Sounds awesome, what's the catch?

  You also get to run credit card fraud purchases through your home internet connection, such fun times we live in.

    So what's the catch? Has anyone ever been arrested for proxying a fraudulent credit card transaction?
    • dwedge 2mo ago
      Probably not. But do you really want the hassle of explaining the proxy to the police when they get a report of CSAM content uploaded from your IP?
      • mitxela 2mo ago
        Has that ever happened?
        • dwedge 2mo ago
          It's a possibility. I don't know about CSAM but I know someone who was arrested for death threats sent to a politician after running a tor exit node. Eventually not charged, but he lost all his computing equipment for a couple of months

              Has anything changed since 2009?

            > Eventually not charged Theres your answer.

              Considering the question was "has that every happened?" regarding the police getting a report and you having to explain the proxy to them, I guess you mean the answer is yes and your attitude is misplaced?
