When she gave the dollar amount she said that the destination was a bank account, but I don't recall any info on the source of the money.

I don't understand the technician's comment about a warranty form, since May's body is out of warranty.

I suspect it wouldn't have been one source.
In fact, I like to imagine it was something like the scheme from Office Space (taking fractional pennies from every transaction), just on a much larger scale (like, say, at a multinational institution). I imagine May being a fan of the movie.
St.Clair:
I believe the term for that kind of scam is literally "penny shaving" (which goes back to when pennies were worth something, and made of precious metal that got trimmed off) and also "salami slicing".

I'm not so convinced about the LCD physiognomy. When viewed in profile Beeps has a nose.

If I'm not mistaken, the contour seems to go along her cheeks and nose. Kind of like some styles of medieval helmet visors.

Might be as much euphemism as anything, based on his profession. But also he's used to dealing with warranties.
People without warranties, well he probably doesn't see them very often.
