4.9 billion euros, 7 billion dollars - not bad for a single man. Obviously the system has some security holes.

Some years ago we had a comparable case, I think it was a British broker, wasn't it? But it was not about as much money.

Have i ever mentioned that psychologically the human brain needs to trick and cheat in order to raise the illusion it could visually imagine numbers greater than some mid-20? Because in reality, it can't.
