I know Krebs is very respected in the industry, but it makes me feel uneasy having evidence presented in public outside of a court hearing, a la reddit & the boston bomber.
- tw04 3y agoReddit was actively coordinating going after the wrong person which is an entirely different beast. Krebs is acting as an investigative journalist - he even gave them the opportunity to respond. Your local news stations don't send reporters out to try to talk to local scammers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZdwwpzvqHA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZdwwpzvqHA
- JCharante 3y agoYou make a valid point and have changed my mind. Investigative journalists do do that. I guess I don't really see Krebs as a journalist so it feels "wrong" to me, but when you put it that way, if it was Anderson Cooper on live TV showing this proof it wouldn't feel "wrong".
