I think scammers deserve to be exposed. The truth is if more people shared this kind of information publicly then there would be less scammers. The reason many scammers can do what they do for a long time is because the victims never speak out and warn others against them.
Rare to see a write up like this where they not only expose the scammers (by name), but also share their personal information.
I wasn't sure about publishing, but now that I did I'm glad it's out there.
Personalizing the scammers makes this situation "real" and while it may not lead to an arrest, it will at least give a precedent for how to handle (or maybe not?) those deemed "above the law" because of their nationality or physical location (outside the US).
So Syndicate or one narcissistic guy?
Awesome. More DMCA abuse. And this is why we need penalties against bad actors who knowingly file fraudulent takedown requests.
Does empireflippers know they are also the bad guys in this story?
Ok so wait, in response to getting scammed you hacked into this guys accounts to gather information? And then admit to it publicly ? And then dox the guy? Unprofessional doesn't even begin...
I don't see any admission or indication of "hacking". Unprofessional? - if "professional" means keeping quiet, reporting it authorities (who don't care and can't do anything about it) and riding quietly into the sunset call me unprofessional any day.

Hacking is what a person does in violation of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986[1]. Which doesn't discuss needing to actively try to break encryption or exploit a security vulnerability but rather talks about accessing something to which you do not have permission.

If this was an article about the US Government convicting or charging people for "hacking" we'd most likely see numerous comments and complaints here about the improper use of the word.
