    He seems a bit too jolly to be talking about such a disturbing topic.

    I’m surprised but also not surprised at the same time.

  31. @tim57243

    September 26, 2025 at 8:59 pm

    He is apparently using real names for two people when publishing information about bugs in a Mafia website. Seems like a bad idea.

    I seem to recall someone saying they ran such a website as a joke. All kill orders they received went straight to the police. I don’t know how the Bitcoin payments worked for the fake hits; I think accepting the money would be a legal problem.

      He did say that the metropolitan police didn’t pursue the case for reasons other than thinking he was crazy and it was a long story. 4:19

  53. @4447_rebouel

    September 27, 2025 at 6:20 pm

    I think he should have saved this story and gone into detail about the end in his point like a psychological angle and sociological standpoint. it took 20 mins to somewhat not even make a point at all, he basically just said hey look at this thing I helped do and you’ll never believe it but there’s kill lists out there guys and you will never guess where… the DARK NET. Likewhat is with this guy. Best to him tho.

  54. @seankelly1291

    September 27, 2025 at 6:27 pm

    Wait. You’re not doing this anymore?
    That doesn’t mean it isn’t still happening.
    That is, honestly, as creepy as anything else you’ve shared here.
