SCP-10002: T.J.H.B

The John Hancock Bankruptcy Item #: SCP-10002 Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures Due to its non-physical and widespread nature, absolute containment of SCP-10002 is currently impossible. Containment efforts are focused on mitigation, monitoring, and financial stabilization. Foundation-operated web crawlers (Algorithm "BOUNCED_CHECK") are permanently deployed within the global banking network, auditing software, and digital notary systems to flag instances of unexplained, massive asset transfers initiated by manual signatures. When an instance of SCP-10002 is confirmed: Affected financial institutions are issued a standard Class-E "Data Corruption" cover story. The transaction is flagged as fraudulent, reversed via Foundation shell banking routes, and the funds are returned to the victim. Class-A or B amnestics are administered to civilians who become aware of the anomaly's specific nature. Description SCP-10002 is an anomalous informational phenomenon that manifests globally during the physical act of signing a legally binding or financially transactional document. The anomaly does not possess a physical form and cannot be contained by traditional hardware; it instead attaches itself to the conceptual intent of a human signature. The anomaly triggers entirely at random, affecting approximately 0.0003% of all handwritten signatures executed daily worldwide. For SCP-10002 to manifest, the following conditions must be met: A human subject must be physically writing their unique signature using a stylus or ink pen. The document must possess some form of transactional authority (e.g., checks, loan applications, digital signing pads, credit card receipts, or property deeds). Upon completion of the final stroke of the signature, the text on the document—or the digital metadata of the transaction—is instantly and retroactively altered. The designated monetary value or asset transfer amount is rewritten to equal exactly 100% of the signer's curr
