    In this mini-documentary, I cover the story of Joel Ortiz. From growing up in Boston public housing to landing a full-ride scholarship at UMass Boston to Study Computer science, where he would then steal millions of dollars in a never-before-seen financial cyber attack targeting large crypto investors and companies. What did he do with the money? Lived the life of a billionaire's son, designer clothes, private yets, taking trips to LA, you name it; before it, all came crashing down to a series of mistakes.

    This video really struck a chord with me, because when I was a teenager, I was just like these guys. I just took a different path. I made my money in high school not by working a part time job, but by developing hacks for games such as Counter Strike and selling them. I very easily could have gotten into more nefarious pursuits, but I ended up taking a different path in life, and now I'm nearly done with my undergraduate studies in Computer Science, considering going for my PHD. I'm interested in the fields of cybersecurity, cryptography, and artificial intelligence.

      Damn I also started developing cheats for CSGO in high school and made a lot of money while all my friends were working part time and stuff. I bought an Audi S5 with money from my cheats in my last year of HS... Except instead of stopping I continued to learn and eventually made and started selling cheats for other games like Rust, Apex and EFT. I still do it to this day and it's my main source of income and I love doing it haha
      It's actually legal unlike fraud, but you have a risk of getting sued if you sell too many copies and really piss off the game studio. I believe that it's a relatively legitimate way of making money and can't really be compared to sim swapping. Congrats on your journey though, I tried college but didn't have the patience and motivation for it. Cybersecurity is very lucrative, I got friends who are making really good money in that.

FBI showed to the school, went to his house and confiscated all of his tech, he was on probation for a good while, the works. One day, someone knocked on his door and found him on the floor, dead from (I'm guessing because he had a past with it) heroin. The kid was a childhood friend and his dad's worst nightmare came true, that one day he'd get a call informaing him his son OD-ed.

      Usually nonviolent crime doesn't land people with insanely long sentences, as should be the case. People are kept in prison for the purpose of keeping them out of the general public because they would be a threat to the general public. If someone a very dangerous person who could kill or severely disable somebody, then it makes sense to sentence that person more harshly than someone who nonviolently stole from someone else without causing any trauma.

    The funny thing is he still stayed as a skid to the end and did more social engineering than anything else. Can't code his way through and consistently had to buy tools to do it. The exploits he used isn't found by him, often ideas he found somewhere else. Even if his sentence wasn't heavy, I struggle to see how he would do "good" even after his release. You can't just get off this kind of high, especially when they are gonna be treated way worse by society after jail.

Passing tests is the main way to get high marks. If you’re good at tests , then getting really good grades is easy af.

Don't flaunt millions of dollars all over the web. 4. Don't make posts about illegal activities on hacking or posting videos under for educational purposes only. 5. Don't do what they did.
