How do you feel about the recent case where a caretaker for a disabled person who was given permission and access to use the person's cards, banking app, etc ended up stealing from the person. The banks response - they had given the caretaker access so it was their fault.

Even if you have all the passwords and bioinformatics, passkeys, 2FA, etc - how can you prevent theft like this?

Just because the bank didn't reverse the transaction doesn't mean the disabled person can't sue the caretaker and doesn't mean a prosecutor can't charge the caretaker.

  • Doesn’t mean the victimized party is super unlikely to get their money back, and any they do get will be months or years after the fact
