![However, the brothers' Google search history in the weeks after the theft for phrases including "how to wash crypto”, “top crypto lawyers”, “wire fraud statute / wire fraud statue [sic] of limitations”, and “prison or jail worse” suggest that perhaps the brothers had some clue that their actions could be interpreted criminally, as do the brothers' own descriptions of their plan as “sus”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:exrxvyu6bpoym6mbnctke5tn/bafkreicpwu5pjoddgp2ovmaka2kfu6d6uc7uijrld5a4hovz5qpaqlkk5u@jpeg)

When #LocoRoco came out (nearly 20 yrs ago?!) *all* game stores in Japan had the song on loop, and #PlayStation kindly sent some developers the audio CD. 73 minutes of the 7 variants, looping. Maddeningly joyful. It is treasure.
Anyway, just found it on youtube.

Good luck to the rest of the human population who has zero reach to ask to be removed or to be feed in manually by anyone to do god knows what. un consenting porn is a massive use of ai and should be addressed at a governmental level.
