Excellent writing. The story, although real, has all elements to make a decent thriller movie.

  Was getting this vibe myself. Had to ask myself at the end of it -- and even during -- why is this not a movie.

    Well, the main character seems to be slightly bubbling in terms of keeping himself anonymous, having keep records and contacts with police, appropriately handling contacts with journalists, and the story only glances on the murder of Bryon that is touched on twice and never resolved in the slightest making me assume it’s tangentally related enough to add to the article title but that’s about all. I’m not sure “amateur security researcher” makes a good story. Look at the ethical question posed, some dude make upto millions on this scam, by taking money from bad people, he by far isn’t the worst person in the story. IDK. I see the real hero of the story here to be the two hackers that remained anonymous through the story, because they had the good sense to make that a priority.
