I brought it up because without remembering the name from that exchange a year ago, the similarly casual misunderstanding-proffered-as-fact in the post here led me to guess it would be the same person, and it was. Which is just to say that I suspect you have the details wrong in this case, too. That's all.

Fair enough, I guess. People got hung up on the details of the bot and big numbers, which in retrospect, is to be expected here. I was just trying to point out that you stand to lose a shit ton of money when doing a side-project that touches money. Bugs can really bite you in the ass in a very tangible way. The bot details are interesting, I'm not hiding anything there -- at first I was a bit cagey with the algorithm, but that was mostly because I couldn't even remember what branch in what repo it was hiding in. Then I found it, and was able to read the code.
