What happens on the card

A raccoon in a hoodie sits on the floor at his laptop, a cable running up to the hot wallet of COINVAULT (an invented exchange), its balance in huge mint digits: $5.60B. Hold anywhere to drain, coins streaming down the cable into the loot bag, and let go when the SAFU bear, the exchange's security mascot, charges his scanner: a green sweep across the screen. Draining while it passes is TRACED!, a heat pip and $150M back up the cable; sitting still is UNDETECTED, and the drain comes back faster. Every billion, a whale alert. When the balance hits $0.00 the bag bursts in a rain of gold coins and the raccoon lands head first in a birthday cake of stacked coins; busted three times, the bear pulls the cake out from behind his back anyway. The score reads what was drained, with their name and age.
