There's still the issue of soil and water remediation in the affected areas. Is 3M going to do anything about that?

The STBs were part of a bonnet. There's a big difference between the NSA spying on you through your "smart" TV and your noname STB participating in a DDoS attack on a bank or hospital.

Dude none of us were there to oversee the tow. When was the last time you heard of anyone ripping off the entire front bumper and damaging the undercarriage during a normal tow operation of a little sedan? You'd have to go to some serious effort to fuck that up. That or you're towing a pile of rust. Hyundai's are/were notorious for body corrosion which would be the most probable culprit.
granted the tow never should have happened, but let's not pretend that we can blame the contracted tow company for that.

Depends on the chain. In the case of Ethereum, originally yes. Which is one of the reasons why Ethereum Classic forked off from the main chain. Blockchains like XRP not so much.
