They went off a tip sent in via email. They probably click those phishing links too. Not the brightest of folks hunting for criminals.
(and yet they still catch some, which is telling of the criminal). Fact is this happens all the time in the USA. It’s why I don’t stream any development of games or tech despite me creating.

I suppose this is in the same realm as what some people are trying to do with WASM, creating a common execution environment? This is built on RISC-V instead though. I wish I knew more about the limitations/capabilities of each approach, but in any case a future where applications are built for a common VM seems like something we've been building to for a while, the modern web being the closest we've come.

I did a brief comparison a while back, specifically WASM vs libriscv for. I decided to go with WASM, primarily because it was much more closely designed for this sort of thing, and it works in browsers. libriscv is really cool and impressive though.
libriscv looks amazing but its's much larger. It says "Less than 40kB total memory usage".
My first version (unpublished) of uvm32 was called uvm80 and emulated a Zilog Z80 CPU. My aim is to have a safe, embeddable sandbox for any device, rather than the best performance.
This looks like it has a smaller code footprint at least. I'm not sure RISC-V is a very good target for this sort of thing. E.g. decoding the immediates in software is going to be very slow, whereas in hardware it's fast.
But on the other hand it is a stable target and can be configured to be a lot simpler than WASM.
