Or, the over/under on what date 'the streets' catch up to him, and unfortunately, he gets robbed/shot/murdered? If you're gonna flex like that online, someone is gonna come at you at some point.
TFA: > “Things may eventually catch up to Devon if he isn’t careful,” @Brainjuiceofficial observed, noting that Turner has been shot at before, and also robbed at an ATM while flexing a bunch of cash for a picture and wearing $500k in jewelry.
He's already been shot at. It's part of the thrill and street cred fantasy. There's almost definitely a bullet out there with his name on it already.
I used to live a little dangerously when I was young. At some point I realized that some people just don't give a fuck - jail, beatings or even death is not a deterrent for them, at all. To last in the streets, you either have to be one of those people, or bulletproof.
Why is "being reckless" positively correlated with "lasting"? If anything, it should be correlated with dying first, or being in prison for longer periods, so out of the streets.
Even being one of those people isn't a very good guarantee when it comes to avoiding impact from those you referred to that truly hold no value to their own life, or freedom.
Having spent significant time in jail, I was amazed at the high percentage of people with slugs stuck in them that had issues with the metal detectors. Pretty amazing how many people on "the streets" get shot and don't die from their injuries. I knew one guy with 9 holes in him[0].
[0] I wanted to say he is lucky, but looking him up in the IDOC database I don't think he is: CUSTODY DATE: 08/03/2013
SENTENCE: 60 Years 0 Months 0 Days
Krebs is a national treasure. If you ever read his book "SPAM NATION", you'd see how valuable he is. He stood up to Russian 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.
This is one of those invulnerable-feeling youth things I think. You could get the idea punchmade dev is hiding his face based on krebs images. But I just Binged punchmade dev and saw at least 20 pictures of his face.
I don't get it - isn't this just really stupid? Like putting a big target on his chest and saying to everyone (criminals as well as law enforcement) "Come and get me"?
It sounds like a psyop... The people who buy from him are the real targets and will be put on the lists. No way someone is this dumb, I don't believe it.
I do believe people are dumb enough to believe it, though, and will make purchases from him so they can obtain diamond chains as well.
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.
I had an uncle by marriage receive multiple inheritances totalling over 600k.
Each and every time he lost that inheritance - every penny - to the same guy.
After all that, he had eaten 0 bites of humble pie and still acted like the smartest guy in the room. Living in a trailer because he was too dumb to know when people were scamming him.
The scary thing? I have met even dumber people than him (although rarely as annoying).
Dumb? He's going to make money from the idiot wannabes who will buy his "valid" lists (which will likely turn out to be entirely composed of previously-leaked, long-blocked cards).
There is a lot of money to be made for people not afraid to look like an idiot.
I was thinking 'honeypot', too. It makes me think of scantily-clad, female undercover cops, walking the streets, looking to arrest johns for solicitation. Walking the streets, looking and talking sexy isn't illegal. But soliciting someone for sex is. So, not a lawyer, but I'm guessing that talking about online crime and even putting "hacked accounts" up for sale isn't illegal, but knowingly trying to purchase is.
You better believe, this guy is this dumb for real. The most amazing thing about it is this genius, top 1% human material, apparently went to university. Ain't it great to not have annoying things like SAT scores stopping our best and brightest to achieve their life goals?
I don’t see any new info from this article. I thought the author would buy one to see if it’s real and investigate a little deeper. Everything stated was already publicly available info.
I thought his song "long live heather" was okay in which he rapped about selling fentanyl-laced drugs to the homeless population https://youtu.be/e9pFGESCc6o
Can we do an over/under on what date this guy ends up in jail?
