watched the full vid 10/10 bro
LOL SIM SWAPPING DOESNT REQUIRE SKILL
Good documentary on my old friends free them all
We’ll done bro! Loved the video bro, very interesting story in a great format
Turbo losers….. God I hate turbos….. Lost my name Blunt because of losers who do this
Love that you're keeping up with the non-rs content dude, breaking through that transition barrier is tough. S+ video 😎
I remember reading about the selena hack on HF as it happened… shit was wild
he definitely wouldve gave us the ps4 emulator so we can get on bloodborne pc
Honestly, we would call this awesome if they were movie characters. I have mad respect for their smarts. When I was 18 I was picking my nose in my room, not hacking billions. Are they assholes for this? Yes 100% but I still respect their incredible talent and hacking prowess
Thank you for the excellent financial information! Helped me a ton with my investment portfolio!
i really enjoyed this one Crumb, good shit
Well said good documentation
People work their whole lives away for a fraction of that money. Kid got off easy
I used to host CLs lmao… I remember Geohot dropped the PS3 FTP server signed with Sony keys on my birthday I literally screamed and woke up the house 😂
sorry but like does someone actually have all their money in bitcoin ?
if you steal over 1m it should be equal to murder, this goes for big companies too
You really grab my attention. Congratulations for amazing work.
Kid deserved 15+ for sure
Dude sounds like he kept the money. Out of all his loser friends it seemed they all paid most of it back.
such a good video bro keep it up
Homeboy stole 22 million and only gets 18 months? Even if he doesnt have a dollar of that left his experience having all that money and spending it alone is worth 18 months.
Sick vid man
