Well I never said someone modified the bridge and gave him a bad copy, I'll be the first to admit that I didn't look at the code. What I'm saying is that there is a possibility that there is a weakness in the code, and yes, even with a thousand eyes it can be overlooked because someone can look at something at a totally new angle, think along the lines of Fulton and the steam engine the parts had been around for almost two thousand years, but he was the one smart enough to put them together. Basically what I am saying, do not discount something until it can absolutely disproven. I mean I can come up with another explanation that is just as scary and just as plausible. LL's authentication server was hacked and before the intruder got cut-off Beowul's main was one multiple accounts that was taken over, then the first time it was logged in by the hacker, a modified bridge was placed in the inventory. I am not saying it is true, I'm saying that is in the realm of possibility.

Personally I'm getting a kick out of people that say it can't be the code, it just can't be the code. Sounds like the same people that had their head in the sand when Microsfot announced that their previously unhackable IE had hackable flaws, the same goes for .NET and tons of other supposedly "safe" programs. Just because you can't see the way the code can be exploited does not mean it can't be exploited. As far as PayPal is concerned, they don't tell victims about where the money went to. They will work with law enforcement as necessary, but they don't want to create an issue where someone is putting their life in harms way over some money.
