Apple should be liable for this.

If Walmart sells a dangerous product, even unknowingly, they can be liable. Why are digital stores different?

If apple were liable for this you could do a double dip where you use your own fake app to "steal" money from a massive wallet you own and get apple to pay you back for "your loss". In addition to your other ill gotten gains.

So are they infallible (preventing the headline and refuting your argument), or is there a point in time when some users know better than Apple, when their developer review does as much harm as good, and the Apple App Store is not the safe haven Apple likes to publically claim?
