Yeah that’s objectively hilarious

Nah, this particular piece of shit has other motivations

He is also the director of a company specialising in home security installations.

I also can’t fathom being stupid enough to give the media this information

VCN… assures readers that every article is written by a “named human reporter”.

Over the phone, Mr Winder provided more detail on the VCN’s human reporters, saying he actually employed a roster of workers based in the Philippines who filed stories attributed to fictitious reporters with “Aussie names” listed on the website’s editorial team.

Is it a little irresponsible for vicpol not to retain that domain indefinitely, given they used to use it officially?

I do love this era where C-level execs have somehow become too stupid for PR training though. It’s easy to say that they can do what they want, but in this case, the crap theyve spewed is going to cause serious damage to their brand, ya love to see it.

I.e. delware’s rasion d’etre for decades anyway. A tax haven banana state with no identity beyond being the place people register businesses.

That does sound like a bit of a risk. Similar to how high frequency trading affects stability of shares and elevates risk of mass sell-offs - if these agents had enough use from the general public, they could easily impact the stability of a bank.

It’s either Monte Carlo or the pretzel shaped shortbread bickies they put in the sewing material tins
