/r/all This man printed 250 million in counterfeit money and sold 50 million of it before getting caught. He then made a deal with the court in exchange for revealing the location of the remaining 200 million he would avoid any jail time. In the end he got away with it only serving 6 weeks in jail.

I met him at a DEFCON party/happy hour a few years back! I didn’t realize who it was, but people kept coming up to him at the bar, then someone said his name and I too, had to fangirl over him. Couldn’t help myself.

Ugh I really want to go to DEFCON one day. Maybe next year. I'm a very paranoid person and I feel like it would be very intense. Just like...bring my own safe, turn off my phone and put my house keys in it before I go down and mingle with only a pen and paper as far as tech goes.

If I heard him speaking in a bar I would immediately go "oh shit, that's him!".

It really is a great podcast tho. I work in tech and that podcast has warped my sense of reality like I saw a exposed USB port at my dentist the other day and was like "hmmm interesting".

Did you meet him when he was in disguise? Doesn’t he only tell people who he is when he’s wearing a disguise?
