This is one of the most unbelievable articles I've ever read.
If you didn't read it all the way through, do so over lunch or something; it's amazing.
The idea of "millions of dollars" worth of debt being traded for around on thumb drives, and that all those thumb drives really contain are excel spreadsheets is mind boggling. Those people in those spreadsheets are real people, and they're being completely duhumanized.
Also the fact that debt is being purchased for 1/12 of a penny is completely just...unbelievable.
Honestly this whole article reads like some dystopian nightmare. Shady former criminals trading peoples' lives around like it's nothing.
