Actually, I am reminded of an error that happened which was similar to this. After I left a past company, an engineer flubbed a validation which allowed a subtle bug to go undetected for 10 days which cost the company $500,000.

$50,000/day is an expensive lesson!

Was it abused? money stolen?

Hey Homakov, I'm a big fan of yours. :)

No, money wasn't being stolen, but the validation error meant that clients' money was being spent and not being tracked. The company had to eat the costs.
