It's up to the members to spread the word and warn everyone. He's blocked me from posting on his thread, but I'm sure you've seen that he's saying he's going to send me high-quality products from other vendors who, if I complain about their product, will "deal" with me.
So not only is that more threats, but he's now trying to hide behind other people who are apparently dangerous and will kill me if I complain about their product.
So, let's put this into perspective:
Imagine you're one of those big vendors dealing with millions of dollars in merchandise and wanting as little attention as possible drawn to yourself, and you suddenly have this kid scamming people and dropping death threats with your name attached to them on the clearnet.
Know what that's called? Conspiracy to commit murder. It's punishable by up to life in prison. An attempt doesn't even need to be made on my life; he just needs to perform an action that suggests he's going to, and he's already implied that he has an agreement with these other vendors about what to do with me, so they're involved whether they like it or not because of what he said.
Now, imagine you're one of those huge vendors again and think about what I just said. How furious would you be at this kid? He's put himself in more danger than me.
His first pack landed yesterday and it was pouring down rain so I couldn't burn it—that was the original plan because I know anthrax is cheap, easy to cultivate, and available on the darkweb, so I didn't open it. Instead, I took a big fat marker and wrote RETURN TO SENDER on it in case it was a controlled delivery. I drove to a gas station and removed the label and barcode while I filled my tank, then wrapped it up tightly in a couple of bags and tossed it in the trash.
I wanted my $270, not whatever he'd sent.
Like I mentioned in a previous post—I've been a few places and done a couple of things. I've been over this whole thing for a while now and already said I'm no longer addressing him directly. But I'm a vet with documented PTSD, and I keep hearing the things this kid is saying about me, so I have some of options. Here's one:
1. I call my old staff sergeant in LA. We have that connection that people who have been through serious situations share, he'll know something is wrong in less than a minute, and I'll speak the truth like I always do. I'll tell him my service dog came down with cancer and it's taken a toll on us both. I broke down and started using again, fell in with some kid that scams people, and now he's threatening my life.
Or this kid can just leave me and other people alone, stop scamming, and take a hike.
The choice is his.
