someone somewhere has learnedhow to intercept the command signals from the operator and is now selling the info to all and sundry on the other side of the divide, i.e. to the parties not aligned with the unhinged states of A/squatterrepublic and the nefarious plans this latter enemy of the world’s people have.
You could be right of course, but these things are so big, they are laughable.
US$15.9 million blasted. Lovely.
Bad streak of luck there.
Long may it last, John :)
