Plausible reasons for petty theft while the actual handoff of whatever was given to the Russians or whoever paid for the USB payload of data sewed inside it goes unknown. She gets to claim it must have been hacked when her purse was stolen, the thieves get out data or crypto keys or access or etc. and she has a big crypto wallet with her name on it waiting for when she exits government...if she does.

The only way many of them are exiting govt at this point, if history is any spoiler, is in a black bag. (IMHO, highly likely considering these mouth-breathin' human-centipede-hopefuls keep cribbing to fill their McKampf playbook.) Of course, if they stick around long enough, history also indicates possible recruitment by Disney, Ford, Coca-Cola, NASA, et al. 😐🤷🏼‍♂️

Who just carries around $3000?

I'll give you a hint: the type of backbirth that carries their Sec ID in their fucking purse.

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Actual question: Why wouldn't you carry your ID, security or otherwise, in your purse?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Kindly, did you read the article?

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So? Her purse got stolen. You could put the id in any container, backpack, etc, and have it stolen too. What's your logic here?

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They generally come on lanyards, badges, etc., to specifically prohibit that Kev feel of hurdur idiocy, citizen. 😐

You wear your work lanyard to dinner? WTF is wrong with you people. There's plenty of reason to hate these assholes, we don't have to invent random crap out of thin air. 'They're a horrible person because they keep their security badge in their purse.' Jesus.

If you're gonna make up quotes to the same person you're alleging they came from, you might as well get the gist right, FFS.

'They're a horrible person and they keep their security badge in their purse.'

Also, "you people"? Really? How young aren't you? Jog on, Methuselah. I don't feed trolls after it's no longer amusing, and low-effort blurts like these smell less of engineered interaction and just simple piss. Bye, Felisha.

People that commit insurance fraud.
