Bringing Down the Revenge Porn King: Hunter Moore | Fakes, Frauds & Scammers

- When James McGibney discovered the ‘king of revenge porn’ Hunter Moore, he instantly hated him. While planning how to take him down, a member of Anonymous contacted James and offered to team up.
Hunter Moore was then known as the ‘Internet’s most hated man’, and his infamous site was where men went to post revenge porn photos of women, alongside identifying details like their addresses and social media profiles - setting the women up to be harassed and shamed on and offline.
After pretending to be Hunter’s friend, James managed to buy Hunter’s site from under him, bringing down the 'most hated man on the internet’.

A perfect example of Anonymous wearing their chaotic good hat. Donating his cash to battered women shelters was pure poetry.
@@DeyRapingEveryone They appropriated his funds against his will. Information was acquired, stolen, and manipulated for a cause.
Why do you not believe this is possible?
@@DeyRapingEveryone you have no clue how powerful anonymous is 😂
Poetic justice, one might say
Anonymous is the feds
And vice wearing thier slow hat idiots just promoted him so they can push thier no free speech online.
“As a white male, who is extremely good looking” killed me 😭💀💀
Relatable 😏
He delulu fr
Relatable 💯
Well he is a white male
I fell off my chair! Good looking? I mean if one finds beady-eyed rodents good looking then sure, he's the hottest rodent around 🤣
The most disgusting thing that Media and big stations have interviewed him, gave him a space to speak, and gave him the publicity and advertisement in a way it looks like they were encouraging him..
Exactly!
Exactly.
And they way they were so careful with him like he had some sort of right they didn't want to infringe on. It's no surprise we are where we are today. They multiply faster than we can fix them.
Totally agree with you there. Sadly this isn't uncommon, there was a case in Brazil (I believe) in the 90's where a young girl and 2 of her friends were taken hostage by her ex boyfriend in her parents home and because the media was swarming and communicating with him, it delayed the rescue for like 2 days. It's an absolute WILD story, he even manages to recapture one of the hostages at one point. Nick Crowley just recently did a video on it, i highly recommend yall check it out :)
Who would laugh along with “I’ll Eff your wife and make the kids watch” Men need to hold other men accountable for this type of speech
Ya that comment alone should of gotten him the chair
straight up, it’s weird and desperate and reeks of insecurity. no one who actually likes themselves would desperately fish for validation like that from others, especially other men. major inferiority complex here
Forreal…wtf despicable.
srsly
Pretty sure men did, both James and the group Anonymous. Now, if women could just hold some lying gold-diggers accountable like those who try to ruin the lives of pro athletes.
I want to say thank you to James. When I was 19 years old I had photos hacked from my personal email and put on Hunter's website. I was humiliated. I went to lawyers and law enforcement asking for help or what could be done, but at the time there was nothing available to charge him. I eventually let go of the embarrassment it caused me and realized it was removed from the web and turned into an anti-bully website. I had no idea who was behind it. Thank you again, so much.
I'm sorry that happened to you, glad you're on the other side of it now.
Power to you ❤
That's terrible, I'm glad they put a stop to it before even more people could see. You didn't deserve that!
Sending love and good vibes to you all the way from England 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm sorry that happened to you! Lots of love from Denmark
Never heard of this clown until this video but I'm glad this guy's despicable behaviour was brought to light and to justice. Thank you for your service, James.
And shoutout to anonymous too
Sad thing is i belive there is more People like him
Same
Justice? 4 yrs? That isn't justice....the only justice for ppl like this is street vengeance....that's it..open n shut...for instance. Wats the first thing u do when the guy who raped ur family member goes to jail? ....u go bail him out! .....

Anytime I feel like I’m a horrible person I hop on vice and realize that there’s someone worse out there
Exactly!
Well considering Vice is a lying propaganda website that smears innocent people I'd say you're on the money
yeah...
So true! You worry about the things you've said or did to hurt someone and wish you weren't so careless. Or the things you should have done to help someone in real trouble but didn't... And then you see this and you're like "Wow. At least I care and try to do better. This guy's evil!" lol
eh I would still take a long look at yourself if you feel like a horrible person. Every one of can use some self reflection and improvement.
It's very rare for me to say this, but I hope Hunter will have to live the rest of his life, looking over his shoulder. He deserves that.
What an awful & despicable human being.
Same... I rarely wish anything negative on anyone but he needs to be humbled desperately.
he moved to Columbia , so he’s chilling like villian
He’d have to have a conscience for that. He really shows no remorse even now.
Hunter Moore is a sociopath. But what is equally, or even more disturbing was/is his massive fan base. What it says, primarily about young men, living amongst us today is truly terrifying.
Honestly i saw his educational series on youtube. It was actually hilarious af, if he ever decided to start streaming he would probably be big. Hes like an earlier version of adin ross. FUNNY AND UNCUT AF
This dude deserves anything bad that happens to him. There is no reason to be this evil.
He's a convicted sex offender now. He's gonna be on the sex offender registry for the rest of his life because of the severity.
Yeah he's sick in the head mate
He didn’t really do anything wrong. People need to be aware of the consequences of their actions
@@Weldor123 are you 5?
@@Weldor123 cults arent okay
I love how anonymous wanted to target his websites funding, only to find out this guy makes zero money and is an even bigger loser than they previously thought.
🤣😂😂
He currently lives with his mom. 😂
@@hotcarl3854 Wouldnt he be sued though
@@hotcarl3854 I know you're not defending him, but how come he got the money despite making no revenue from the nudes?
@@hotcarl3854 Got to admit though, as much as he is evil I also consider him to be a genius, since he literally got away for so many years because there were no laws against what he was doing (exception being the hacking incident), well he lacks morality but certainly not intelligence, however not intelligent enough to avoid the consiquences. Though I wonder why he sold his website for the money and later on planning to open his webiste back, anything you know about that?
Mad, MAD props to James! But to be fair, he was one part of a multi-pronged search for justice. Charlotte Laws (the mother of one of Hunter's victims) deserves at least half of the credit for bringing Moore down. The woman was tenacious.
But James is still a badass. Hilarious that Hunter Moore sees himself as some kind of paragon of masculinity and power - James exudes that in spades, not least because of his respect for all women.
kinda mad they ignored her in this
Yeah it's like the guy saying on doctor Phil he single handedly brought down Andrew Tate. When it was much more powerful people than someone running a 501c3.
Spot on!
The most mind-blowing part is how long it took for the authorities to act. I thought it was illegal to post pornographic material without the consent of the people involved? Yet they called him for interviews and such??
@@kenfresno2125 That's horrible!
@@kenfresno2125 It's very sad to hear. I hope this never happens again. Moms are truly amazing!
@@kenfresno2125 Indeed! I would've loved to learn more about her.
@@kenfresno2125 wait a minute now James did what
@@kenfresno2125 . . . James removed the CP from the website as soon as he bought it. Were you not paying any attention? And the only reason why he paid Hunter was so that he could remove the CP. Apparently you would prefer for the CP to remain on the internet as long as you get to maintain the righteous high ground of not paying Hunter. How virtuous.
What disguts me even more is that there are millions of men like him, who were and are his followers and are equally worse.
Hats of to the courage and determination that James and his wife have.
@Deen Chaser no. No it’s not.
@Deen Chaser some. There are assholes in every walk of life. Generalizing is ignorant.
@Deen Chaser you are highlighting the exceptions. Every group attracts bad actors who seek to use the group as cover for their own bad behavior. That’s life though, you’re painting with a broad brush. Deen, we don’t agree, that’s okay. I do respect you arguing your point without name calling or insults.
@Deen Chaser 💯💯
Believe me.... plenty of women were using these sites back then too. I knew a bunch of warped tour kinda chick's that loved when punk band dudes got posted
I literally laughed out loud when he said how good-looking he is. So, he's an absolute monster AND completely delusional.
Right!
Disgusting looking! He literally looks like he reeks of weed and cheap beer 🤮
extreme insecurity underlies extreme shows of masculinity. Don't kill the messenger on this, it's just fact. overcompensation.
Good looking ?? 🤣
One of Trump’s “very fine people” I’m sure!
James is a legend. He is a hero alongside Charlotte and Anonymous. Thank you for holding people accountable and helping victims.
still pretty damn sad how the wife at the end just confirms james obsession, like cmon, hop on the dark net, drop some money and take him out, instead of just taking down his websites, thats like killing wasps but not doing anything about the hive... Pretty stupid to me, he seems obsessed w the dude and shutting him down, Just shut him down for life by putting him 6ft under its that simple
James is a hero. He was not being directly affected by this atrocity so he could have easily ignored like many do. Buuut he wanted to protect women like a real man does. In this one video you can see both sides of a man; the worst and the powerful.
and now hes obsessed with hunter and his whole family was influenced by it, pretty bad decision making tbh, shouldve just hired someone to take hunter out rather than leaving him alive
The fact he only got 2 years shows how fucked the earth and it's rules for justice are , protects crime more than people
And apparently he has a new website up, too. James is inadvertently making this guy money.
Gotta love tha system
Of course he did. White people get away with everything.
Oh bro dont worry now that this got brought back up its going to get even bigger and hunter is guna get baby sat.
Not earth. America...America is one fucked up country
I interviewed both Hunter Moore and James McGibney a few times in 2012 when I was working for Huffington Post's Tech vertical. In my phone conversations with Hunter Moore I really got the same impression that this video gives: none of this was an act. He really is just a deeply terrible human being.
Did anonymous actual "hack" credit cards?
I read alot about denial of service attacks, which media seems to include as hacking, did they actually hack accounts or find a credit card number on a pic on social media or something.
Like the death certificate part, I'm guessing they used Photoshop and email or telephone.
Could you post these audios on you tube?
@@seansimpson8758They used more coding/programming than "Photoshop and email" haha.
They acquired the information required to process these documents illegally. They forged them, but they weren't fake. So yes, the hacking part is true, though they completely glossed over how they committed fraud and a host of other illegal actions in order to hunt Hunter. Interesting how they never tackled that angle because when black hats become online batman vigilantes, we just accept any amoral process involved in their pursuit of their justice!
@@Ruintheus I don't think you give Photoshop, Email, Telephone enough credit 😉
Since I use my real name, I'm not going any further. LOL
@@seansimpson8758 no, I definitely know you can go pretty far with them. I dated a girl who went to art school and learned alongside her what she learned in her Photoshop class and spent a bunch of time shooping on chan.
James is such a gem thank you James
So he should be named Gemes?
Don't forget to say thanks to anonymous. They're real altruistic heroes here.
Love this guy. Shame that no agencies took this seriously. Wonder if they would feel so dismissive if it was one of their wives he targeted.
James never reported this to the FBI. He just kept scrolling through the CP every day and "pretending" to be friends with Hunter, before paying him $12,000 for a server full of CP. A mother of one of the victims contacted the FBI, and that's why Hunter went to prison.
I'm as mind-numbingly disgusted with Hunter as the next person, but I'm nearly as disgusted with the fact that there is/was a significant audience for the site. He is providing the platform. The public is providing the content.
Sadly that's the part that always get over looked... But then again the public is also the "looker"
Right?
Exactly. Problems are rarely tackled at the Demand side because it looks bad on society. Everyone want to find a scapegoat without taking responsibility. I admit I do this to an extent.
I knowwww, my mouth was agape the whole time. I couldn’t believe it
@@Rudyelf1 Once it reaches a certain threshold then there's a degree of mob mentality too. There's a Deron Brown special about it that shows the effect with a real audience, but it's the same force that results in football riots, or city riots that loot and destroy all the local shops. In which social justice makes people's morals and ethics more flexible than they would normally be. There's also the natural human inclination to gawk at car crashes and other disasters. I feel generally that the worst offenders were the early uptake when there was no popularity or competitiveness and peer pressure and it was purely a malicious action.
Once it hit critical mass much of the traffic would have likely been gawkers looking for someone they knew, so they're not really the problem. It's the people submitting photos and details and the one's that made it popular enough to essentially go viral amongst the disaffected young male population, mainly entitled white males who feel the world owes them a perfect girlfriend and as they can't have one then they'll gladly make sure no one else can enjoy one by any means possible. I'd imagine that most of them have narcissistic type personality disorders and even though a relatively small percentage of the population conforms to that that specification they tend to form around these nuclei.
The fact that he is still alive, and not got shanked by someone blew my mind. Never thought you can be that open with your despicable self
Agreed
Yes!
Probably because they all are predators
That’s why so many people call this world a patriarchy, men get away ! They just get away.
@@arohani good
I am so grateful for James's existence. I'm so thankful he has a heart for the innocent and the bullied. James is the epitome of a good man. I'm very thankful for his connection to Anonymous and their desire to stop Hunter Moore. And the very creative way in which they did that. Thank you!
James and Anonymous oh my goodness.... i bow down to you both and all. You guys have forever and undoubtedly gained a loyal standing subscriber and fan for the rest of existence. Words cant even begin to describe how i feel about you both and ur teams❤. Thank you so much for what u guys do!
We need more men like James.
May he get all the happiness and love he deserves.
Yes yes! Good will always win.
Big deal who cares people took those photos knowing what can and will happen
No wonder his wife so proud of him.
@@Weldor123 another d bag
James has been getting paid joining the ranks of the 1% saying hasta la vista peasants.
Huge respect to James and Anonymous. This Hunter guy is an absolute psychopath, I seriously cannot believe he wasn’t arrested earlier. My favorite part was when there was a certificate stating that Hunter was legally declared dead LMAO
Omg can you IMAGINE trying to explain to the court why you were considered legally dead and asking to have it stricken from the record? Just IMAGINE having to explain to dozens of people why your bank account was hacked, why your parents mortgage is being fucked with, why someone was so goddamn pissed with you that legally made you dead! That is just *chef's kiss*.
grace: And that has real life consequences. You tryto take mony out of your bank acount and they say "Oh no you don't. This acount has been frozen because ther guy who had it is dead now."
@@amysofia5783 i can promise you, it's worse than you think. once you are legally dead, you own nothing, people don't believe that you are you.. you get arrested accused of identity theft. everything you owned dissapears infront of your eyes, because even if you can show on pictures that it's you... you have no legal evidence. you're fucked for quite some time until all the paperwork to reverse this gets done. Still, he deserves worse.
James has to be one of the people I respect the most in the world. The world needs more people like you James.
nah the world needs a working justice system that prevents cocain addddicts from staying on the internet like that, just raid a house as soon as you see anything illegal going on on camera, james did good stuff but influenced his own family with it, how all of this went down is pretty sad, dude got on tv for posting revenge prn rather than being investigated sooner
One of the few videos I've seen that REALLY make me regain my belief in mankind... God bless this man that stood up to H.Moore and God bless Anonymous, and God protect the girls and boys abused by the creep in the documentary and his follower. Take care of yourself everyone, and have a blessed Easter. From Alv, Norway
God Bless this man for “adopting” this “bad kid” for LIFE and promising to hold him accountable for his actions and punish him accordingly! 👏👏👏👏
GG to Anonymus for backing this hero
I love what his wife said at the very end, smiling. It's like he's their rascally neighborhood hobo.
Well said :)
I dated someone JUST like this; he was an abusive narcissist. Definitely taught me that some people are just straight up bad people.
Let me guess he was more than appealing at first then slowly turned into a controlling yet perfect person that would constantly tell you what you’re doing wrong and I’m essence just make you feel bad about yourself, right?
@@GSXR90 exactly. There’s so much more to it too. Toward the end he started secretly doing meth (that’s when it got real abusive). I found out he was talking to an underaged girl and SA another while we were together. He’d call me racial slurs to his ex’s. Kidnapped me naked once. Dragged me with his car on Christmas.. I waisted my early twenties on this person constantly going through it. This was almost two years ago and I still have really bad PTSD 😕
@@ariatysonbey6386 just stay strong I’m not sure how you feel about God but there’s a ton of peace in his love if you don’t already have it, Nobody deserves that kind of treatment but in the end you can take a lot from it you can grow from it you can learn from it and you can thrive without it.
@@ariatysonbey6386 I'm sorry this happened to you. Remember, you deserve true love and respect in relationship. I hope you get better in time 🙏
Yes because they are rejected losers
James is what every person should aspire to be. Nothing to gain apart from putting a horrible person down. Bravo!
WOW ! Respect to James for what he is doing for the society, victim girls & their family. We need more people like him to make a better society for us & for the future of our kids. Appreciate Vice news for reporting this up.
When he said he was "extremely good looking" I had to pause and laugh for a second.
He is good looking. Disgusting person tho
Right!?!?! Dude looks like if Jimmy Kimmel's parents were siblings.
🤣🤣🤣
cracked up laughing
i was in shock 💀
i got put on this website when i was 15 after my boyfriend manipulated me into taking nudes for him. he was 19. i’m glad the site is gone.
Hope you’ve healed bae
Hope you’re doing way better hope he’s miserable as hell ❤️
watch people try to defend hunter
U gonna alright you better then that
hope you are doing fine now ❤
Thank you all for doing this amazing work ❤️🤟🏼
It’s so terrifying to watch the full story of Hunter as an adult. I have distinct memories of going through Twitter “after dark” as teenage and seeing him degrade, humiliate, and expose intimate photos of girls. I didn’t even know he (and the visitors of the website) hacked innocent people, posted their address, parents place of work, etc. The laws need to align with the illegal online activity to get perverts like him arrested, with no parole. It still baffles me how he was on live TV admitting to his crimes, but wasn’t arrested or questioned? This is the equivalent of him being a sex offender, sex trafficking, and having child p**nography. Abusers (and incels) like this need to be traced, followed, and tried in court. There’s so much evidence and the survivors deserve a chance to see him locked up!
I agree.
Ignoring something so obviously wrong is just makes Police look like a joke.
They have to do their JOB!
He lived with his parents while all this was going on? What a lightweight. I'm surprised some Dad or brother didn't track him down and tune him up. You know he can't fight a lick. Great job by this Avenger!!
Oh think the anti bully guy confronted him in the streets once and the revenge guy ran away
Im suprised he wasn't straight up shot in the streets. I was unstable af at 16. Something like this would have pushed me too far. Mans lucky to still have his life because what....that's why he really didn't mess with black girls.
Still time
Hopefully someone in the pen knows who he is what he’s done
Neither can 99.9% of the population.
Man has devolved into women the past 20 years

What are they gonna do find more pictures?
After seeing the documentary about this guy... I can't believe that he's still around.
I love the man who took the sight down. My god he needs to have a statue and way more credit. What a great man.
One of my ex coworkers had an ex put some of her pictures on that site when she was 16. She tried getting it taken down and nothing happened. Her mom went to the police and they just said my coworker shouldn't have sent those pictures and that it wasn't an actual child porn website so there was nothing to do 🤷🏼♀️
It wasn't until the website actually got taken down that all this fallout happened and suddenly the police were actually interested in who posted the pictures and whether or not to pursue child pornography charges on top of some other stuff; spoiler alert, the police just dragged their feet and ended up letting everything get stagnant after all the hype of these websites died down. It was fucking ridiculous that it took the police YEARS to even look into anything.
And they wonder why slogans like ACAB go around and faith in the police is non-existant in some places.
We can all say good cops get a rep from bad cops, but stories like this show problems in a system and an unwillingness to help people robbed of their dignity
Should have gone straight to the FBI not local yokel Police department.

I never heard of this hunter guy until now?, but i'm glad they stopped him.
The same goes for me. I've never heard of the guy, lol
Well think about it. It was 2012.We didnt have social media like we have now. If thats done today,its a wholeeeeee different storie. He probably would be gone by now. After today,this guy will get recognized easily on the street. He prob changed his name by now 😂🤣
This was over 10 years ago, I’m 36 and remember a little about the site and as a woman in my 20s back then I worried about myself and my friends but it wasn’t something wildly popular. I think social media has changed a lot in the past decade and bc of that it wasn’t as viral as it could’ve been. But I also think nowadays this wouldn’t be tolerated. A lot of people are sick of the narcissist behavior and people like hunter so they wouldn’t give him the platform now. I know there’s still revenge p**n sites that exist but now we have laws to protect people so that helps a lot.
@@Sara-xk1ns it was still pretty big at the time on twitter/Tumblr
It was early Twitter days
I thank the universe for people like James. Sometimes justice NEEDS to be taken into the hands of people like James and Anonymous because our justice system is not doing anything about it or cannot do anything about it.
james mcgibney is one hell of a guy, he and anonymous did an amazing thing here. i wish him and his family all the best things!!
Every time I’m in a break up one of the first things I do is delete all the inappropriate photos. Not only out of respect for my ex, it’s just the right thing to do.
I know this sounds paranoid, but when you take a picture on your phone and your phone is connected to the cloud (which it most certainly is) , anyone has access to it. It's not just about you keeping those photos or your partner having those photos, it's about someone else taking those photos from you unawares. Everyone believes that their phone is a secure device, but it is very much not.
If you really want nude photos, I would recommend purchasing a Polaroid camera and keeping them in a physical lock box. It's bizarre, but it is totally private from the larger world and protects you and your partner.
Thought I was weird for doing this.

"The only way for evil to prevail is if good men do nothing..." - Thank you James and to all of anonymous for taking down that scumbag from cyberspace. Huge thanks also for VICE for one of this huge service to all of mankind for raising awareness through these awesome documentation to such non-mainstream topics. Unfortunately Hunter's followers/ minions should be the next one to be monitored (tough to do but not impossible).
He didn't do anything of value. A mother of one of the victims contacted 19 other victims and took all of their information to the FBI. James did literally nothing of value. He looked at all of the CP on the site, and then paid Hunter $12,000 for the server full of CP.
@@kenfresno2125 No, he actually bought the domain. The data was somewhere else, don't know what happened to it, but James kept all the CP off his servers. He bought the domain name, then redirected it to his website. He shut the website down, effectively. That's something of value. Also, the mother contacted 40 other victims, so if you're going to criticize, at least get the numbers right of the person who you AREN'T criticizing for taking down the website.
Good work!!!
Good work!
his wife handled this interview like a total boss, absolutely respectful with a nice smile while getting her point across
You know neither of them did anything of value, right? Hunter was arrested because a mother of one of the victims went to the FBI. All James and his wife did was pay $12,000 for a server (James admits) full of CP.

Great Jobs James, it’s a shame sociopathic narcassists can commit so many crimes on others and walk away freely. Also scary not knowing what his delusional mind can bring him to do.
That’s how succeeds.
people like this are literally why we can't have nice things.
What's even sadder is there a lot of men like him that are getting punishment for the things they do

It is a Great Feeling to know there are folks like you to find the time and way to get him. Thanks.
Great job everyone and James - for taking up this endeavor
This happened to someone I know and when she contacted the police she was told that because it was a European site there was absolutely nothing they could do. It's awful and we NEED better law's to deal with this.... So happy that there's people fighting to get these site removed and having anonymous on their side is so awesome. Thank you to everyone fighting for this! You guys are true heros!
Maybe people should stop posting everything on the internet so the problem would be much lesser. On an Instagram guy with his kid on his profile, I saw comment "I wish to be whipped by you" in a particular fetish profile. His profile wasn't private. You could see him and his kids. That's the problem. I wonder if his wife know what her husband is posting on instagram lmao
@@kurrwa Do you want to know the kicker to my story, she never even sent him the picture, he bought her a new phone and offered to set it up for her and in the process, downloaded all her pictures and information on to his phone as well.... That's the scariest part, even if you decide to never send pictures people can still sometimes get ahold of them. That's why victim blaming is never a good coarse of action.. there's so many different ways this can happen and I don't think people fully realize this. While I agree people do post some awkwardly personal information online, they choose to share that information.
@@kurrwa are you dumb or slow? People didnt post their nudes online, they were texted to bfs and gfs (who became exes) that wanted “revenge” and posted their photos online. I hope you have enough brain cells to comprehend that 🙄

It wasn't a European site. As a matter of fact, in Europe this will get you arrested in a day.

TRUELY AMAZING WORK PUT IN BY JAMES
Unbelievable. So so sad that there are people like that in this world, and even sadder that he had so such a prominent following… thank you James for all your work
but its also so bueatiful that groups like anonymous exsist to fight it
@@egangray5590 u mean the feds
This is so horrid. I hope the men,and women,who had their pictures posted on a website without their consent, are able to find closure somehow. This is too disgusting.
That punctuation though
I honestly never cared, but I'm a male so that might be why lol
@@Ro7ard well there are some males who got their address leaked in the website
Not to bum you out - but.. We’ll never get closure. This kind of stuff stays with you for life unfortunately. You just kinda move on and pray it doesnt happen to anyone else…. I’ve become a huge proponent of privacy since. I try to share my story when I can, in hopes itll help younger girls be more careful on the internet because sadly these predators will always exist.
@@Ro7ard So you only care if something affects you. Pretty sure that's a sign you are a sociopath or a narcissist
It's because of people like James and Anonymous that I am still able to have some faith in humanity!
We need more men like James. God bless him. 🥺♥️
Absolute disgrace to humanity.

I was around 18 was isanyoneup came to fruition. My underage photos were posted on a revenge website similiar to / inspired by isanyoneup. Im 25 now and Hunter Moore’s name still makes me upset. He’s given so many people so much trauma… the “best” years of my life as a young woman were spent getting doxxed and stalked and harassed. I hope he gets every last bit of everything thats coming to him.
I am so sorry you went through that. That sounds absolutely terrifying. I agree with you - hunter moore is a monster
im so sorry i hope you are healing well
Love u James, the world need more people like u, thank u for ur service protecting our young girls...love from Malaysia😘😘
Thank you so much James, youre the 1% of men we hold out hope for everyday, the 1% thats good to the core. the EXTREMELY rare guy who looks out for women, respects us, humanizes us and is truly concerned for our safety, thank you for your work and Anonymous too

I want to get this but I don’t know the reference..can someone explain
@@C.U.N.TahitiIts a goodfellas reference
@@Sk-ft4ox thank u! I’ve seen the movie a few times but don’t remember that part. Thanks for filling me in
I get what you are saying, but remember, the guy who said the shine box line ends up dead. (As does the pesci’s character, but much later.)
James deserves a donations page for what he did. I would be happy to donate a few bucks his way. Great job James and to anonymous as well.
But he lied saying he single handedly brought him down when it was the lawyers wife and CIA who did.
There's a really good documentary on Netflix about this.
It's so horrible that someone would go out of their way to hack other people and invade their privacy without caring about their lives being ruined, this man has zero ocompassion
"extremely good looking" >_> where he get that idea from?
It’s weird they had this man on the news doing interviews. Should’ve immediately had this taken down and him charged.
What a disgusting person. To ruin someone’s life just for fun is horrific. ESPECIALLY underaged girls. I don’t understand people like this 😣
Not that this excuses his behaviour. But he lived under his parents roof, this narcissistic behaviour was learned & normalized to him. His behaviour is anti-social & is maladaptive which indicates earlier trauma. Victimized children often grow up victimizing others unless an outside influence intervenes to show another way & to break the learned cycle of abuse.
You need to also blame those who posted on the website and those who went on his website. Hunter is the kingpin but he only created a platform for the millions of sickos out there
You should read through the comments here there are several hunter sympathizers who are trying to point out legal issues I hope they get Covid
@@jonathanse8977 Its hard to sympathize with such people. I was also a sheltered child raised by ultra religious, over protective parents and I certainly did not come out like that. I would describe myself as a sensitive and empathetic person. That guy is nothing like me. That guy probably has mental problems from birth because his mum dropped him when he was a baby.
@@saladdressing2176 Shall we go through his childhood & yours to compete for abuse?
Psychology doesn't work this way. Each person in their formative yrs will react different & to the different types of abuses they sustained. Sorry to hear abt your experiences, but your experiences (and the way u handled them) are your own.
I also prefaced "this isn't an excuse", b/c he ultimately victimized & abused other ppl making his pain other people's pain.
You do great work keep it up
I love Vice cause their editors are fucking amazing. Cheers bruv.
What a vile person! I can't believe the site wasn't able to be taken down sooner (by authorities) and it instead took a team of civilians. Thank God James and Anonymous took an interest in what was happening.
Oh, and the fact that his parents let him rock. DISGUSTING! He was very public about it all so they knew about it and supported him.. Tf?!
I'm really confused with why it's people like James and Anonymous are the one on frontline dealing with the situation and not the authorities?
Is this legal or normal to be overlooked by the authorities?
Because authorities have conditional relations with these monsters. Who's not to say they are the ones who fund the authorities? There's already a lot of corruption in this world so it's plausible.
well back then there wasn’t really any laws regarding revenge porn ig that’s why
Because it’s legal
Exactly… fbi ?? Police !??
@@meganharris583 it’s not. He stole the pictures by hacking. Hacking people is illegal. It’s also illegal to post minors. It’s also illegal to dox people by posting their addresses
he thought he was extemely goodlooking? 🤣😂
That lady has such a wonderful husband, i love his compassion and genuine concern for other's, clearly anonymous seen the same thing in him hense why they reached out to him. Proud of them all for keeping people a little safer.
Damn, I cannot believe how lenient the sentence was for him!! That's not right at all, on top of all the website crap he did, the fact you have recordings of terroristic threats, what was the name of this Judge? Is Hunter the son of some kind of authority figure or something? Like is his mom a district attorney or something along these lines? He strikes me as a very spoiled child, who has no fears about repercussions for those actions for some underlying reason. Just my initial guess, idk this is the first I have heard of this clown.
Millionaires/ billionaires pay for children in the US & the world. After all , Jeffery Epstein didn't hang himself.
Neither did his accomplice in France who was jailed. Beyond Maxwell, who of importance went to jail?
@@jonathanse8977 yes exactly great points but that's why it doesn't make sense that Hunter is poor and broke with nobody behind him, he clearly does have someone or something behind him!
@@atmosrepair That is a fair assertion. With the state of the judicial system, u are prob right!!
@@jonathanse8977 he flashes cash, cocaine, and will openly make terroristic threats of violence, rape, etc. Posts incriminating photos of himself on Twitter. Wound up getting extremely light sentence, and his cell mate is a new buddy working with him to make a new site? In my mind this guy is either working with law enforcement himself, or has the support of very powerful people. Perhaps I am wrong, but something here doesn't add up.
@@helixrelicsshow9651 people killed themselves and then the terroristic threats on recording. I know people who have the book thrown at them for way less....
When he said " extremely good looking" as a Black woman I'm so good on that. Don't pity me ,bro.
He wanted women to kill themselves, men like him literally hate to see women happy and living their life.
Because it’s something internal he lowkey hates himself
Lol
I feel for this host and Anonymous! I just saw some of the first episode of Netflix's documentary of Hunter and I was outraged. I was sexually abused by two women when I was a child and the aftermath is heartbreaking and torture and all your trying to do is get on with your life in the present moment with your loved ones and people in general. You're emotionally responsible self is just fighting the abusers individual pain that they inflicted on you and outsiders are treating you like you're a liability all because of the abuser. Even with the help! Hunter glorifies this and he needs death row I'm sorry to say because I have met soulless behaviour but not to this extent! It's just not part of the Code of Humanity no matter what.
are you a man?
Wow, thank you Anonymous & James for your continued service.
I feel bad for his Mom. Imagine how that home life has to be to put up with that kind of behavior from your son. Oof. Someone make sure she's okay too.
The parents of sociopaths and narcissistic people are often a big part of the problem.
Shitheads like Hunter don't have mothers.
They're a manifestation of society.
So you assume the mom is innocent but the dad isn't?
Naive as a muppet
@@freedfree7933 I don't think they were saying that. Im pretty sure he has mentioned being raised by a single mom before, but I could be wrong. Anyways, your kinda making a big assumption about OP.
@@d3pr0fundis Researchers believe that two paths can lead to psychopathy: one dominated by nature, the other by nurture. For some children, their environment-growing up in poverty, living with abusive parents, fending for themselves in dangerous neighborhoods-can turn them violent and coldhearted. These kids aren’t born callous and unemotional; many experts suggest that if they’re given a reprieve from their environment, they can be pulled back from psychopathy’s edge.
But other children display callous and unemotional traits even though they are raised by loving parents in safe neighborhoods. Large studies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have found that this early-onset condition is highly hereditary, hardwired in the brain-and especially difficult to treat. Abigail Marsh, a researcher at Georgetown University who has studied the brains of callous and unemotional children, says that “We’d like to think a mother and father’s love can turn everything around, but there are times where parents are doing the very best they can, but the kid-even from the get-go-is just a bad kid.”
I don’t know if Anonymous members read these, but thank you so much for your help! You’re real life heroes! James too definitely, I’m so glad we have wonderful people looking out for everyone.
anyone can be anonymous just get good skills and you can pretend to be one lmao
@@kurrwa you're absolutly right
Just don't use your own internet and your already anonymous
It's 2022 and people still think Anonymous is some huge secret group of genius hackers lmao.
The name literally comes from 4Chan. Unless you use a tripcode your name is just "anonymous." Ergo when people started forming groups and advertising via 4chan, the name Anonymous referred to anyone in that general group.
There's not, and probably never really was, some structured and large organization called Anonymous.
Anonymous is the government
"Incredibly good looking" 🤣
What legends James and Charlotte Laws and her daughter, and of course Anonymous are. Really recommend the Netflix documentary. I remember people talking about this stuff in the 2010s - Moore stood for this toxic masculinity which was super mainstream in the 00s, especially on the internet, this kind of bully culture which was supposed to be funny. Like James, I hate bullies - they are the worst of the worst. People who use others to prop up their massive egos, trying to fill the void of their souls, people who consume others, steal their lives, destroy and change them forever. You cannot get them on the legal way, usually they are smart enough to find loopholes and fly under the radar. That is why we will always need guys like Anonymous. Big thanks to anyone who was working on this, dangerous people like this need to be stopped.
Then they tell you misogyny is not real...
The audacity, chosen ignorance and entitlement.
Thank you to everyone who worked to stop this despicable creature.

Had the same thought, shreaking enabling assholes.
What's scary is that there are so many men that think like this
This is why I never gave anyone nude pictures. I'm not trying to sound righteous, I had the experience of a former boyfriend turning very nasty after breakup, stealing my things. Had he had a photo, I'm sure he would have done something with it. What an awful human being. Thank you James, Thank you Anonymous, Thank you Vice for reporting on this.
Righteousness dude that's called common sense
Yea I never had the urge to take photos and send them to boyfriends or whatever. People gotta realize if you send them to someone they’re gonna show everyone.
@@tater82 Ive never shown my girlfriend's intimate pics to anyone
@@thecooked8121 I'm not sure I would want to phrase it that way, but you're entitled to your point of view. I can understand sexy banter and wanting to tease your partner. My workaround was 'accidently' having my finger in front of the lens, covering all naughty bits except my face and shoulders.:) Whoops.
@@saratchandrabaskaran3927 Good. Also don't do it if the relationship ever ends (not saying I think you would). I had actually not expected my former boyfriend to turn so nasty, or even go through length as stealing an office chair (I had moved to Germany and still had some stuff to get from his house. He also stole wooden toys I had bought for any future children. Like weirdest stuff. He also had a high income, he didn't 'need' those things, he just ...wanted them?
My two cents:
-sooo glad it went good for once
-I want to be like James: rationalize your hate and anger in an aim
-I was kinda shocked to see that "person" invited in tv shows and allowed to describe his horrendous crimes like it was normal, ok being professional but that is a bit weird watching the others acting like nothing was out of place
Your last bullet point was exactly my thoughts, you'd expect some scumbag to invent something isanyoneup for the money, a hacker maybe setting it up so it could never be tracked back to them and funneling advertising money to some off shore account in the Dominican Republic. It is absolutely shocking to me that he can put his face and name out there for even 5 minutes, crazy. I would expect you'd be sued by one of the victims for 200K within 8 hours of launching this site. The fact that mainstream media invited him for interviews is insane. I think it's already questionable journalistically to report on the issue with the name of the website or creator, because it would draw people to it.
That's media for you, they'll give anyone first class treatment for high TRP.
i think they werent considered crimes back then. maybe they let him on to bring up the issue to light, that wah the public would demand for some kind of laws against this.
Just shows the state of "Info-tainment" in the US-- the more crimminally horrendous the action, the more engagement it gets. I genuinely blame the explosion of True Crime as a genre. Because before it got big, true crime was more about trying to bring justice to the victims and the families-- now it's judt another sick fascination. I garuntee you that if Hunter had gone on to murder someone, the new channels that interviewed him would be crowing about having gotten those interviews "first."
10:40 the fact that people on the other side of the call were LAUGHING is insanity
Declaring someone legally dead is the ultimate troll
