Thanks for this. This is great. Except for, many cyber criminals ARE in the US. I've been filming & photographing a large group that traffics, since 2021. They're here, on our soil. I also met many perpetrators, in Silicon Valley. I was the Financial Controller for several major tech companies 2006-2010, working with thousands of engineers. When I achieved exit, hackers would come up to me, and give me bits of info. It always disturbed me, until I got curious, then decided to research what they were doing.One perpetrator from DC in 2021, said his father was Secret Service, and he and his friends, were exploiting some of that technology. He was an actual Influencer, and told me he marketed his brand, which was about art, tattoos, lifestyle. He formed teams of volunteers/gamers for the Domestic Terrorist Organization he worked for, utilizing Serious Games. They physically followed & technologically breached, specific individuals who fit their attack criteria. It was for profit. The targets were chosen due to their finances, their politics, their media, or for revenge. He told me he marketed and amassed a group of 1,200 Players, willing to wreak havoc.
In 2021, I spoke to a former Advertising Director living in Virginia. He admitted to me that he has a gambling addiction & engages in this type of gaming to feed his habit, for pay, and for revenge. He described women the way Narcissists do, on an extreme scale of love v hate. He told me he formed gaming teams of 1,000 players per game. He said their goal is to make money through fraud, earn points, and then kill their target within 2-3 months, making it look like suicide. He writes books, which are his trophies. One per victim.
In 2015 I spoke with a Real Estate Co-Owner in San Francisco. He told me he had a rough childhood in New York, was befriended by a male leader in mafia. He told me his job was to go to homes as a teen, and the men he was with, would beat or kill the individuals in those homes, who had debt. He told me he wanted to get out of the violent part of it, and so found BitCoin. He said he now forms teams to harass & steal from people, using technology.
In 2021 in Texas to DC, a caravan I was recording, were immigrants, from Mexico, Brazil, New Zealand, other countries. One GM who forms teams stated she brings individuals over from Australia to play in US illegal tournaments. One immigrant in DC, told me he was hired to write for a Foundation that Traffics, and that if he did what they said, they would help him with US citizenship.
This is happening HERE on US soil by Citizens & Immigrants, working for organized crime. They do use their devices from their home countries. They also use VPN's. I was able to interview a small handful of Threat Actors, who told me that they had felonies, and after they got out of prison, could not get hired elsewhere, unless menial work. One started working for organized crime, paying him $50/hour. One woman stated she earned $10K per deliverable.
