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].

"...did you see the perp - yeah im right here"

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

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.

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).

A friend of mine attempted to iron a shirt they were wearing... Other than that they really are pretty damn intelligent.

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.

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.

> even putting "hacked accounts" up for sale isn't illegal

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?

That sounds like a someone calling the cops because the meth they bought was fake, which I've heard actually happens. LOL

Kinda, not really. PII data sales are legal, but I'd imagine putting fake info and selling it may be on that fuzzy line.

> It sounds like a psyop

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?

university of kentucky will admit anyone breathing with a pulse
