It is still a tv show guys, gotta give it some slack and use some imagination. In Mr. Robots world, a company like that exists. That's the point  |
This is the part that bugs me. Especially in Fight club
There`s a misconception that Visa or MasterCard holds records of people`s debts and manages each creditcard out there with their logo on it. The issuing bank like MBNA or Capital one controls and manages their own credit card portfolio. Visa and MasterCard are merely allowing the bank and each credit card holder to access its network so they can complete transactions
So in fight club, when they blew up Visa or MasterCard`s headquarters, all they`ve really done is make it inconvenient for people to use their cards and maybe prevented settlement for a day or two. People would still have their credit card debt with the issuing bank
but then again you`re right... this is not a fact in the TV Movie world
