| IANAL, but isn't it kind of a weird Catch-22, where if
| weren't illegal, it could be prosecuted as some sort of
| fraud?

| If you ever find yourself thinking this, you are definitely
| always wrong. The world is a very big place with lots of
| people in it and some of them really are incredibly dumb.
| Example?
|
| I met (IRL) a guy who managed to drill a hole in his own
| stomach while trying to put up a bookshelf[1].
|
| No matter how outlandish and ostentatiously ridiculous
| something seems to be I _guarantee_ there is someone out
| there who is dumb enough.
|
| [1] He didn't tell me how he had got the injury himself, his
| wife and my aunt told me, and they had (respectively) been
| there when he did it and taken him to hospital.

| Krebs is a national treasure. If you ever read his book "SPAM

| cybercrime in the 00s who even tried to threaten his life. He got
| bulletproof hosters taken-down again and again. These hosters
| were hosting phrama scams, spam, malware, CP, you name it. He
| consistently works in the interest of the public good, even when
| it's hard.
|
| Brian works hard for his money, unlike upstart cybercrime
| braggarts like the guy he's exposing. I'm so happy people like
| Brian exist, people like him have the motivation and time to
| investigate hubris-laden morons like Devon Turner.

| Can we do an over/under on what date this guy ends up in jail?

|
| He's already been shot at. It's part of the thrill and street
