Ok. So we've got Alice and Bob trading their cash back and forth, with
Mallet trying to steal their cyber-dosh, and Eve listening to their
conversations- this leads me to the big question:
What's the right name to use for the Banker? I've been using "Nick",
after Nick Leeson; any other suggestions?
