[UPDATE] Ocean Marketing Attempts To Extort Former Client

[bootz]

I was wondering how he got a job. Did he spell check his resume. Did he list wwebsiting as a skill. Was the governor of the moon one of his references.

I might have to redo my resume.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Snip

...

I am just speechless.

This is just stupid on so MANY levels I can't even comprehend it.

You choose to conmint two felonies at once (hacking and extortion) while your both the most hated and visible person on the internet?

REALLY?

-_-

This isn't stupidity, this is INSANITY.

It's only going to get better

If this fellow had any sense he would have fled when he had the chance

Now he gets to go down in flames and take his family with him

 

[Sovvolf]

Not only has he guaranteed that he will never have a penny to his name again (Hard to get a job, plus a possible loss of damages lawsuit), now he may put himself in jail.
This is better than any sit-com!

-eats popcorn- Well its been my entertainment for the last few days... Though I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not :/.

Indeed, I doubt after this debacle he'll be doing much more than sweeping floors or collecting glasses for a living. Giving this guys attitude and apparent lack of intelligence I have a feeling that this fellow would actually put N-control down as a reference on his C.V...

Adding to that, having a criminal record (specially for reasons of trying to extort your former clients) doesn't help in the employment area. All in all, I think this fellow is pretty screwed and, short of winning the lottery or robing a bank... May have doomed himself to a life of poverty. All in the space of a few days. Almost tragic when you think about it.

I'm not too sure why everyone mentions his family, why are they involved?

I'm not too sure why everyone mentions his family, why are they involved?

He claimed that his 'wife' (the fact that they're actually married was called into question) and child were receiving death threats.

Given his track record and knowing how the internet at large reacts to things, I'd wouldn't be surprised either way.

Same dde who claimed he knew the mayor of Boston, I don't buy it.

Does anyone know the episode of South Park with the breast cancer? He reminds me of Cartman off that. Surely by now he understand the implications of his actions?

I doubt it, I just read his Forbes interview. Blaming mike for not giving him the heads up on who he was? Priceless stupidity.

 

[lordjiggly]

If Einstein were alive today, might be surprised at how infinity can become human stupidity.

 

[Lunar Templar]

ah, stupidity ..... i do hope he gets locked up for this, since ya know, he's breaking the law at this point. or some one throws him under a bus for real ....

Oh, and this is illegal, right? This HAS to be illegal.

Calumon: ...I don't like him. I thought he just might be having a bad day, but he's just a really big meanie.

yes, yes it is, and by my (very limited) understanding, i think its a federal offense (again, not sure)

*gives Calumon a couple cookies so he's not left out and for being cute*

 

[Noble_Lance]

Can someone in the government just claim he has ties to a terrorist group so we can rendition him someplace far far away.

 

[SteakHeart]

Blackmail is such an ugly word. I prefer extortion! The 'X' makes it sound cooler! But really, I guess Ocean Marketing-

*Sunglasses*

Is all washed up.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

 

[Korolev61]

Christoforo knew that his crappy PR marketing skill would bite him in the ass one day. He anticipated this for months and somehow thought it was a good idea to hold Ocean Marketing's digital property (e-mail, social networking, etc) hostage to extort money out of them. I really would not be surprised if this man has charges pressed against him.

Why couldn't Paul Christoforo just fade into the lime-light like a sane individual would do? Probably because he isn't one.

Paul, you reap what you sow, buddy!

 

[captaincabbage]

Does the stupid know no bounds? This is now blatantly illegal. A dude in the us is being sued for 300k for running off with a company twitter account.

>E-mail extortion law details to the company.
>Watch as Christoforo gets raped in the ass by layers briefcases.

 

[ecoho]

he is a professional troll!

He's not even that since while trolls will do it for the lulz, this guy believes that what he is doing is the best way for him to clear his name! He honestly believes he can get away with all of this!

This guy is, without a shadow of doubt the most STUPID person this year, to the point it is insufferable. Could someone please ship him naked and penniless to the center of the Australian outback where he can stay away from human society completely, as I am scared there are those that sympathise with someone who clearly does not have the brain functions required to be a productive member of society, let alone a man in his position.

Oh, and this is illegal, right? This HAS to be illegal.

Calumon: ...I don't like him. I thought he just might be having a bad day, but he's just a really big meanie.

just drop him off in the middle of wyoming if the animals or the weather dont get him the ranchers sure as hell will.

Just this morning, I was thinking how disappointing it was that he was right, that this was all going to blow over in a couple of days, that this bully was going to get away with this, never even understanding that he did anything wrong, that it's not wrong to be a dick to powerful people, it's wrong to be a dick to anyone.

But now, he's gone from asshole to criminal (I mean even more so [http://courtindex.sdcourt.ca.gov/CISPublic/casedetail?casenum=DVN14325&casesite=NC&applcode=D])

Thank you Paul, thank you for making sure this will haunt you for the rest of your life.

 

[J0057Mith]

As far as I'm concerned this adds nothing new to the story, he's still the same impotent jackass he always was, and I still believe we should be more concerned about how we react to this, and how other sections of media see us. All this death threat and retaliatory bollocks could give SOPA some big ammunition.

Agreed, I'm just glad FOX hasn't sunk their teeth into this one yet on an anti-gaming rant... I'm really glad Paul C is being an amoral jerk or him stepping to FOX news might turn out to be an effective move to strike back against 'us'.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

So now he's gone from making an ass of himself to doing something blatantly illegal? And he seriously thought people wouldn't find out? So now I take it he's probably going to get arrested soon enough.

God, this has to be the stupidest person I've ever heard of.

 

[ThunderCavalier]

Was there a Year's Douchiest Person contest that's supposed to be hosted somewhere in January that I missed?

Because I can't comprehend how anyone could be so stupid as to keep provoking people like this.
