      How do you think hacking works? Kevin Mitnick was the original hacker and 90% of what he did was "social engineering". Like he basically dug through the garbage behind a telephone company and found an early prototype cell phone. He called an office and pretended to be a tech trying to get it working for some bigwig manager. They gave him all the codes. So he had free cell service decades before cell phones were a common thing. (Paraphrasing a lot but seriously, most hacking is social.)

    I think a majority of scammers, or at least I'd hope that, don't actually ENJOY scamming people. Only that the money is SO LUCRATIVE and the risk is so relatively loe, that they kinda CAN'T take it. They got bills to pay and whatnot. It sucks, and they should be punished, but I totally understand it tbh.

      From what I've seen and heard from people that run these scams, they feel that the marks deserve it somehow for not understanding its a scam. That, or in the case the scam being run is the kind where the mark thinks theyre commiting a minor crime themselves, see themselves as punishment for people who only PRETEND to be moral but will commit a crime if they think they can get away with it.

    amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor."

      @@angusmatheson8906 putting yourself in the shoes of a movie character doesnt make you a sociopath. I really doubt he has ASPD the guy just sounds like your typical american wantroponeur. Individualistic for sure but he shows regret and guilt which is something hard to fake if he couldnt experience empathy
