    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

    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.

The Controversial Climate Tool Funding Real Change | Sandeep Roy Choudhury | TED

If a company plants trees to offset its pollution, is that climate progress — or is it greenwashing? Critics of carbon markets say it’s the latter. But Sandeep Roy Choudhury, who’s spent two decades financing climate projects from rural cookstoves to coastal forests, says the real failure is discouraging companies from even trying. Hear his case for why we shouldn’t let perfection block meaningful action on climate change. (Recorded at TED Countdown Summit 2025 on June 17, 2025)
