Posted February 21, 200916 yr The Register has published another article on Ryan Goldstein AKA Digerati, who had a very short lived time on our IRC network, prior to his arrest and later conviction. This article covers the fact the FBI found over a 1000 images of child pornography on his computer, but never prosecuted him for it. It also relates stories from other IRC networks where he was caught solicting young boys for nude pictures in exchange for money. Ryan Goldstein AKA Digerati was able to plead out to a much lesser crime related to his hacking. Here is some quotes from an earlier article when he was sentenced: Assistant US Attorney Michael Levy told AP that Goldstein's cooperation during the investigation resulted in a decision not to charge him over the possession of thousands of images of child abuse discovered on his computer. US District Judge Michael Baylson criticised the decision not to prosecute Goldstein for his predilection for child porn. The judge took the unusual step of sentencing Goldstein alongside convicted child pornographer Derrick Williams, of Philadelphia, at the same hearing. Like Goldstein, Williams was caught with thousands of child abuse images on his computer. Each copied some of the pictures, but only Williams posted some (around 15) of the images he held onto a website. Williams was jailed for two years (rather than the 8-10 years established in sentencing guidelines), whereas Goldstein will be free in as little as two months. The new article titled "How the Feds shook hands with an internet pedophile" can be read here. This is yet another excellent article by Dan Goodin who is doing a great job covering the prosecution of botnet owners. Edited February 21, 200916 yr by [myg0t]OldManPeterson
February 22, 200916 yr A post by Digerati on our forums back in October of 2005: A word of advice: my university's servers are ensured to remain functional at all times by the United States government. Therefore, it's the government's responsibility to investigate any attacks that could compromise any functionality of the servers. That is your one and only word of warning. ;) http://forums.myg0t.com/showpost.php?p=260982&postcount=5 This is hilarious since the reason he got caught was from accidentally DDoSing his own university servers at UPENN a few months later. What an idiot.

March 2, 200916 yr some kid at FPSbanana said that myg0ts were 11 year olds that was gonna be pedophiles and/or serial killers. Maybe he was talking about this guy. Rofl, this is hilarious.
March 5, 200916 yr its cuz hes [a Jew that] he got off lightly. Fixed. Fuckin pedos- they get laid more than me. In prison, AMARITE?
March 14, 200916 yr Judging by his personal website, he seems fairly ambitious. With that said, reading his post, and the charges for child pornography make him look like a complete idiot. Everyone has their own crutch.
