the main issue is that we lack a global '911'.
secondary is the effort asymmetry between spinning up one of these scams (near 0 effort) and catching/prosecuting these scams (big effort, astronomical cost)
- umpalumpaaa 4mo agoI don’t know but the us kidnaps ehhh arrests people on foreign land on a regular basis… and brings them to the US to stand trial. So if it’s “important” enough it will be aced upon…
- Diti 4mo ago> the main issue is that we lack a global '911'. 911 is for emergencies. I don’t think the global 911 service would give any attention to a LinkedIn scam.
- john_strinlai 4mo agoi used the same terminology as the parent, and i think we all know what is meant by it
- pocksuppet 4mo agowhat about the outcome asymmetry between spinning up one of these scams (get one guy's computer) and getting caught (jail for life)
- john_strinlai 4mo agoyou arent getting jail for life for this, even in the extremely remote chance you are caught. you are probably getting more than one guy's computer, though.
- Jolter 4mo agoI’m sure they’ve gotten more than one hot wallet from out of work crypto bros. Probably a profitable venture.

If you have a radio that screams on that channel, chances are the nearest search-and-rescue operation will at least be notified.
