lol That's very kind of you but I'm really just a douchebag
I'm just a fucking loser, but this loser knows some REAL PROGRAMMERS in real life... notice I didn't say 'hackers'...
because none of them would ever be caught dead calling themselves "hackers"... they all consider it to be embarrassing, and according to them, it's only poseurs who use that term
nope... they simply refer to themselves as programmers...
they were running a little operation in Atlanta, creating fake bank accounts, and creating fake identities, and sending people into the banks to withdraw tens of thousands of dollars at a time
One of them is related to Sicilian organized crime through his family.. hint hint hint
through his family..... get it?
anyway.. they made a shitload of money, and one day they finally got busted by the FBI
I don't even remember how it was they ended up getting busted, but it wasn't their fault, it was actually one of the people who went into the bank with the fake identification and they got scared
anyway... All seven of them were arrested and charged with federal offenses
And while they were still in the holding cell at the former Atlanta pretrial detention center, FBI field agents came in and gave them an offer:
teach their cyber crimes forensics teams exactly how they did it, and they wouldn't pursue prosecution.
And that's exactly what my friends did
they ended up training some of the Atlanta field agent computer forensics analysts
100% true story. I still talk to those guys on a regular basis. One of them died a couple years ago. He went to California and suffered a massive heart attack pretty much as soon as he got off the airplane. weird story. He had a heart problem
But the rest of them are still really good friends of mine and THEY WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD CALLING THEMSELVES "HACKERS"
