But does that fix the problem or just slow it down a bit?

If you can deepfake one guy with the checkbook, can’t you deepfake the guy with the checkbook and the guy who enters the POs into the system? Lower odds, but far from zero.

Just like the locks on your door or safe. Doesn't "fix" the problem of theft, but slows them down quite a bit.
