    its an sql injection attack.
    its rather unlikely that it works in a modern app.

    assuming this would work,
    it injects a command in the sql database.

    it is assumed that the app runs a sql querry with the input field as a parameter e.g.
    INSERT INTO "bills" (item, ammount, tip) VALUES ("steak", "20,00 $", "content of the custom tip goes here");

    the semicolon indicates the end of the querry,
    so the the text would cause the app to run an unfinished querry, and then start a new querry that messes up the content of the bills table.


  • dont celebrate to early,
    he has a stake of about 78 million shares,
    which is still about 3.7 billion usd at the current price (48.66)

    i dont remember exactly how much he was ordered to pay, i was under the impression it was about 500 mil. (correct me if im wrong there.)

    if he doesnt manage to weasel his way out of paying that, this would unfortunately still be enough to cover his ass.

    unless the stock drops under 6.4 usd,
    which hasnt happend so far,
    (lowest i found was 12.4 so far.)

    EDIT: just read that the fine was lowered to about 250 mil.
    weaseling his tangerine ass out of paying his bills seems to be the singular life skill this guy has.
