Is this one as good as the impossible password game one? It was genius. https://youtu.be/knhQ2f8anT8

That's definitely one of my favorites. But the video that made me laugh out loud the most was his collab with a cake designer:

IMO this is way better than what the other scambaiter Pierogi did recently. I'm refering to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUHFpfVPUYc

In the beginning it seems okay, have a bunch of people pretend to be victims and waste scammers time, but later on with starting to deploy malware and zero-days, spying on people with their web cam... Just because scammers break the law doesn't mean we have to stoop to their level. Overall left a bad taste in my mouth. It had a strong smell of "ends justify the means" mentality and this is know to turn to s*t every time.

It's really funny, but I can't tell how he funneled in scammers only. Seems just as likely he just has poor people.

He only gives scammers the QR code that leads into his gauntlet. Normal people shouldn't be stumbling into this, as it requires a fake QR code from a fake Bitcoin ATM receipt. This also lures the scammers in as they believe they will receive (someone else's) Bitcoin.

but if you had a sample qr code (or even just the basic url?) you could start trolling innocents, no?
