This interview is 1000x times more interesting than Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg or any other such "genius".

Its not unethical because its messing with the system, thats absurd. The system is a soulless machine that will grind you to dust. What was unethical was stealing a child's SSN and taking out debt in their name.

The debt on the child’s SSN will be certainly be cleared and written off as fraud

People like her a second chance. You didn't even have a first chance. And then the kids social that she's using. She could have wrecked, but it just all amazes me that they catch this and they still pushed forward.

It has to be the excitement of it all. To me, it seems like counter fitting takes a lot of work and requires a lot of thinking. Just stick with a high educational job.

High functioning sociopaths like this guy live for the thrill. Reckless risk taking and the possible consequences is a game they’re willing to play. Belief that you’ll a) never get caught and/or b) that you’re clever enough to get yourself out of any trouble are also attractive variables.

So you're fake identities brought up the value of an entire neighborhood or more? This is so incredibly absurd, but what makes it just salt in the wound? His house so many of us have so much trouble with our credit and we don't even want to participate. We basically need to. Then you have this b******* going on. Absolutely amazing!. And do we really wonder why we're about to have an economical collapse?
