Whenever I hear/read about AI/crypto/NFTs/other tech grifts, I'm reminded of this scene in The Naked Gun 2 1/2, and wonder...how likely/easy could something like this happen?
Scene from the naked gun 2 1/2 where the main character, in his panic to stop a massive bomb from detonating, troops over a wire... the woman with him sees that the bomb is now deactivated, and realizes the wire is actually an electrical cord and the guy essentially unplugged it.

Throwback to this most accurate of historical reproductions 😁
Gif from the musical number during the summer Olympics in Paris which shows a decapitated queen Marie-Antoinette, dress red as blood, singing the revolutionary chant "Ah ! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira, les aristocrates à la lanterne" which essentially means "Come on we'll make it, come on, let's go! The aristocrats to the lamppost!" where said aristocrats were to be hanged.

Gif from Disney's Robin Hood showing the sheriff of Nottingham (a wolf) stealing the coins from an injured person (a dog), straight from his leg cast, where the poor man/dog had hidden the money. Taxes from the poor to feed the rich, you see.
