I really only clicked on this because I had no idea how to parse that headline, and I'm glad I did.

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

mminer237 · 2 years ago
I would guess a year or so, just because it takes a long time for law enforcement to put a case together and bring it to trial.

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.

That's true, sounds like it's come close before.

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.

"Binged" like you binge-watched some videos? Or you mean you bung it on the Microsoft search engine?

Just bung it has a nice ring to it.

"I Bung it" is great. What about "Bing'd it"?
kikokikokiko · 2 years ago
He hid his face, but even then his tatoos were all visible. Anyone that really wanted to know who this dunce was would know in no time.

The correct term is “googled on Bing”

Maybe if you're an old head but kids these days say "bazinga'd"

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's a joke in the urban community that rappers rap about their crimes and confess to them, there are quite a few comedy sketches about it.

And even a great track by MF DOOM talking about exactly that[0].

It ended up pervading the culture deeply enough, we get elderly people on the news non-chalantly quoting it[1].

He sells an opsec package on his e-shop you know. It's fine, no one can get him.
whatamidoingyo · 2 years ago
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.

   > No way someone is this dumb
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.

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.

If you live a life that allows you to believe nobody is this dumb, I envy you. Don't leave your bubble and in fact, please send me directions.

You guys love that word.

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.

Apparently, the cybercrime rapper is terrible at opsec and is seemingly a dumbshit. I, for one, am shook.

Cant he just switch to ai or crypto as all modern criminals do? Lander ip or pump coins.

This won't end well for him. But at least he can sell the story rights to Netflix
