Sigh,if you're going to make a joke like that,make it the right stereotype.It's the Swiss army that only has 1 soldier,and the French that has plenty,but waves more white laundry around then a dry cleaner.Ultratwinkie said:
Why would the station have to sell him out when he already sold himself out by appearing on national television, stating his real identity, and admitting to what he'd done?

they can feign ignorance but i'm sure thats what happened. Getting rid of a national security risk is well worth a bit of integrity (assuming they don't feign ignorance which they did XD)
if you read the article carefully nothing in it says he revealed his true identity other than he is known as "carl" <.<JDKJ said:Why would the station have to sell him out when he already sold himself out by appearing on national television, stating his real identity, and admitting to what he'd done?

There's no need for anyone to snitch someone out when they're already snitching themselves out.
But it does appear that Carl is in fact his real first name. And he did more that just stupidly reveal his first name. If you read the article carefully, you'll see where he also disclosed that he had purchased and sold credit card information online, some of which he used to buy things for himself. You can't see where he sprinkled a bread-crumb trail for the police to follow right up to his front door?DTWolfwood said:if you read the article carefully nothing in it says he revealed his true identity other than he is known as "carl" <.<JDKJ said:Why would the station have to sell him out when he already sold himself out by appearing on national television, stating his real identity, and admitting to what he'd done?

and as most would assume he would have done it with his face concealed. Hence the whole part about the station saying they had no idea he got arrested. Its a matter of coincidence, that the time of his arrest and the time of this tv appearance was so close. hence my speculation that the station sold him out
the man can hack government computers, you'd think he would at least have the wherewithal to only agree to show up on TV concealed. that said, he should have known never to trust a national television station or the common sense to show up at all. XD
of course all of this would be moot if he did show his face on TV.
Carl might not be common in france perhaps. But talking about your exploits and actually revealing the information of your exploits are 2 different things. He claims to have done them but come on, he would not have showed the information behind it on TV. If he did, well that's that and we have nothing else to discuss.JDKJ said:But it does appear that Carl is in fact his real first name. And he did more that just stupidly reveal his first name.

And the fact that his appearance on television and his arrest are in close temporal proximity likely has more to do with the fact that he blabbed his mouth on television than the television station cooperating with the police. If you were the police and had all the information Carl provided plus full investigative powers (.e.g., the ability to subpoena 'net records and fraudulent credit card transaction records), how long would it take you to track his ass down and arrest him? It wouldn't take me 48 hours.
Well, then, I guess we have nothing to discuss because what appears to be beyond dispute is that the fucking idiot gave all the information needed for anyone to track him down and arrest him. I'm not saying that the television station didn't cooperate with the police. I can't rule out that possibility. But it does appear to be a fact that their cooperation wasn't needed. Carl, without any help from anyone else, made his own noose and then stuck his own neck in it. That much does appear to a fact.DTWolfwood said:Carl might not be common in france perhaps.

If I get on national television and disclose that I am the famed "D.B. Cooper" who hijacked that 727 back in 1971 and my real name is John Smith and my address is 1234 Elm Street where I can be found everyday after 5:30PM, it doesn't matter that I haven't disclosed how I managed to survive a parachute jump over the Washington wilderness in the dead of night. What matters is that the police now know precisely who I am and where I can be found.JDKJ said:Well, then, I guess we have nothing to discuss because what appears to be beyond dispute is that the fucking idiot gave all the information needed for anyone to track him down and arrest him.
