I Was a Cybercrook for the FBI 72

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday January 30, 2007 @01:57PM from the well-not-me-the-guy-who-wrote-the-article dept.

Hoi Polloi writes "Wired News has a series starting on internet crime. The first piece they have up covers the story of a cybercrook who specialized in credit card fraud. Caught in a sting operation in November of 2002, the man who identified himself as 'El Mariachi' on message boards would lead a double life for the next two years working for the FBI. As he reported on credit card scammers, dodged his former associates, and stopped criminals from defrauding the 2004 presidential campaign, he also tried to keep his life together. A fascinating tale that looks at the face of modern crime, and crime-stopping techniques."

it might show that joggers are just as happy as sunbathers.

I would venture to say that joggers are as happy as sunbathers. Maybe I'm outside the norm here, but I'd rather be jogging than sunbathing. Just like I'd rather be coding than watching TV.

There is a feeling you get in the middle of a good run that is euphoric. You feel like you could run forever. It's a happy feeling.

One year ago today, I began the first alpha test of Warband 1066, my browser-based fantasy war game. It's grown up a lot since then, through five alpha tests, a private beta test, and nearly 5 months of public beta testing.

Happy Birthday, Warband 1066! It's been a ride.

For the last several months, I have been developing a browser-based MMOG called Warband 1066.

Manage your citizens - assign them to the mines, the stone quarry, the forest, or the farm. Build weapons and equip your warband. Construct your castle and command powerful wizards. Bring swift death to all who oppose you.
