-snip- Now the question is was it an honest mistake or was someone planning to run with the BTC.
Setting wrong the slider into 2 of 3 could happen in most cases
but during the steps of pasting the cosigners,
I doubt that they wont notice that it'll only require two additional cosigners while making a "
M of 4" MultiSig wallet.
Moreover, the chance that all four cosigners happen to wrongly set the sliders into 2 of 3 is way too slim,
it it's only one cosigner, then the addresses he'll get will be different from the rest of the cosigners.
I'd say that the wallet wasn't created by accident.
They have, at least according to the internal "memos" re-done the wallet every 6 months for a few years now.
Having said that, they are also real sloppy with other procedures, having done work with them on the internal network side it is within the realm of possibility that:
1) They had a discussion during the covid lockdowns and decided to go with 2 of 3 and never noted it in the guide.
2) One of the older partners was leaving did he force it on people (probably more of a 1a then number 2) and it was never noted.
3) They screwed up on re-creation back in January and said "meh, lets just go with this"
4) Actual malice, remember now you have 2 people who are conspiring
5)
We are not taking tons of money here, but you never know.
