The gist is that there was a rash of\\ shutdowns that all could be explained as guilt by association, and we saw non-shutdowns where there was no clear association. (Yes, we\u2019re dealing with another obtuse MEAB post, sorry.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a natural dichotomy in miles and points where one side tugs toward sharing and scaling as a group, and another side pulls at isolation and keeping something in your own pocket. Of course sharing is key for scale and trust is paramount to sharing;  but when a bank can link you and someone else on the internet, you\u2019ve got a decent shot at becoming collateral damage when the ban-hammer drops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The takeaway? Isolate your financial transactions to maximize a play\u2019s longevity (to the extent that such a thing is possible), but trust and share details in your inner circle as long as a bank can&#8217;t link you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a nice weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-editorskit-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/plausible-1024x901.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7992\" width=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/plausible-1024x901.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/plausible-300x264.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/plausible-768x676.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/plausible-1536x1351.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/plausible-2048x1802.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/plausible-1320x1161.jpeg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:14px\">That&#8217;s one way to maintain plausible deniability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was an isolated group of shutdowns on a relatively lucrative play yesterday, the details don\u2019t matter much for the sake of today\u2019s post but<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7990"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7990\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7994,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7990\/revisions\/7994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/milesearnandburn.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
