Robinhooding never looked so fiiiine. 👀
Luigi + Hamza fanfic erotica coming soon, (banned in china.)
I’ll be honest. Charity aside, I like that the guy kicked the banks in the dick.
Even his prison guards are smiling. One on the left looks like he admires him.
Despite much information on the internet Bendelladj did not get sentenced to death, and claims saying he donated any money to charity are almost impossible to verify. Trial documents did not mention any donations or charity activities, making the claim of charity disputed and not known for sure.
Is there any proof of the charity claims? Because Wikipedia gives nothing
Homeboy probably spent .000001% of the money on PR, bought a shitton of bitcoin with the rest, go to jail a few years, buy an island when he gets out, maybe Trump will be willing to sell Greenland to him at that point who knows
Pretty much any word in the picture is contradicted by the Wikipedia article
As many narrative exist depending on who’s facts you’re listening to.
Would be a bad hacker if he left a trail of all the money
Money leaves a trail by itself, it doesn’t magically disappear and reappear somewhere else
There is a huge business of money laundering built specifically for this purpose. Any hacker worth their salt should know someone or some place.
That article doesn’t cite anything either, only that “some sources say” he donated some of the money. A far cry from the claim that he donated all of the stolen $4b.
Al-Jazeera is not a credible source
Aljazeera is a fine source as long as you’re not looking at their news regarding Qatar/Qatari interests.
Absolutely, that’s their one major source of bias. They lean mildly to the left, but I’m very much okay with that given what “leaning right” means these days
More credible than most US media conglomerate news sources
Oh my God, could there be alternatives somewhere between the US and radical Islamists? 😱
Sure. Jacobin et al
not a credible source
So like the New York Times?
MBFC Credibility Rating: MEDIUM CREDIBILITY
Bias Rating: LEFT-CENTER (-3.2) Factual Reporting: MIXED (4.7) Country: Qatar MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: LIMITED FREEDOM Media Type: TV Station Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
What’s a good unbiased source? As an example I checked DW on the above website and while they’re rated as being left center and having a high factual reporting, thanks to Germany’s general bias they currently report very little about Palestine.
I think you have to read a variety of sources and favor the outlets that report facts without reporter opinion. I’d use Al jazeera for news outside of the middle east, but also add reuters and Associated Press.
Foreign language press is also interesting if you feel your sources have bias.
Yeah no.
I doubt he’ll still be smiling after 15 years in a Thai prison.
According to his Wikipedia article, he was sentenced in the US so I suppose he is in an American prison.
That explains why he got 15 years for a non-violent crime.
I guess that’s slightly better.
Probably not
Pro tip: If you’re gonna steal from a bank, steal from a Norwegian one.
Is there a back story to this that I don’t know?
Norwegian prisons are famously relatively humane compared to most other countries
They have a better quality of life than low-income US citizen. Except for, you know, not being able to leave.
Here’s an article about one of those prisons on an island: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidnikel/2020/07/01/basty-norways-island-prison-where-inmates-work-ski-and-watch-tv/
Ah, thanks.
Is that Danny Ricardo? Lol
Red Bull should be afraid
Cool motive, still theft.
No revolution was fought peacefully… You can’t bring systemic change if you’re gonna stay within the confines of the system…
Relevant username.
Damn, you got me. Totally never seen that one before on the internet.
To be clear, I’m not defending the banks at all here, but this isn’t the most ethical way to give to charity, and we don’t actually know if he did give it all away.
Cool motive, if true this man helped more people than most people will or have ever done.
Theft against banks.
According to the Wikipedia he withdrew money from private individuals’ credit cards.
Ever heard of protections for citizens. That money is back in all those affected accounts as it legally is required to be
Are they the same in every country?
That’s the bank’s money.
Banks usually hold other people’s money.
Banks are insured, along with all accounts under $250k. I don’t know about you, but I’ve never had to worry about going over the FDIC limit.
I mean, I’m not taking sides or anything but isn’t the FDIC a government agency and any insurance money used to cover thefts ultimately come from taxpayers?
No, because the US federal government has monetary sovereignty using a Fiat currency, meaning the US can pay for it without extracting it from taxes.
Now, my caddie’s chauffeur informs me that a bank is a place where people put money that isn’t properly invested. Therefore, robbing a bank is tantamount to that most heinous of crimes, theft of money.
Now I may be just be a simple country Hyper-Chicken, but I know when we’re finger licked.
