I wish I could watch a Ocean's Eleven-style movie about this heist.

But maybe it wouldn't be that exciting to see some guys sitting at a desk.

Let me introduce you to the TV show Industry which takes you into the world of London high finance where tense phone calls, compliance violations and financial crimes are the order of the day [1]

Industry is more soft porn than a show about heists

Did you tell Rick and Morty this

tried to watch the latest season, was put off by this and gave up.

Not sure why they do this, anyone has an idea? Like, the Internet is just there, I can go and watch porn whenever I like. If I am watching your show, it's because I am interested in something that is not porn. Also, if your show has a lot of these scenes, I can't watch in many places (ie: cafe, plane, with other people, etc..)

It's HBO. They are known for this. But they definitely went too far with Industry in my opinion.

The sex and drug scenes are much more toned down in the latter two seasons. Part of the reason why is the cast had more leverage and strong armed the writers / directors.

Great show but definitely would be better with 90% of the sex / drug scenes removed.

I am not uncertain.

It's a horribly inaccurate show too

This is like medical series about ER, in real life it doesn't happen. In real life nobody cares, things slip trough, people die, finally someone receives a huge bill.

More like "Steal"[1] with Sophie Turner.

I imagine it would look like a bunch of North Korean guys (probably not starving like their countrymen, but probably not looking great either) sitting in something like a cross between a NK state prison and an American office.

So yeah, really not exciting ... just sad.

It could be a "Severance" type of show

That sounds like it could be pretty exciting.

Maybe they are looking great though, crisp uniforms absolutely dripping with medals.

Wake up comrade, new model just dropped!

Much more likely to resemble the latter office environment.

They're not in NK, though their family is.

I'm thinking more like:

Now you make me want a North Korean version of The Office

Not sure if I want it written and developed by North Korea or its enemies…

Maybe similarly cringe as the Russian cartoon movie about the first dogs in space. I think it was called Space Dogs.

They clicked the "pi" symbol on the Binance homepage [1].

You might enjoy the BBC podcast cyberhack, about another very elaborate financial hacking operation: https://www.bbc.com/audio/series/w27vqd03

There's a very good BBC podcast about the north Korean and Russian hacking teams by BBC, one in Lazarus and one on evil Corp or something. Shoudnlt be hard to search for if interested.

But what if they’re getting a blowjob while they’re sitting at their desk?

That was the solution that the movie Swordfish came up with to solve this tricky problem.

If it's dumb and it works, then it's not dumb.

True, but it depends on what you mean by “works”.

Plenty to film/story to tell - Binance team freaking about the operation, the users who find out funds are gone, and the thieves living it up on the stolen money.

I felt the same way about the Ledger wallet heist. The amount of planning that must have gone into that is insane.

AI removed the fun even to this.
