This is bullshit, he was found because he had bad opsec. Twitter linked the burner phone to AT&T, AT&T records showed he slotted the SIM in an iPhone, and that iPhone allowed the cops to grab all his iCloud account.

So am I reading the article right, this dumbass accessed his normal icloud account through his burner phone?

a quick google suggests that seizures usually last a minute or less and so hopefully our justice system is p skeptical about the 8 min seizure claim.

he kept getting up after having a seizure only to glance at the monitor again and have another seizure

Sorry I was wrong. It looks like he never bought a burner phone, just bought a SIM card and slotted it in his iPhone.

He "investigated" a pedo network and donated 2000 bucks to the owner for an interview. Later he gave him another 1100 to shut up.

This is even more dumb. According to that article he also messaged other Twitter users and explicitly said "I hope this sends him into a seizure...let's see if he dies"

it leads to people giving false tips or exaggerated claims to make money, plus it is just a bad idea to alter a reporter-source relationship by turning it into a business relationship

Yeah its also bad journalism to lie to your employer about giving those payments to the former child prostitute running a pedophile forum, and then become administrator of the pedophile forum, and then claim the reason you failed to disclose the payments was because you conveniently suffer from "significant memory disruptions"

Seizures can be triggered pretty quickly, but I also think that's a bit weird.

Look Viking you're a trash Trump supporter what the fuck makes you think you can have an avatar that isn't what I decide? Shut your fucking trap and go away. Your trolling is tiresome and just shits up the forum.
the greatest thing about this is Kurt learned about Twitter autoplay via the same thing earlier happening to him

so this is the second time someone gave him a seizure via Twitter, and he did in fact press play in this case voluntarily

e- lol

"In his tweet, which has since been deleted, Mike made mention of my seizures and included a small video. It contained images of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character that has been identified by the Anti-Defamation League as a hate symbol. I was carrying my iPad, looking at the still image on the video and, without thinking, touched the PLAY button.

The video was some sort of strobe light, with flashing circles and images of Pepe flying toward the screen. It’s what’s called epileptogenic—something that triggers seizures. Fortunately, since I was standing, I simply dropped my iPad to the ground the second I realized what Mike had done. It landed face down on the bathroom floor.

The deplorables are real. The deplorables are dangerous."

This should have been easy peezy thing to do anonymously but if you try to maliciously induce a seizure in somebody you're dumb and probably not a good planner

it is a fascinating story because if this poor loser had a single functioning brain cell this would be an open-and-shut case about how no, tweeting a gif at someone is not a crime.

but the defendant is so profoundly stupid he has provided the perfect case you'd ask for if you wanted to render it illegal going forward.
