So my Coins are unknown, but my other asset holdings are known (well, as known as they were before the transaction, which is not very much, but...) I argue that both the deposits and withdraws may have failed due to lack of specificity, due to CFJ 1307 now that actions must be specified, hence my CFJ on whether parameters count as part of the action. If they do, then a lot more than my transaction is in question. I note that if BobTHJ had fulfilled eir contract-defined duties on time, ehird would have been able to easily figure this out.
