Smart enough to hack a huge social platform, yet dumb enough to get caught

Anyone know how they reeled him in?

Holy shite, that enough people fell for that obvious scheme is incredible.



Think people probably rewarded him for the hilarity more so than falling for anything.

I was just looking at POTUS' schedule earlier and I noticed that he's actually gonna be in Tampa today.

He looks nothing like him but that is a Strzok smirk.

Just jiggle his head in that peculiar gay way.

If you did something to him back in high school, you might want to give him a call and make it right.

I have a hard time believing this TBH

Mike Bloomberg and some other political figures were in there that aren't well known. Especially to most 17 year olds.

More likely, he'll be given a job at an internet security outfit once he completes any sort of sentence. Kevin Mitnick set the precedent for that.

Odds are they didn't find the hacker and this is just the patsy to distract the public.

Kid is no mastermind. He bought a tool from a twitter employee.
