missismiggins The evil disgusting piece of filth John Markoff of the Jew York Times ruined this guys life. He conspired with a disgusting Jap Dog to ruin Kevin Mitniks life.Mitnik did virtually nothing, but was indicted and jailed because of fear generated by the scum Jews in Hollywood and the Jew vermin in the Jew York Times.The Dog Markoff never even met Mitnik, but because of the usual GREED for money from these filthy parasites, it set out to write a book before Kevin was even arrested - check out the book TAKEDOWN, written by scum to take this guy down.
rtepunk I thought America was supposed to be this free country that grants rights to their citizens. What a joke. It's funny to me to see all the foreign comments saying it's shocking. If anyone here has been through the legal process in this country especially for a felony, this movie isn't probably very shocking to them. When the police pick your name from the hat, you are not going to walk away clean. Unless you have very deep pockets of course, then you have about a 30% chance of winning your case. A big chunk your money will go towards posting bail so you don't have to sit in county jail for several months until the D.A. actually looks at your file. Even if you don't post bail, do the time til your case is heard, and win. You just sat in jail with mostly crackdealers and crackheads if you're in a major city like I was, and you can't win a lawsuit for wrongful imprisonment and lost wages because that's just what the system is. Not to mention the original charge(s) will still pop up in background checks about 75% of the time. Get a charge exponged off your record and you'll still have the same odds of it popping up. Trust me, it's happened to me and just about everybody I know with felonies. My advice is be smart about your crimes. I would say be good and don't commit any but the fact is everybody in America is going to commit at least a crime or two in their lifetime, some by accident. If you get caught and are looking at a lot of jail/prison time, run your ass off! Say you get caught on the run, the court process takes so long that by the time trial starts, they could care less if you ran or turned yourself in. They just want you to accept a plea so they don't have to invest time and money into convicting you because that's all it is, it's a business.
salvia_d The simple truth is that the American justice and prison system are run by private corporation and if the government wants to get rid of someone they just hand them over to this system. This movie is about just one person that this has happened too. Unfortunately for Mitnick he was the scapegoat used to pass a lot of laws to protect corporations and allow them to right off a lot of expenses and steal a lot of money by blaming hackers. This is the real message of the movie. Just a simple wake up call to the people.This movie is much more then the story of Mitnick, a computer user at a time when very few people knew how to turn them on. He was used and abused, his life destroyed and his freedom taken away. And the scary truth is most people really didn't care because it was happening to someone else.This is a great movie, funny beyond what you would expect. Informative beyond what it seems, all you have to do is listen to what the "geeks" are saying. It's filled with great REAL characters that will make you laugh out loud.Watch this movie if you want to have a great time and learn more then you would watching a year of Hollywood movies Great job to the cast and crew and the hackers and the geeks ... I loved it
Teitoku Tries to victimize a guy who knowingly broke multiple laws on multiple accounts. Boo-hoo. I haven't hacked any corporate systems and guess what. I never had to get in the rear in prison.
