And he has been and continues to make fun of the investigators, publicly mocking investigators and sending small amounts from the fraudulent wallets to investigators.

Crazy world


If he "invests" some of his funds ... could get a pardon.


Tbf, accepting a pardon is legally admitting guilt per SCOTUS and disgorgement would allow the funds to be sized


Dr. Fauchi pardon comes to mind. I doubt that his accepting of pardon was an admission of guilt. He wasn't even charged, so how can he admit the guilt?

And i think that similar preemptive pardon here, without charge and thus any guilt admission, wouldn't allow the fund seizure.

Oh thats crazy about Fauzi lying under oath! Do you have a link in case I need to back this up


In theory. Do you really think that would happen in the current ecosystem?


Even "better", Trump can extort more ...


The one thing the government will not tolerate is embarrassment. There's no way he avoids a long prison sentence.


He’s reaping what he saw. Things aren’t looking good for him nor his father, a lesson both of them will painfully learn from. Father career is possibly over.


> Things aren’t looking good for him nor his father, a lesson both of them will painfully learn from

You’re a hell of an optimist.

I’d say that it’s just as likely that the pardon sharpie is being readied, just as soon as the super PAC donation clears.


Put it into Trump's coin as a donation


Trump already rug pulled


Bribes are $3M cash. He's good.


why would that make a difference


X can't bribe Y by buying Z that Y has no interest in.


> Father career is possibly over.

Plenty of people would happily flush their career down the drain to run away with their family and $90M


I guess so but what about when you get caught and get nothing?


Just like many people are optimists in thinking criminals will get consequences, criminals are often optimists in thinking they won’t get consequences.

Both have cherry-picked their life experiences to support this view.


if you get caught. just saw a video on a couple who stole a Brinks armor car; disappeared into Europe with new identities; never caught until female turned herself in. Not everybody gets caught.


Is that same or different from the gang who robbed an armored car for about $100M worth of goods, and ICE stopped the prosecution and deported one of the robbers, before the stolen goods were recovered?



Sure, if you get caught. It's a huge risk though..

Pretty sure they'll both be fine as long as they still have access to that money.


the feds haven't even acknowledged there was a theft. it's possible they still don't know or somehow don't have the evidence to bring charges


Or this is a false accusation.

I don't have the knowledge to sanity check the claims, but I would've figured someone would be getting rolled by now. I recall that the dad was scrubbing socials along with the son, but that could be token harassment.


They did something, how else could the son flex watches worth 6 figures.


Likely? Yes.

Watches? You can also be right. Though, I don't think you need $90 million to spend <$1 million on a watch to splurge.


You can rent anything.


The feds won't say anything until after they arrest the father and son. Obviously there is an investigation going on but it takes more than a few days.


He and his son should be in jail. This is criminal; whether it's theft or criminal negligence.


Was thinking about this the entire time, not sure why they’re saying it has to be govt sponsored threat actors for a bunch of SIM cards

Didn’t understand how it’d be used for espionage either, doesn’t even make sense


You could run wireguard thru CLI directly instead of jumping through the mullvad app itself


Doesn’t look good on mobile, difficult to use


can you share your os/browser?


Cross checked known malicious mail list with applicants, found a match and made a blog about it lol


Are the typos on purpose for opsec reasons?


No, im just a terrible writer.


This has probably been happening since the beginning of modern media.

The only reason this is an article is because of “AI” and Russia VS The US


This isn’t fair to say.

Any platform that’s popular will have its share of undesirable users, out of the company’s control.

Discord has very good moderation in contrast to other platforms (Constant banwaves on illegal/shady servers, terminating accounts frequently, etc)


Haven't heard of any other platforms that use cartoons in the UI, actively associate with kids hobbies, and also make it one click to join active pedo grooming communities.

"very good moderation" makes me believe you work for them because that is a laughable notion.

I would bet that Big Balls swatting/SIM swapping/ddos community "the comm" still has dozens of discords that have been up for years


Any social app with one click to join communities (all of them) will fall under this.

And how out of touch with teenagers are you that you think cartoons in the UI (whatever that means) are why they use it. What is a kids hobby? Gaming? You cannot call that a kids hobby.


Nah Facebook doesn't have swatting and pedo communities.


Source?


As they should. You can’t throw an ultimatum for something that benefits nobody but the govt. and kick everyone around.

Would like to see other companies who were affected by similar situations also take this to court


How well it’ll do in court is debatable, could go for either side, but regardless of the outcome it’s always good to see resistance and pushback


Apple will lose, because the government didn't break any law.


I don't know what they are arguing in this case, but there is a chance that the government violated the US-UK Bilateral Data Access Agreement 2019, which governs data access requests from either country's government to technology companies based in the other country.


If the British government insists on this applying to non-british citizens in other jurisdictions, they are likely to be in conflict with privacy laws in those countries and that will trigger an international court case.


Absolutely mental the kind of people that have power. Dealing with this like immature children.

“We don’t get what we want? We ruin it for everyone.”

Trying to backdoor a privacy feature for no real reason, just for the sake of having a backdoor. Pathetic
