Nottingham gave it to his sniveling deputy to do with it whatever he saw fit. Bets on if what he saw fit was an unethical cash grab, an evil boon to the wealthy ruling class, or just a junior dev without oversight or review deploying to production with the finances of the wealthiest nation in the world at stake? WHAT COULD GO WRONG!?
I'd imagine services like these have backups with fairly high levels of resiliency. Just having write access isn't sufficient. You'd probably have to physically go to the off site backup premises.
Even then, you might need a court order to seize equipment.
Any deletion or overwriting of the records is likely temporary, and reliant on the continued coup attempt.
It's fine, that's what pardons are for.
The interesting thing is that a person is liable as a person when they are doing their jobs. Let’s say I’m a sysadmin and I make a mistake with HIPAA data, that’s on me then. I’ll go to jail, not my boss who told me to do it. I don’t see how these clowns are above that or aware of this.
You know they are all going to be pardoned. The pardon system needs to go.
Yup. The hypocrites who bitched about Biden pardoning his family in advance to prevent Trump's wrath will claim innocence over this shit.
Man, I hope they gave him access to a fake test server and told him it was real.
