What’s not to like about this, this guy has some crazy talent and hacker skills, doxing this operation gives a certain schadenfreude everyone can get behind.

I applaud his computer skills. I do not applaud his ability to pronounce the letter H, as in HR. But hey, nobody’s perfect.

Hackers don’t know how to say words with their mouths, they spend all of their time typing alone in a basement.

I dunno something about scammers preying on the vulnerable never sat right with me.

Watching them get a bit of karma is better than nothing at least.

I’ll definitely be downvoted for this too but I completely agree. There’s a fine line between entertainment at scammers’ expense and vigilantism for views. Publicly spreading the faces of people you’re accusing of a crime without any sort of trial is definitely the latter and has little direct impact on shutting down these operations. This video screams ego trip.

I used to watch Kitboga and they were much more ethical (at least when I watched). They’d lean heavily into the entertainment side, waste a lot of the scammers’ time which they then couldn’t spend on actual victims, and report/shutdown accounts as they came up which actually does directly impact their operation. Your scam call center still works if one of your workers gets their face posted online, it doesn’t if you have no bank account.

That would be a sound argument if they weren’t doing the crime right there on the video.

I suggest you read the next few words in that sentence which you conveniently left out of your quote, might help clear up any confusion.

Same. Just like I can’t stand cringe humor. I know it’s popular, just it doesn’t gel with me.
