So if I leave my window open while I'm out and there's some cash on my desk, visible from the street, then every passer by now has a custodial relationship with me? Your example of a malicious software update seems more akin to a theft like that (which is clearly not a custodial relationship) rather than a true custodial relationship. roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
