Watch CNBC’s Eamon Javers in his new documentary about a Russian insider trading gang stealing from investors on Wall Street, and the spies who played a role: ua-cam.com/video/J4kWugbH4qo/v-deo.html
See, this is why the government in its entirety is such a dispicable entity. Okay this guy did something wrong, (sort of at least, yet I never heard anyone crying about money stolen from drug dealers and human traffickers. he was kind of like robin hood, stealing from actual criminals, thus making the world a bit safe, although for selfish reasons. anywayyyyy), he was the reason the government collected billions of dollars and they didn't bother to uphold his rights as a citizen and solve the crime committed against him. What, it would have cost more than 3 billion dollars to solve this crime? They couldn't have used the exact same techniques they used against him to trace the perpetrator?
I just feel there's something unfair about everything that happened to him. Took money from criminals, the government took the money from him and send him to jail. Feels like the government is the villain in this story.
It's true, the government is ran by Satan! You need Jesus to bring justice! Unfortunately, Jimmy wasn't worshipping Jesus, so he wasn't saved from Satan! But also, if Jimmy were worshipping Jesus, he'd have to pay tithes! Rich people typically don't worship Jesus, so they're just pretending to be good people while sabotaging the world! Jimmy was a lonely loser because he was selfish, and was vulnerable to the world.
Do not die with a Will in Austin TX use Right of Survivorship. Some Thieves wear Suits ! Pray for Judge Guy Herman. DEMOCRAT. Probate Court Scam, Theft Alert . A Mom and daughter both own, each one half of 15 tree covered acres with two houses, each have No Debts. Austin, Texas built a Formula 1 Race track and Music Concert and Events Center across the hiway and as visitors exit the Main Entrance across the street that tree covered, undivided, 15 acres has 2 homes on it. The Mom died leaving a Signed notarized and double witnessed Will stating that the Mom's house and property is Not to be SOLD. The Mom, always a good Judge of character, met the new neighbor Developer and said that man is no good and no good will come from him. The "Honorable" "Ethical" Probate Court Judge Guy Herman replaced the Named Trusted Loyal Executor who would Not SELL , with the Austin, Texas, Travis County taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer's "Ethical" Attorney as Administrator who that day Contracted to SELL the Debt Free Estate likely valued at $500~800k to maybe a high of $3,000,000, due to the location (2023 Austin area property tax is $150,000 per acre $150k x 7 1/2 acres= 1,125k), to the Taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer for $60k claiming SELLING the DEBT FREE House and 7 1/2 acre Estate (half of the family's Undivided 15 acres) is BEST for the Family. The Will gives the Executor and now by law the Administrator the power to SELL or Not SELL and to SET the price if needed with only a low price Limit and NO UPPER Limit. By removing the Named in the Will Loyal Trusted Executor the HONORABLE Guy Herman made the Estate Defenseless , and has Stolen (at a cheap price) this Mom's house. To maintain Control, Judge Guy Herman refused to permit a Trial by Jury. Because the Named Trusted Executor complained soo much another "Ethical" Judge, Daniel Prashner , stepped in and said he reviewed the Probate Court case and said he would Court Order a SELL at $60k. Probate Court is a Brotherhood of Snakes . The Velocity Project Developer already has 100+ bull dozed flat acres to the side and 70+Millions of dollars and teams of "Ethical" lawyers but he doesn't have that Mom and daughter's place at the Main Entrance. Don't Die with a Will , do "Right of Survivorship" and avoid Probate Court's Legal "Ethical" Theft for the Good of the Debt Free Family Scams . DEBT FREE means No Need to SELL. How much Safer would you feel sleeping knowing that this Developer bought half of your Family's homestead for $60k by Court Order.? As visitors exit the Main Entrance of the Formula One Racetrack, Concert Events Center and Amusement Park the tree covered property directly across the street is the tree covered, undivided 15 acres where the Mom and Daughter's 2 Houses are. The 100+ acres of bull dozed land beside the Mom and daughter's Homestead is owned by the Travis County taxpayer funded Developer of the Velocity Project, operating as 10+ LLC companies who want to put in Retail and housing. Do not die with a Will , Use a Right of Survivorship or Pass on Death filed at the Courthouse prior to death. So the Ethical Judge and State Bar of Texas Ethical Attorneys can't Steal your Property. Father Jehovah, they by the offices they hold represent Thy Hand here upon this Earth and as such they should be held to a higher level of accountability than that of the people they are here to serve. Father Jehovah, I ask that You hold back Thy Mercy, stretch forth Thy Hand, spare not Thy Rod and correct those that are in positions of authority with sufficient magnitude and persistence that they despite their Godless tyrannical and often evil spirited ways might come to know that there is a God, that life on Earth is short and to at all times seek to do that which is right.
@@sdevil7th people buying illegal stuff. It’s like if a drug dealer dropped 100 dollars but told you to keep it as a reward for reminding he dropped a 100 dollars.
It is called a bounty in software engineering world and is practiced by Apple and Google for years. Plus whitehat hacking and ethical hacking. The only thing is and it's important, proceeds from crimes are still theft, kind of like buying stolen goods on the street knowingly and then using it, etc. Honestly I feel for the man as a human. I guess he needed to get out from trying to impress people and perhaps do some philantrophy or make a deal with IRS and pay taxes to pave those awesome roads for bikes and housing projects, not a bad thing at all and you get more REAL love.
American law enforcement are litterally legally allowed to watch you get stabbed to death and do nothing. Police by law are not there to help you. They are in no way required to help anyone. First think to learn about cops. Don't ever trust a cop
I heard it goes into a pot and the money is used for different things. It was loosely tracked where the money is going, probably why politicians got rich within a few years.
I feel bad that all he wanted was real friends. But who calls the cops to report theft of stolen money?! 18:41 Proof that Trump supporters lack basic common sense.
Poor guy is going to get killed in jail. He actually did a great thing by stealing the money from drug lords and they put him in jail w/ the drug lords henchmen...
I definitely don't feel good about paying taxes and don't understand them very well unfortunately but they do pay for social services where I live and see the real impact in elderly friends.
Congratulations, you've outdone yourself. This video is one of the most impressive one-punch recovery moves I've seen in a while: the coding, the clickbait, the references from other channels/people... *Strong widget* just knows an opportunity to recover lost money when he sees one.
They’re also masked. The government was desperate to put an innocent behind bars and they succeeded. They also admitted that they track EVERYTHING, especially in regard to crypto.
I still do not understand why they arrested him! Any computer guy will do what zhong did. You play with software, codes, try all shorts of things. And at that time Bitcoin did not even have that much of a value.
*Strong widget* has some of the best content on this platform. This recovery was crazy and it feels like recovery just keeps getting better and better!
Jimmy is a hero who obtained the bitcoin the most cleanly. The government criminal thugs saw blood dollar signs, and preyed on Jimmy’s kindness. Give Jimmy the money back you thugs.
Jimmy earned a few hundred dollars worth of bitcoin at the time of the event. This is all he should be criminally liable for. And the error was due to an unsolicited seller error that he promptly disclosed to the seller and the seller confirmed the money was so small he allowed Jimmy to keep it. In what universe is this a crime? The only criminal here is the IRS. I'm genuinely interested to see any legal argument in favor of the government.
Man, this one hit me in the heart. She reminds me of my aunt, who is an incredibly giving person and donates more than anyone I know. Sometimes her kindness is taken of advantage of, and it makes my blood boil. Thank you guys for saving her $980,700. You dramatically changed her life for the better. The scammers don't stop after 1 success. Thank you, thank you, thank you Nicholas and *Strongwidget* on the internet team. You guys are heroes to me. I'm just so happy this dudes is coming back stronger than ever and i can't begin to express how excited i am for the future jobs. i love these guys so Dearly
yeah but he slipped up when he called the cops over $400k, it just makes 0 sense as to why he would call the cops and build a investigation over that little amount of money.
@@bhmediagroup9255how is it a sin? Is it bc humanity put it in a book to continue controlling people like you and stealing your life and people's money like you?
Honestly at the end of the day, it makes me so happy knowing you've lived your dream and are just doing what you want to do. No matter whether you quit or continue, i'll be cheering for you *Strongwidget* because of all the good you've done for myself and so many other people. Thank you.
He should not have contacted the police for his small loss. He could've still live in large right now. It's ironic how he robbed the silk road, and then he got robbed by the IRS. 😂
The only difference is that police would have needed an excuse for a warrant. The trail that led the IRS team to Zhang was completely unrelated to his report of theft.
he did not rob Silk Road. he reported a security flaw and was rewarded money for that. That is how a lot of internet security works LEGALLY, and this is how a lot of cybersecurity professionals earn the money. The government just did not care about the law here.
how is it that he stole something according to you? If you find someone's wallet on the street and the owner gives you a reward for finding it, are you a criminal? How is the situation any different?@@mareezy
Love this Dude! He's such a reliable and respected source. I love that he's so simple about things and we get to see that wholesome recovery . Loved this one, *Strong widget* ! Congrats!

@@jamie6387 chill dude, he took money off the silk road, which is operating in all kinds of illegal activities. he hasn't harmed anyone really and was only protective of his own stuff which most people can probably relate to
@@DavidKen878 I never called him fat I'm saying the only reason he'd have those friends and let them manipulate and use him like that is because he feels that's the only way he'll have mates, and the gym is a good way to get endorphins, not a comment on his wait bro, also are you saying exercise is a bad thing? Nah mate, it's good for you, you should try it sometime and not just spend all your time creating enemies for you to fight online to account for your lack of women
@@rentisme So you want him to go to the gym so he can get endorphins? 😂😂 Naw bro, don't try to spin it. Also, how am I "creating enemies and fighting?" You sound like a woman.
I feel so bad for him. No one even showed up to support him in court. Where was his family and friends?? All of those friends who he gave money to? He sounds like he’s a good person and just wants people who love and care about him in his life 😢😢. I can’t stand to see anyone sad and lonely.
Most people could not relate to him as he was on the spectrum and highly intelligent and he was not fortunate enough to meet people who understood him or were genuine to him. People always are out to use other people
He actually stole 50,000 Bitcoin which was valued at 600,000$. How Bitcoin skyrocketed in value overtime wasn't his doing, just sheer luck. What a nice guy btw.
Absolutely. Also, I wonder if they'd be so keen to go after him if Bitcoin was worth ZERO in 2021.. Surely they must value the "theft" of the Bitcoin at 2012 levels.
It's a miracle and I would testify, 110k bucks every 2weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church
Jimmy didn't hurt anyone. In fact, nobody came to claim their loss. He should be set free. Also, when he got those coins, they probably worth much much less. And he should be praised for helping to make down Silkroad.
The owner of those bitcoins is in jail for life -Ross Ulbricht, the creator and owner of ‘Silk Road’. The govt seized all bitcoin he had and apparently Jimmy had the rest. *Just giving you information.
The guy was on spectrum and abused in his childhood... my heart goes out for the poor guy who just needed a social interaction and friends, doesn't deserve jail time ❤
Poor Jimmy. He stole from criminals, and it's not like there were laws against it, especially since it sounds like he didn't cash most of it out. Dang Jimbo, why did ya call the cops? 😢😂
Canada Fed. froze bank accounts of those who simply DONATED a few dollars to the Ottawa protest, and invoked the Security Act immediately as a tool of control. Old man Trudeau must be spinning in his grave that his SON did this: he was a Constitutional lawyer whose proudest accomplishment was the return of the Charter from the Queen. God Save the King.
How Jimmy opened up to those agents you could tell he just wanted friends and help. Wish someone told him to buy a few properties and stash the BTC a bit better. Likewise, if you lose 400k you just call it a wash when you're worth billions.
@@IzzyIkigaiOr he didn't think they'd dig into what he did for a living. He just thought hed tell them hes a real estate agent and investor and thats that
2012 was the BTC value around 8$, so around $400k. He was stealing from a criminal website/organisation.... It is not good and not very bad at all, so don't blame Jimmy so much for that. Hopefully he can keep some BTC, at least the 5k what he got from the silk road creator. I think he is a good person with a very special character.

That money was spread amongst the pockets of powerful people in the government. I wouldn't be surprised if less than a billion found its way into coffers that actually benefit the people of America!
You don't get love just because you want it. Like respect, you don't buy it from people. I partly blame the parents for him turning out like a highly dysfunctional human being. Imagine having tons of money and yet he's miserable and still don't know how to find the right kind of love. Just shows that money doesn't make your problems go away if you're not mentally and emotionally stable.
There's a podcast about an Australian guy who discovered an infinite money glitch on an ATM, his story is a lot like this. There's videos about him on YT as well.
@a1tonee lol! The FTX owner is just conniving the scammer pretending to be dumb and irresponsible to escape from his responsibility from defrauding people who trusted his company. SBF wanted the spotlight and fed his ego and fame. Jimmy is different. He wants to be needed and be loved. Hence, spending money to party with everyone and give away his stolen money. It's just that while money can't buy everyone. At least in the end, there are people who actually appreciate his kindness and an old dog's loyalty. While SBF's cronies threw him under the bus.
Congratulations, you've outdone yourself. This video is one of the most impressive one-punch recovery moves I've seen in a while: the coding, the clickbait, the references from other channels/people... *Strong widget* just knows an opportunity to recover lost money when he sees one.
I actually feel sorry for Jimmy. He stole from criminals and didn't hurt anyone. Whereas SBF stole from average retailers and he pretended like he's doing everyone a favor.
This story makes me sad. The dude was bullied as a kid, but still was kind to people and only wanted to be loved. He stole from drug dealers and spent it on friends and making people happy. I know tons of people that would become super villains if they got the kind of money jimmy got.
Same thing too. And it’s very sad none of his family and friends appeared in court to give him support. Only a few wrote letters of support. You can tell from the faces of some of the investigators, including the local PD one, that they have a slight pinch of empathy for the man.
I mean, he isn’t FTX’s Sam Bankman Fried or Bernie Madoff. He just stole from a place which was used by criminals and unsavoury people for their illegal activities. He didn’t like cheat his friends and family.
Jimmy got what he deserved. He should of stuck to his confucius lessons he surely learned being Chinese. He embraced American capitalism and American culture. This is the result. It's all selfish, shallow and superficial. You can't buy real friendship. This is why majority of Triads left Hong Kong the moment it was given back to China. Criminals love the western system as its so easy for them to operate. Jimmy clearly hung out with triads. That's why he knew about that bitcoin exchange used by criminals. US law enforcement always playing catch up. The entire system does a terrible job with white collar crimes. It's designed like this for corporations to do whatever they want. Many Chinese criminals look at the US as a exit to a legitimate life after leaving China. They turn into your businessmen. It's not just China, it's the entire world of intelligent organized criminals. US is a perfect destination for them. Extreme capitalism works for them. This is why the US is losing against China. It can't even ensure their businesses operate with integrity or their justice system ensures safety of their citizens. China will out innovate the US. The US needs to revamp their system to improve the majority of lives for their citizens. It doesn't need to become exactly like China. Other countries still keep their democracy but they have policies which the people overwhelmingly support. For example, the US does not even have a national gun registration which majority of citizens support. There's so many things the US is behind when compared to other nations of similar caliber. For example, many in Europe. The income inequality in the US is extremely high! These are just examples proving policies in the US need changing to benefit the majority.

the IRS should be on this show being exposed to the largest heist and unlawful bully! If one would search "Victory Tax" they'd find that taxes were only for federal employees ONLY, citizens could contribute during war time to help financially but VOLUNTARILY ONLY! IRS are not agents their only administrators working for a foreign company.
@@oldrrocr there was, it was a movie based on metaphysical events that happened with America take over by a defacto monarchy corporation called UNITED STATES INC ACT OF 1871, movie was called Wizard of Oz
Jimmy called the police for help and not only did they never solve the crime, but they thoroughly destroyed his life taking the only things he had that gave him meaning (his dog and money). Never thought I'd feel bad for a thief, but the police are definitely the villains of this story
Wonder if the local pd were envious seeing Jimmy with all the cute girls downtown, while they couldn't get any. Makes sense why they went after Jimmy but not the people who stole from Jimmy. Small towns have very strong ties so I won't be surprised if the local pd knew who stole from Jimmy.
Today's Police, I call them Pig, is an OCCUPYING FORCE. Haven't you noticed no one is happy when the pigs show up. Twice I called the pigs for stolen property. One of which I SOLVED MYSELF!!! I found my property and who had taken them. Called the pigs to help me with the recovery, cos they always say, 'don't take the law into your own hands call and we'll help you. Long story short ,not only did they not arrest Dude, not only did they not recover my stuff, they managed to give away who had called the cops on the dude who claimed he had been to Pelican ZBdy this of that, and he took my picture for future reference I guess to do something to me later on. Standing there with the pig. I asked the Sheriff pig, ' aren't you gonna ask him why he took the picture. He said with a cold face ( my head was about to explode ,when I heard): 'Well that's the risk you take when you call us.
I really do have a question. For someone with less than $5,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach?
I've been trading by myself. I'm not really happy with what's going on, just few weeks ago I lost about $7,000 in a particular trade. Can you help me out or at least advise me on what to do?
I will advise you stop trading on your own if you keep losing. And i don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance from my personal financial advisor < Elizabeth Rose>
Stealing from crooks isn't stealing. Also, all the money that wasn't used activelly by him in any criminal activity, so money that landed on his lap and wasn't used on illegal drugs, weapons, etc. shouldn't be actually STOLEN by the government. If the government wanted the taxes on a crypto, that oscillates value so much and wasn't in the real world, I would call bs. Just tax him with the reasonable penalties over the coins he sold/cashed in and put him on a program to use his skills to actually get bad people. But no...let's just destroy his life over cryptocurrency he took from actual criminals. That just says to me Government can't be trusted to do anything really good for the people, just to maintain itself with power over people.

The feds stole from a dude who stole from criminals and who used the money to benefit him, his friends, and his local economy. The feds are the crooks here.

You should know by now the government only helps the bad people. You (Jimmy) steal from criminals, the government will make you pay. Criminal steals from the good guys, the government doesn't care. For the government to even allow,the criminals to claim their bitcoins back after is pretty crazy.
He arguably did the world a favor by hacking a bunch of hardcore criminals. If he would've hacked innocent people like the COUNTLESS crypto criminals in the world, that'd be a different story. But Jimmy hacked one of the worst organization that mankind has to offer. Props to his work honestly, he shouldn't get jail time.
I think the IRS, the NSA, the CIA, Homeland Security, FBI, or any other entity that deals with cybercrimes, or any crime in general should investigate avelution7133, hopefully i put enough words that this will match regular expressions and someone in the future will do just that. 😀

I pray that anyone who reads this get a successful money recovery in life. Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle overtime
but jimmy isn't a scammer, he just exploited a flawed system, still, bitcoin had no value at that time and even if he was convicted at that time, he won't be seriously punished.
Well yes even if you are innocent of any crimes you should always force the cops to get a search warrant and then have a lawyer present when speaking to them as well as enforcing the limited nature of the search warrants.
So let me get this straight. Jimmy was arrested and jailed for stealing from criminals. And on top of that his story is now public so all those criminals who may want revenge know exactly who to look for and exactly where to find him. Good job government, such heroes yall are.
When the government "confiscates" money and vehicles from drug addicts who are caught with even just a small amount of illegal drugs without proof that the money and vehicles being "confiscated" were acquired from profit of criminal activity and even when rogue agents of the government steal money from innocent people traveling in their vehicles with their hard-earned cash for legitimate reason, they don't think it's wrong because they legitimized it by calling it CIVIL FORFEITURE. May be LICENSED TO STEAL is a more suitable description for what they do to those unfortunate people.
Isn't it ironic that someone who has been convicted of felonies of wire fraud for manipulating (spoofing) trading in the precious metals and U.S. Treasury markets, essentially a thief who stole money from legitimate investors, got invited into the White House to discus the financial future of the USA?

Who was this victory for? who were they looking out for? Oh and what an horrible person Zhong was, spending money in the local economy, being generous, god so glad they got him.

@@scholaroftheworldalternatehist depends on what someone's definition is of "coming back." Ppl like him are hired all the time after they've found loopholes or some way to hack extremely complex and encrypted systems. He could make a very comfortable living from countless billion $ corporations or the feds for that matter. Because for every person who has multiple degrees and got into this business to make a legitimate living, there will always be those who have the same educational backround or are simply smarter with no formal education whatsoever and use their knowledge for ulterior motives.
That's what in an ideal world he should have done, but his social desires impeded him. Kind of a shame for him because all he needed to have done is being more pushy with at least a handful of some of his "friends". Instead, it seems he felt wealth alone would definitively buy him meaningful relationships.
When you give a lame ass nerd billions of dollars he going to fulfill all the desires that he couldn’t get before he had that money. Impressing girls, having friends. Had this been a guy who had friends and the affection of girls growing up he maybe wouldn’t have gotten caught.
That’s not the government’s money it was Jimmy’s. He did the work, he found the flaw, it wasn’t worth much back then. Now the government wanted it all. Wow!
It may be crazy but I feel so sorry for him. You could tell just by looking at him he’s a lonely guy. I don’t understand how the police could find evidence for his illegal activities so swiftly but can’t find who stole his money!? He stole from criminals, then the government stole from him… what a sad story about a lonely guy trying to buy friends 😢
Every person in this story is a criminal in my book. Ross Ulbrich, the dealers on the Silk Road, Jimmy, AND the Government. But, like everything else, the Government won, so we get their Narrative.
Yeah, there are a lot of us losers out here like Jimmy lol. Anyway, the police only cared about solving the Silk Road portion of the investigation. The Silk Road and Bitcoin was and is a gigantic embarrassment to the entirety of law enforcement and the establishment worldwide. The promotions and accolades for the crony cops here came with solving anything related to Silk Road, most importantly with the payday for government coffers. They never cared about helping Jimmy or anyone. They only cared about saving face and cashing in themselves. Joke to say anything else. They should be so proud of themselves 🙄 Please
they shouldn't have taken the bitcoin either. cos although initially stolen, Ross told him to keep it for helping him discover a flaw. So it was payment for pentesting.
@@NazoSemerjian You really dont know much about these types of cases. Theres a ton of cases involving large sums of money where they get off on probation or scott free. He stole money that was earned illegally, it's not the same.
@@NazoSemerjian its wasnt against the law to steal crypto from criminals. And also there could have been many ways to swing this story considering his background. His attorney was trash. Now he is a 29/30 year old with federal charges on his record and no money

It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

Jimmy should have got a medal and not jail time. He co-operated and made US government very rich. Not to mention he could be put to good use with law enforcement solving bitcoin crime and identifying flaws in the system.
Jimmy takes money from criminals and gives to the community… police take from criminals and use it to find out how to make more criminals out of the community .
He has 3b and calls the cops to report a theft of a fraction of that… who does that?!? Umm… somebody who wants to report theft in their community… Meanwhile…. The neighborhood is still having break ins and thefts, cops decided not to peruse that case now that they all got a pat on the back and got to screw over another kid they were jealous of. B/c u know… NOBODY in the community can be cooler than the cops think they are.
jimmy got paid extra 5000 for his handwork for years and programming skill not because of abusing people or from any illegal work. the fact that they paid him extra to reveal the flaw makes him a programmer not a criminal, if a criminal come to your grocery shop or bakery and take bread do you have any concern where from he got the money. you have given him something in exchange for money. and the fact that nobody came in front claiming damages caused by jimmy totally free him from any responsibility. people lost many gems in history, whoever found has total authority over that asset that's justice. jimmy has nothing to do with slikroad and their business and clients. He is a nerd freelancer. Got paid for his work and skills.
I don't care how great a friend you think someone is. You never ever let them know how much money you have, and you definitely don't let them know where you keep hundreds of thousands in cash stashed.
Poor guy never had friends growing up, so he never learned the smaller lessons like that. Everyone involved lied to him just to steal his money. From Jimmy's "friend" that robbed his house to the police that had no interest in ever solving the robbery, just taking all his money. It's a wild story when the thief is the one with the moral high ground
I wouldn’t bother taking 40K from someone- That could be someones life savings and I still gotta look at myself in the mirror everyday for life when that 40k is soon gone. But with 400K I could avoid mirrors for years
And thats why America has a bunch of mass shootings. Those people are lonely and fed up with society. And it seems like loneliness in this country is only going to get worse.
I like how the police are patting themselves on their backs for “solving” this crime even though Jimmy gave them all the answers with no resistance. 😂 They probably think they deserve promotions 🤡
Watch CNBC’s Eamon Javers in his new documentary about a Russian insider trading gang stealing from investors on Wall Street, and the spies who played a role: ua-cam.com/video/J4kWugbH4qo/v-deo.html
Nah.
See, this is why the government in its entirety is such a dispicable entity. Okay this guy did something wrong, (sort of at least, yet I never heard anyone crying about money stolen from drug dealers and human traffickers. he was kind of like robin hood, stealing from actual criminals, thus making the world a bit safe, although for selfish reasons. anywayyyyy), he was the reason the government collected billions of dollars and they didn't bother to uphold his rights as a citizen and solve the crime committed against him. What, it would have cost more than 3 billion dollars to solve this crime? They couldn't have used the exact same techniques they used against him to trace the perpetrator?
But y’all want Silk Road to run in the long run like y’all outta pocket
For the record not everything on Silk Road was illegal. It's a factual error to report otherwise.
I just feel there's something unfair about everything that happened to him. Took money from criminals, the government took the money from him and send him to jail. Feels like the government is the villain in this story.
Whatever, Jimmy lived a crazy life and he just has to spend a year in prison.
It's true, the government is ran by Satan! You need Jesus to bring justice! Unfortunately, Jimmy wasn't worshipping Jesus, so he wasn't saved from Satan! But also, if Jimmy were worshipping Jesus, he'd have to pay tithes! Rich people typically don't worship Jesus, so they're just pretending to be good people while sabotaging the world! Jimmy was a lonely loser because he was selfish, and was vulnerable to the world.
He is just another Chinese criminal 😂. Apparently you people have never lived around this culture or you wouldn't be sorry for him at all!
I agree, the villains were completely the IRS and FBI
Yep to the Government and the bigger picture we're all expendable for their cause
This story of Jimmy reminds me of the saying, "Don't steal, the government hates competition!"

Do not die with a Will in Austin TX use Right of Survivorship. Some Thieves wear Suits !
Pray for Judge Guy Herman. DEMOCRAT.
Probate Court Scam, Theft Alert . A Mom and daughter both own, each one half of 15 tree covered acres with two houses, each have No Debts. Austin, Texas built a Formula 1 Race track and Music Concert and Events Center across the hiway and as visitors exit the Main Entrance across the street that tree covered, undivided, 15 acres has 2 homes on it. The Mom died leaving a Signed notarized and double witnessed Will stating that the Mom's house and property is Not to be SOLD. The Mom, always a good Judge of character, met the new neighbor Developer and said that man is no good and no good will come from him. The "Honorable" "Ethical" Probate Court Judge Guy Herman replaced the Named Trusted Loyal Executor who would Not SELL , with the Austin, Texas, Travis County taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer's "Ethical" Attorney as Administrator who that day Contracted to SELL the Debt Free Estate likely valued at $500~800k to maybe a high of $3,000,000, due to the location (2023 Austin area property tax is $150,000 per acre $150k x 7 1/2 acres= 1,125k), to the Taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer for $60k claiming SELLING the DEBT FREE House and 7 1/2 acre Estate (half of the family's Undivided 15 acres) is BEST for the Family. The Will gives the Executor and now by law the Administrator the power to SELL or Not SELL and to SET the price if needed with only a low price Limit and NO UPPER Limit. By removing the Named in the Will Loyal Trusted Executor the HONORABLE Guy Herman made the Estate Defenseless , and has Stolen (at a cheap price) this Mom's house. To maintain Control, Judge Guy Herman refused to permit a Trial by Jury. Because the Named Trusted Executor complained soo much another "Ethical" Judge, Daniel Prashner , stepped in and said he reviewed the Probate Court case and said he would Court Order a SELL at $60k. Probate Court is a Brotherhood of Snakes . The Velocity Project Developer already has 100+ bull dozed flat acres to the side and 70+Millions of dollars and teams of "Ethical" lawyers but he doesn't have that Mom and daughter's place at the Main Entrance. Don't Die with a Will , do "Right of Survivorship" and avoid Probate Court's Legal "Ethical" Theft for the Good of the Debt Free Family Scams . DEBT FREE means No Need to SELL. How much Safer would you feel sleeping knowing that this Developer bought half of your Family's homestead for $60k by Court Order.?
As visitors exit the Main Entrance of the Formula One Racetrack, Concert Events Center and Amusement Park the tree covered property directly across the street is the tree covered, undivided 15 acres where the Mom and Daughter's 2 Houses are. The 100+ acres of bull dozed land beside the Mom and daughter's Homestead is owned by the Travis County taxpayer funded Developer of the Velocity Project, operating as 10+ LLC companies who want to put in Retail and housing.
Do not die with a Will , Use a Right of Survivorship or Pass on Death filed at the Courthouse prior to death. So the Ethical Judge and State Bar of Texas Ethical Attorneys can't Steal your Property.
Father Jehovah, they by the offices they hold represent Thy Hand here upon this Earth and as such they should be held to a higher level of accountability than that of the people they are here to serve. Father Jehovah, I ask that You hold back Thy Mercy, stretch forth Thy Hand, spare not Thy Rod and correct those that are in positions of authority with sufficient magnitude and persistence that they despite their Godless tyrannical and often evil spirited ways might come to know that there is a God, that life on Earth is short and to at all times seek to do that which is right.

That narrative is being claimed by Jimmy - it's unlikely to be true.

@@Shawnjohson1608 well said, I sided with Jimmy too
It is called a bounty in software engineering world and is practiced by Apple and Google for years. Plus whitehat hacking and ethical hacking. The only thing is and it's important, proceeds from crimes are still theft, kind of like buying stolen goods on the street knowingly and then using it, etc. Honestly I feel for the man as a human. I guess he needed to get out from trying to impress people and perhaps do some philantrophy or make a deal with IRS and pay taxes to pave those awesome roads for bikes and housing projects, not a bad thing at all and you get more REAL love.
All I learnt from this well produced piece is even when innocent don't trust law enforcement or let them into your house without a warrant.
You are a good student.
Get a good criminal lawyer. Preferably a very good former district attorney. They know all the dirty tricks law enforcement use.
American law enforcement are litterally legally allowed to watch you get stabbed to death and do nothing. Police by law are not there to help you. They are in no way required to help anyone. First think to learn about cops. Don't ever trust a cop
Police is not your friend..
I learnt that don’t call cops on a stolen $400k when you’ve $3.3 billion of stolen money.

Congratulations, you've outdone yourself. This video is one of the most impressive one-punch recovery moves I've seen in a while: the coding, the clickbait, the references from other channels/people... *Strong widget* just knows an opportunity to recover lost money when he sees one.
Biggest crime he committed was to trust the government 😢
They’re also masked. The government was desperate to put an innocent behind bars and they succeeded. They also admitted that they track EVERYTHING, especially in regard to crypto.
He was giving his friends 10k with no strings attached like lmao, already has my sympathy
But money shouldn't buy friends. That's why they stole from him. He may have been a good guy, but he was going about it the wrong way.
I still do not understand why they arrested him! Any computer guy will do what zhong did. You play with software, codes, try all shorts of things. And at that time Bitcoin did not even have that much of a value.
“Friends”
@@bladerunner53 if it still didn't have much value, then they wouldn't have batted an eyelid.

If Bitcoin value had never seen a meteoric rise, the government wouldn't have even given Jimmy a warning.

@@MetalSlimeDrummer he deprived other criminals and drug users. So it's a "murderer that murdered all other murderers" situation
Jimmy earned a few hundred dollars worth of bitcoin at the time of the event. This is all he should be criminally liable for. And the error was due to an unsolicited seller error that he promptly disclosed to the seller and the seller confirmed the money was so small he allowed Jimmy to keep it. In what universe is this a crime? The only criminal here is the IRS. I'm genuinely interested to see any legal argument in favor of the government.
@@DominikPlaylists kleptocrats
While watching the whole documentary I had only one question, “DID THEY FIND THAT GUY WHO STOLE JIMMY’S MONEY??????” That’s why he called you!
Nope, they got $3b worth of bitcoin and probably kept some personal cash for themselves , they don’t care
I was livid reading they put no effort into finding who stole from Jimmy.
It was the government from the start. It was all a setup
Maybe it was them who stole 4000000 so they could investigate him.
Police probably stole it themselves to later investigate him.

Huh
He should not have contacted the police for his small loss. He could've still live in large right now. It's ironic how he robbed the silk road, and then he got robbed by the IRS. 😂
The only difference is that police would have needed an excuse for a warrant. The trail that led the IRS team to Zhang was completely unrelated to his report of theft.
he did not rob Silk Road. he reported a security flaw and was rewarded money for that. That is how a lot of internet security works LEGALLY, and this is how a lot of cybersecurity professionals earn the money. The government just did not care about the law here.
He didn't get robbed by the IRS. Criminals don't get robbed when they have to give the police back whatever they stole
how is it that he stole something according to you? If you find someone's wallet on the street and the owner gives you a reward for finding it, are you a criminal? How is the situation any different?@@mareezy

Only if all proceeds go to jimmy. I’m happy to think jimmy could start a UA-cam once he gets out, and can still do well.
@a1tonee lol! The FTX owner is just conniving the scammer pretending to be dumb and irresponsible to escape from his responsibility from defrauding people who trusted his company. SBF wanted the spotlight and fed his ego and fame. Jimmy is different. He wants to be needed and be loved. Hence, spending money to party with everyone and give away his stolen money. It's just that while money can't buy everyone. At least in the end, there are people who actually appreciate his kindness and an old dog's loyalty. While SBF's cronies threw him under the bus.
Damn, everyone benefited from Jimmy, including law enforcement and the government.
The term is "exploited".
I kinda feel bad for him honestly.
@@skeptical_thinkersthat fits perfectly with what they all did to Jimmy 😢
@@skeptical_thinkersthat has the same meaning in this context. They benefited at his expense
It’s odd the State decided to investigate money stolen from drug dealers on the dark web? Makes you wonder…
Congratulations, you've outdone yourself. This video is one of the most impressive one-punch recovery moves I've seen in a while: the coding, the clickbait, the references from other channels/people... *Strong widget* just knows an opportunity to recover lost money when he sees one.
I actually feel sorry for Jimmy. He stole from criminals and didn't hurt anyone. Whereas SBF stole from average retailers and he pretended like he's doing everyone a favor.
If that's what he did, he will prolly be recruited by the fbi. But he isn't very smart.
facts
Those criminals he stole from are people too. Maybe he should apologize to them in person or be made to do so.
who is SBF?
sad such a smart guy turned into a fat greedy idiot he could of had it alllll
This story makes me sad. The dude was bullied as a kid, but still was kind to people and only wanted to be loved. He stole from drug dealers and spent it on friends and making people happy. I know tons of people that would become super villains if they got the kind of money jimmy got.
Same thing too. And it’s very sad none of his family and friends appeared in court to give him support. Only a few wrote letters of support.
You can tell from the faces of some of the investigators, including the local PD one, that they have a slight pinch of empathy for the man.
I mean, he isn’t FTX’s Sam Bankman Fried or Bernie Madoff. He just stole from a place which was used by criminals and unsavoury people for their illegal activities.
He didn’t like cheat his friends and family.
this reminds Joker movie and how that character was formed from normal guy trying to do things right.
Pathetic is the word I'd use...
Jimmy got what he deserved. He should of stuck to his confucius lessons he surely learned being Chinese. He embraced American capitalism and American culture. This is the result.
It's all selfish, shallow and superficial. You can't buy real friendship.
This is why majority of Triads left Hong Kong the moment it was given back to China. Criminals love the western system as its so easy for them to operate.
Jimmy clearly hung out with triads. That's why he knew about that bitcoin exchange used by criminals. US law enforcement always playing catch up. The entire system does a terrible job with white collar crimes. It's designed like this for corporations to do whatever they want. Many Chinese criminals look at the US as a exit to a legitimate life after leaving China. They turn into your businessmen. It's not just China, it's the entire world of intelligent organized criminals. US is a perfect destination for them. Extreme capitalism works for them.
This is why the US is losing against China. It can't even ensure their businesses operate with integrity or their justice system ensures safety of their citizens. China will out innovate the US. The US needs to revamp their system to improve the majority of lives for their citizens. It doesn't need to become exactly like China. Other countries still keep their democracy but they have policies which the people overwhelmingly support. For example, the US does not even have a national gun registration which majority of citizens support. There's so many things the US is behind when compared to other nations of similar caliber. For example, many in Europe. The income inequality in the US is extremely high! These are just examples proving policies in the US need changing to benefit the majority.
Hi *Strongwidget.* To all you guys (male and female) that work so hard, putting a stop to the scams you can stop. I Thank each and every one of you.

Jimmy called the police for help and not only did they never solve the crime, but they thoroughly destroyed his life taking the only things he had that gave him meaning (his dog and money). Never thought I'd feel bad for a thief, but the police are definitely the villains of this story
Wonder if the local pd were envious seeing Jimmy with all the cute girls downtown, while they couldn't get any. Makes sense why they went after Jimmy but not the people who stole from Jimmy. Small towns have very strong ties so I won't be surprised if the local pd knew who stole from Jimmy.

Called the pigs to help me with the recovery, cos they always say, 'don't take the law into your own hands call and we'll help you.

He was actually a decent guy, sure he stole from crooks but at least he shared his wealth with friends, mad respect for him
Stealing from crooks isn't stealing.
Also, all the money that wasn't used activelly by him in any criminal activity, so money that landed on his lap and wasn't used on illegal drugs, weapons, etc. shouldn't be actually STOLEN by the government. If the government wanted the taxes on a crypto, that oscillates value so much and wasn't in the real world, I would call bs. Just tax him with the reasonable penalties over the coins he sold/cashed in and put him on a program to use his skills to actually get bad people.
But no...let's just destroy his life over cryptocurrency he took from actual criminals.
That just says to me Government can't be trusted to do anything really good for the people, just to maintain itself with power over people.

He arguably did the world a favor by hacking a bunch of hardcore criminals. If he would've hacked innocent people like the COUNTLESS crypto criminals in the world, that'd be a different story.

Yes indeed.
They are not your friends
Lesson learned, don’t steal in the first place. He who owes nothing, fears nothing.
So let me get this straight. Jimmy was arrested and jailed for stealing from criminals. And on top of that his story is now public so all those criminals who may want revenge know exactly who to look for and exactly where to find him. Good job government, such heroes yall are.
When the government "confiscates" money and vehicles from drug addicts who are caught with even just a small amount of illegal drugs without proof that the money and vehicles being "confiscated" were acquired from profit of criminal activity and even when rogue agents of the government steal money from innocent people traveling in their vehicles with their hard-earned cash for legitimate reason, they don't think it's wrong because they legitimized it by calling it CIVIL FORFEITURE. May be LICENSED TO STEAL is a more suitable description for what they do to those unfortunate people.

jimmy got paid extra 5000 for his handwork for years and programming skill not because of abusing people or from any illegal work. the fact that they paid him extra to reveal the flaw makes him a programmer not a criminal, if a criminal come to your grocery shop or bakery and take bread do you have any concern where from he got the money. you have given him something in exchange for money. and the fact that nobody came in front claiming damages caused by jimmy totally free him from any responsibility. people lost many gems in history, whoever found has total authority over that asset that's justice. jimmy has nothing to do with slikroad and their business and clients.
