My comment had nothing to do with whether or not this is morally acceptable. This is just a silly thing to brag about, no meaningful scams were disrupted. Might as well go fuck with the poor guy trying to buy food by running an equally immo

It’s probably never the scammers picking up the money. They’d just hire someone to act as a mule.

They only pay out the $100 if the scammers are identified thanks to you, kind of a bullshit offer really. “People in Japan can now earn $100 for doing the cops work for them.” would be a more accurate headline.

Germany could interfere if they wanted to, Kimble just isn’t worth the trouble (few people would be). There are things you can do, see how Russia is handling these things when their VIPs are targeted for extradition. Ordinary citizens with

This sounds like something actual law enforcement would do. Why should namecheap shut down a potential law enforcement operation targeting darknet criminals?

It can be slow and difficult to authenticate a court order. Returning the domain to it’s previous criminal operators might not be the best idea either. Other very similar sites have faced issues with the DOJ.

It’s funny too because Birkins have been really easy to buy during the past year, I got several while touring europe during peak-COVID because nobody was picking up their orders.

It is going for 120k precisely because it’s no longer available available from the manufacturer, there’s no retail price.

> Some MSRP $20k watches can resell for over $100k currently. Which? The base model Nautilus retails for $30k and the prices only skyrocketed because it was discontinued.

Safely taking steroids to achieve a movie star look is just about as realistic as driving a new Mercedes. Sure, you need to spend some money on medical supervision. Beyond that all it takes is ~6 hours a week at the gym.

I think you are ignoring the very real fact that there are very few people in the world who’d describe Soros in that manner and don’t subscribe in anti-semitic conspiracy theories. The inclusion of Bill Gates further supports this view, mos

Blaming Soros for Black Wednesday is just silly, the blame rests entirely on the government. And in any case, “screwing a whole nation”? Are you serious? Black Wednesday screwed the Tories, not the UK. Poor monetary policy cost the UK a few
