What's really sad: 100 million were affected. If the layers take 30%,
that leaves about $1.05 (USD) for each account. I think that buys
about 3 days worth of credit monitoring on the open market. +1 to the
legislature, which accepts brides (err, PAC contributions) to make
sure the victims get victimized a second time.
