How about money in the financial system. What would happen if someone makes a mistake, and something causes bond payments to fail?

It is an outside risk, but based on the reporting it seems like they are digging into code of large complex financial systems...

How much do you trust 1 guy to not make _any_ mistakes.

Maybe this is wrong and they are only looking at read only access of the payment system, but it seems sketchy that this is even a risk.
