As the other comment said, they should go after all their customers too. I can't believe they are thefts out there paying other thefts for theft-services...

Unrelated, but at the start of the year, a lot of Payoneer customers from Argentina lost their savings in the platform* due to someone having access to the OTP codes. Payoneer said it wasn't on their side the error, and evidence suggested that it was an error in Movistar, because all the victims were customers of that particular telco. As far as I know, Payoneer didn't return the money and Movistar was never charged or anything (rumours say it was a Movistar employee who sold SMS with the OTP).

And if you ask why a lot of Argentina people use Payoneer and keep their savings there, it's a bit long to explain but basically is their way to get paid in USD outside the country without paying taxes (fair and unfair ones) and without getting their payments converted automatically to ARS pesos using a bad rate.
