9. The Wabbit and the Bitcoin Machine
The Wabbit changed the plan and with a smile on his face, he and Lapinette made their way to the Bitcoin machine in the supermarket car park. The Wabbit noticed the machine some time ago but he'd never seen anyone use it. He wanted to change all that. Leaving Wabsworth and Hardhack in charge of the rest he pursued a plan of his own. Lapinette ran her fingers across the touchpad. A spectral message flashed on the screen. "They've taken the bait!" she was delighted. "OK Wabbit, these are the Dinosaur Fund's electronic assets." The Wabbit grinned. "They're bait. Just wait." Lapinette frowned. She scanned the touchpad again. Bitcoins came tumbling from the machine. "How did that happen?" The Wabbit smirked. "Magic. Grab them." He produced a magic wand and waved it for effect. Lapinette grabbed the coins and tucked them under her skirt. "Now we have the laundered funds. Or the originals. Or our extremely fungible tokens. Or do we?" He smirked again. "Wabsworth devised a little plan of our own to bolster the Dinosaur Fund." Lapinette looked doubtful. "But where are the Spectres?" "All in good time," replied the Wabbit, "Well, they're attached to the Bitcoins under your frock." Lapinette looked appalled "Eeeek," she yelled. "Along with the breadcrumbs," added the Wabbit. "Yuk," shouted Lapinette. "Do you want to detach them here or somewhere else?" The Wabbit smirked with the annoying smirk that Lapinette hated. She yelled! "Here, now now now!" The Wabbit waved his wand. "It'll all come out in the wash ..."
