15 comments and no ones bothered to say anything about the content of the article. So let me be the first to say that I love this guy! He's what the public wanted Dillenger and Jesse James to be. He hasn't killed anyone in all these years and literally steals from the rich and gives to the poor. A+
- cgio 12y agoBeing from Greece, with roots in Kalambaka, which is where Palaiokostas still probably lives, the money he gives to the poor is an insurance policy and makes a nice story, but it is totally immaterial compared to what he stole from the rich. Also, he himself has not killed as far as we know, but his "associates" were quite ruthless, especially Rizai who was convicted for paid executions.
- alexbecker 12y agoDon't forget that he even further destabilizes the economy and costs the people a lot of money through policing, federal insurance of banks (or whatever system Greece uses), etc.
- golemotron 12y agoAfter a few paragraphs I said to myself "this looks like a criminal hagiography." Seems like it worked.
- alexhawdon 12y agoI know. I've considered proposing (in as much as one can 'propose'; Ask HN, perhaps) a secondary 'meta' comment collection for each article for this reason. I do get it. HN has a lot of Web devs/designers and website look and feel is something they're passionate and opinionated about. But I do find it a little irritating when discussion about the content of a submission is drowned out by complaints about scrolling. Thoughts?
