The-Fury bought 64 x Donator Pack from your bazaar for $1,540,736,000. 18:46:33 15/07/20
Someone mugged you and stole $128,035,161 [view] 18:46:36 15/07/20
At the time, I was about halfway through my med bag hospital time.
I decided to med out and before i even managed to close my bazaar, someone mugged me.
Its a HUGE COINCIDENCE for someone to incidentally buy 64x DPs + mug at precisely the time I decide to med out of the hospital after suffering from an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction.
The matter was reported to staff and they responded as:
"We'll do some additional checks but at this time I cannot identify as illegal, people keenly watch for this too."
So they bought from you, most likely had your profile page open on another tab, you got out of the hospital right after buying, they most likely noticed your status to change on your profile and decided to mug you?
The difference in buying and mugging is 3 seconds, which is normal when you buy something and immediately check their profile to see if they can be attacked.
If he was relying on DoctorN, it would have alerted him 30 seconds after my status changed to 'ok' i.e
That's not how it works.
Yes there is a cache of 30 seconds in place. Which means that if you make same API call multiple times, with time difference in 2 successive calls being less than 30 seconds then it will return the data it sent in previous call.
After you med out, API should have delay of 3-4 seconds at max and the delay on DoctorN will depend upon when he made the previous call. Let's just say one call was made 20 seconds before you med out and next one was done 10 after you med out, he would have gotten the notification. But that is considering that he wasn't manually sitting on your profile and using Stakeout. Many people just sit on profile rather than using API.
And if you were still active while in the hosp he knew you would probably med out soon. Next time go inactive for 10, 20 or 30 minutes and log back to med out immediately. Not sure muggers would stalk someone outline.
Exactly this, he would have seen you active in hosp and spammed that refresh.
As for buying and mugging within 5seconds that’s standard for a buy mug. Especially when he probably one hit you meaning the attack was only 1second long.
I feel like this could all be avoided starting a ghost trade before leaving hospital... protect your money better. Even if he had a script the same could be achieved with multiple tabs open with the buy queued to 64 dps all they would have to do is click ok then start attack. Very possible in 5 seconds.

Muggers are fast. The competition in mugging business is so tight that people spam refresh on profiles, have someone else ready on the attack page and do the buying and mugging. I am not surprised that this can be so instantaneous.
I will pass this up to Joshua for checking for your peace of mind. Thanks..!!
