> Everyone gets caught in the end. How would you know if they didn't?

  I have a large sample size of the people I worked with over 8 years. Seriously, everyone went down eventually.

    Would be an interesting book (for your copious free time.)

      Yeah I've thought about it a few times. Maybe when I finish my current commitment, I'll think about it more seriously. Some of the people involved went on to be very famous for their crimes.

    Your username of 'one time only', is that a reflection on the proper use of an OTP? Is there a story there about a mistake? Just curious. =)

      Well you know, we all make mistakes. There is nobody who likes to be woken by a dawn-raid! Old-school hackers still like proper handles rather than random strings for usernames, even for one time posts. The devil is in the details.

  They don't, it's the toupée fallacy http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Toupee_fallacy http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Toupee_fallacy

    It's not the toupee fallacy - in this case I started with a large sample of fraudsters in my circle and know the outcome for all of them.
    • driverdan 13y ago
      You know a small subsample of the total number of people committing fraud. I'm a former blackhat / ID thief / fraudster too. I worked for the US secret service for 2 years and saw what percentage of people were caught. And those were just the online fraudsters we knew about.
