this was the wildest thing I've listened to in awhile. cheers for getting him to talk.
How much of what he said do you thonk is bullshit? A lot of his story comes off as braggadocio, some of which seemed downright adbsurd. He has an "associate" whose balls haven't even dropped, but he like some sort of scammer savant passing as Vincent Adultman, fraud prevention specialist? People are slinging McClarens for random bags of crypto? He's not even 21 but pops bottles of Dom at the club with his other underage degen frens and then goes back to his parents' house?
It's not 100% bullshit. However, the kid is a sociopath. This behavior is textbook antisocial with goes in lockstep with being a compulsive liar.
Yes a lot of his story didn’t line up. He drives a McLaren but lives at home in SF but said “everyone moved to LA”. Said some other guy stole his money and took off but when asked about the guy that left starts talking about some other guy that only made 10k.

That was fucking insane, that kid is a sociopath. “Everyone gets the price they deserve” != “I get to thieve and they get a lesson as a cost”

The whole fiat system is one giant social engineering campaign
Yes, I was thinking maybe I misheard him on the story about all his friends moving to LA to scam together, because that sounded ostensively batshit absurd; like the sort of thing an asshole kid would make up without realizing how logistically inconsistent that is with shit he also just said. Adding to that, this is a kid who talks about money like he has only spent time lying about it. The cognitive age that he is at, there is no way that he looks at hundreds of thousands as video game money, if he actually had it.
I think the only things that are maybe even half-true are the oddly specific logistics and details about the scam. Evereything else sounded like a failure-to-launch 20-something would make up to impress losers.

kids are gonna cold call everyone who went to Ohio State
If this guy is a scammer and not a show you put on for us, he definitely dropped some information that should get him and others arrested like today. Sure there was some bragging with lies but I doubt he managed to make that all up on the fly. What I found most surprising was how he didn't come to his senses during any of those awkward pauses. Maybe his biggest lie is that he's doing this since years cause I find it hard to believe you were the first to try to get some info out of him.
did you listen when he mentioned that "no one" ever gets arrested? or when he said that social engineering is not even a serious crime? or that there are a lot of other kids doing the same and living their life without any worries?
Yes, I did but with such a confession ... him getting doxed could be quite detrimental. Even if he does not get jailed for fraud, the IRS might also want to talk to him.
Yea he doesn't understand he is committing tax fraud as well by not reporting and even admits funneling money through his business also money laundering. Eventually he will be welcomed to Law might not like the results. Pieces of garbage doesn't understand he is destroying lives on the other side. Justifies it like a video game 🤦

I don't think thieves get many chances to brag about their exploits, so it makes sense he would just start bragging when the script broke. It's a shame any way you cut it, whether he was telling the truth or stretching it or just lying.
I have 3 kids and he sounds a lot like my son and his buddies who played Minecraft. That kid knew way too much to be lying.

Can't listen: "You have not provided a valid SoundCloud URL."
This is the most entertaining recording I have come across in a long time. Thanks for taking the time to share it. In the process of listening I realized all of this is made possible because of KYC.
The dude's friend is gonna get caught .. he told all the names he bought in minecraft
He potentially doxed his mate and by extension, if it's true that they hang out together, himself. Finding the guy who owns the name Coinbase on Minecraft shouldn't be that hard. If they have all the crypto they claim to have, him and his mates are a honey pot for other hackers and extortionists.
Dude tried to scam junseth. Junseth recorded the whole call and got him to talk for 20 minutes bragging about all the shit he and his friends do to scam and what they do with the stolen money. Dude claimed to be young and have started this path at the age of 13 and most in the business are minecraft players. Friend paid $100k for the name "Coinbase" on minecraft. Dude is a professional liar so it's not clear how much of it was completely made up or why he would not hang up even after repeated awkwardly silent moments.
