So you want to be a computer criminal?

Following is an IRC transcript of famous computer criminals behaving badly. This transcript features the much-busted and convicted Patrick W. Gregory (MostHated, leader of Global Hell), the much-raided head of Attrition.org Brian Martin (jericho), and Martin's sidekick Debris, who is evidently trying to win a reputation. Warning -- these guys use naughty words!

Highlights of this transcript:

Bronc Buster tries to trick people into believing that John Vranesevich is running denial of service attacks against him
Debris talks about burning down the offices of Antionline
The baddies brag that they will throw a hacker con where people die
Debris admits to committing credit card fraud
MostHated complains about Meinel publishing this transcript
Debris complains, too.
