It's meant to be as garish as possible. It's the modern day equivalent of a branding iron. You got pwned!
Actually, you're spot on. They started doing these style of splash pages a few years after hacking groups did.
"Coelho landed on the radar of U.S. authorities in June 2018, when he tried to enter the United States at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. The government obtained a warrant to search the electronic devices Coelho had in his luggage and found text messages, files and emails showing he was the RaidForums administrator Omnipotent."

I am always surprised at how often people who know each other randomly run into each other in an airport. I mean, what are the odds? I only had it happen once, but it was nuts. A guy from my previous company I ran into randomly in Frankfurt while I was on my way to India. He lives in California, I live in Chicago. We were on the same flight to Bangalore . Our trips had nothing to do with each other, other than we bot…
And what are the odds people meet in the first place? Those exact same factors are what make folks run into each other again later. It would actually be weird if you never ran into people you know.

> Not really the sharpest knife in the drawer, to do things like this and then to go holidaying in the USA with incriminating stuff on your person... The US could have gone after him any time it wanted in nearly any country, including his home in Portugal. They actually arrested him in the UK. This issue with the warrant when he entered was a procedural thing that appeared out of convenience. They could have cooperat…

> might very well have been legal had he just avoided payment information and stuck to stolen databases containing emails, phone numbers, passwords I suspect that you are wrong about this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_(legal_term) "Count 1: Conspiracy to Commit Access Device Fraud (18 U.S.C. §§ 1029(b)(2)and 3559(g)(1)) Count 2: Access Device Fraud — Using or Trafficking in an Unauthorized Access Device (1…
Accessory after the fact: > Whoever, knowing that an offense against the United States has been committed, receives, relieves, comforts or assists the offender in order to hinder or prevent his apprehension, trial or punishment, is an accessory after the fact. It’s not obvious at all that selling e.g. the leaked Linkedin database would be illegal in any way. You wouldn’t retroactively become an accessory to the origi…

Not to mention the following paragraph: >“In an attempt to retrieve his items, Coelho called the lead FBI case agent on or around August 2, 2018, and used the email address unrivalled@pm.me to email the agent,” the government’s affidavit states. Investigators found this same address was used to register rf.ws and raid.lol, which Omnipotent announced on the forum would serve as alternative domain names for RaidForums…
