One thing I wish I mentioned in the video, when the prosecutor said Graham got 6 years total punishment, that meant 3 years prison plus 3 years probation. Tricky wording to sound like more jail time. So happy to see XQC watch it on stream
it WILL come out eventually, most of these probably get out by jealous friends or family. Imagine being friends with a guy for 10 years, he does an insane scam making millions and then he doesn't give you anything and breaks contact
I don't think he will, he still has the left over money. If he does stuff again he doesn't have the youth protection thing anymore. Wish he got punished more though.
@@ardel-4964 exactly. he’s not a minor anymore so there’s no way he can slip through anything. 3 year jail sentence and after that he has 12 million dollars waiting for him
@@sina2403 i think he did, it's just he had more bitcoin he probably stole but police doesn't know where. He had like 400 bitcoin. 100 was probably given back to old dude. 300 he gets to keep
I was in the HCF community when Open started to pop off on RU-vid and everyone knew him for faking his trapping videos, never knew he went down such a dark path wtf
They seized all his assets, when he gets out he has nothing. Tbh he'll probably go back to a life of stupidity and crime and we'll see him back on the news and in prison
I was in the hcf community for a while but I never delved deep into it like that, only watched RU-vidrs like stimpy, loolitsalex, painfulpvp, meezoid, imakemcvids and the list goes on. Seeing xqc react to a video like this with a community I was fairly involved in is crazy. I had no idea Open ever did this 🤣
2 mil per year in a juvenile facility, for 6 years. Then set for life. I'd take that deal in a heartbeat Edit: turns out it was 3 years and then 3 probation. I'm hacking twitter as I'm typing this
My appreciation for X's insight on things is literally night and day. One video I can't tell if he's trolling and the next video I find myself nodding along or wondering how I never realized what he was saying before.
whatever amount of jail time he got 3 years, 6 years, 10 years, that's still a lot of time. he's still sort of young and not fully matured yet, he'll have a lot of time to think about his actions and he'll most likely never do anything crazy again.
Look at this way. This is his last chance, fundamentally. The whole "keeping scammed money" shit is just braindead, but the actual time shouldn't be insane, considering how young he is. Emotional, visceral reactions are not reasonable. A repeat offender, 0 chance of rehab is rare, 1, and 2, will pretty much be perma jailed. Even in that case, US prison systems need to be more accommodating and humanizing. As they are, you will almost certainly see mental decline, and a severe loss of QOL in there. Frankly, the whole system is just stupid.
15:20 2fa is actually quite good it really just depends on what you are using for 2fa like obviously a password with an email for 2fa is redundant when you have their email but say if you use an authenticator app on your phone then it is much harder to get. but yes people generally just use an email which is still pretty weak in authentication.
Wrong. Once you're doing high level breaches like Graham was doing then you delved into sim swapping, where you would call someone sim provider to get a new sim card so you could get anything on their phone they use for authentication. It's not hard at all, Graham was a skid with terrible opsec.
@offtop r u ignorant or stupid, authenticator apps are installed on a device locally and act as a physical key. if you steal a sim card u can access anything linked to the sim card not the phone. how stupid can one human be. you dont magically get a clone of the phones files. the only way to get past an authenticator app is to physically have the phone or remotely gain root access to the device.
@@offtop1832 No, authenticator apps don't transfer with sims or phone numbers. If you lose access to the authenticator app in your phone, you have to contact the company that you're trying to access directly for them to remove your 2fa. If you set 2fa with mail or sms of course it is easy as fuck. With an authenticator app it is not. You would have to get the actual phone.
@@offtop1832 like above said you're straight up wrong authenticators have no links to a phone number or email the only way for another phone to access an authenticator through a recovery is through the reset code which is written down BY the person that set it up so basically an impossibility unless you straight up kidnap lol an authenticator is hardcoded to whatever phone you set it up on if you ever reset its gone forever you'd have to physically steal that phone for access
@@theuprising2216 yes. Google authenticator is locked to the specific device. When you get a new phone, the carrier transfers your SIM to that new phone, just as if someone were to call and pretend to be you, and have them switch it for "you". Even after a full back-up, authenticators will no longer have any of the accounts on it. You have to go to the individual account's help desks and disable the authenticator via the same means (social engineering) they used on the mobile carrier to transfer the SIM. You already know their security questions, as well as now having access to their emails, phone calls, and text messages via SIM swap, and can have any authenticator disabled. Edit: again, not disable the authenticator app itself disabled... but the very need to even enter it on any one account. For example, someone I know was hacked on a game that required Google authenticator, but the hacker also had access to his email and/or SECONDARY recovery email, and could just go to the game's website, attempt to log in, then reset or disable the authenticator when prompted to enter it. Then, start to think about your Google/Gmail/Chrome sync... now they have all your auto-fill information including passwords. The 3FA comes in at the start, so they can never sway the phone carriers (Or any other company the hacker is trying to gain access to) to swap your SIM/change your passwords/what have you, to any random dude calling. 3FA requests in-person, webcam view, or photo evidence, fingerprint, or face scan to access the account. There are many many ways to get around 2FA that are so blatant and everyone is guilty of it... social engineering is the basis of a large majority account hacks. Outside of large data breaches, of course.
Open was a huge scumbag on HCF and potpvp. I always called that he was going to end up facing serious time with some of the allegations he was facing back in 2016-2017. HCF was a terribly toxic community and you easily could slip into the wrong group and end up scamming, doxxing and ddossing.
Damm this documentary was really good, it reminded me a bit like The movie Wolf of wall street. I mean 12 million in bitcoin 210 year in prison originally (before the plea deal) at the age of 17. I mean damm that just sounds fucking impressive NGL.
Man walks away with 3m, has the chance to just invest it/find a job and live a great life, gets greedy, gets caught and STILL only faces 6 years. Holy fuck, American justice system ain't fair at all.
Yeah, running the doubling money scam was dumb. They could have shorted any stock out there and made the markets crash. If they had shorted enough individual things on enough different accounts, they could have walked away free and billionaires.
At 12 yrs old sitting at home playing video games and making 5k a month doesn’t sound average at all. Especially since he doesn’t have to pay bills or anything.
Can attest to how toxic factions is, and how it can lead to much worse things. When I was 11, I started ddosing kids on factions to raid them. At 12 I started selling ips / ddosing for money, and at 13 I was being paid to take down schools and workplaces for the day. Almost got into some big trouble for that, and stopped doing it afterwards.
I this dude was actually smart he would be subtly siphoning money through those methods and would be living rent-free and unemployed, PROBABLY, free till this day.
I understand X wants to make reaction videos transformative but he needs to watch the entire video before having stunlocks that get answered in the video.
minecraft hackers thinking they are anything more than script kitties running off other peoples widely known scripts is so funny, its like how xbox players think they are mr.robot cause they have a booter that someone else made
@@expiredgamer_ugh it is fun to have an advantage over everyone, there's a reason so many people download cheats for games. For the ones that do actually try to do cyberattacks and steal personal info that's a whole other story
the reason why survival type gamemodes are toxic is becasue people spend many hours looting to get fully restarted. which some people don't take it lightly and turn to being toxic.
3:39 It's the power fantasy. My theory, you gain power and dominate your opponents, killing them and stealing their stuff. It's a hurt/have power over others simulator.
Raiding in factions is even more crazy printomh in cannons to shoot at 12 chunks of walls and forcing the base while the other faction patches its fucking crazy now just watch some archon raid edits on youtube
