The forgotten ghost stories of the chain

Not every loss was a heist. Some were prices that stopped being true. Some were feeds wired to the wrong asset, liquidity that moved because somebody asked it to, exits dressed as protocols.

Those stories do not quite make the mark for Bubble Heist. A caper needs a thief, and some of these have none. So they are catalogued here instead, in the drear, where they belong. If a story can be told as a caper, it runs in the comic door. If it can only be told as a warning, it hangs here.

It feels heavy going in. It feels heavier coming out, because of the story. Better than it should be.
