Wow, it was released after just a year? This dealer is really aggressive. I bet with five times leverage, this guy coming out is going to cause trouble.

It will be out in a year? Data shows that this system can't be effectively defended against... But still, let's wait and see what happens next.

It will be out in just one year? This guy is really slick, I feel like the penalties are getting more and more lenient.

Laughing out loud, the hacker crouched for a year and then came out. What about the money lost by retail investors? Still stuck in a trap reciting poetry.

It only took a year to come out? This guy's luck is really amazing, going from five years directly down to one year.
