10. WTF Are You Talking About?

No audit EVER looks at 100% of anything. You take a sample of transactions, that's how ALL audits work.

[Arkana]

11. As someone who actually did security audits for a while,

you're talking out of your ass. No audit procedure EVER checks every transaction.

[Celebration]

12. but this one EXEMPTS transactions

It is really, really limited in scope.

[PassingFair]

13. My ass wants to know what kind of audit....

only looks at shit they WANT you to look at.

Cause that's what we're gonna get with this.
