Fascinating read about one man who actually traced the entire chain of false debt labelled to him and nearly 8mil other people back to one scummy asshat from buffalo.

Interesting (and seedy) story.  Also has a GRM slant for the Ferrari Race Team we all watched being auctioned off this past year.  

 

Now, if we could just get our hero here to work on getting to the bottom of the calls that I receive on my cell phone from "Credit Card Services" telling me they can lower my interest rates.  (Phishing scam trying to get peoples CC numbers.)

Yeah, reading that just confirms that there are no substitutes for being smart, careful, and informed.  And at least a little lucky.

Guy sounds like a mental case.

Call display is a thing. Use it.

Yes he does sound like a mental case. 

But sending a mental case after some dirt bag sociopaths seems like a win-win situation.

Are you implying that '60s Batman was not a mental case? cheeky
