Mafia Tech Support

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the don-centrino-and-his-boys dept.

Mzilikazi writes "A story from Wired about performing tech support for the mob, mainly focusing on gambling. Some interesting information is presented about P2P applications. Frankly it sounds like fiction to me (you can already imagine the movie being made -- 'I Was a Hacker for The Mob'), but the story is interesting nonetheless and shows that if you're skilled and determined but have a flexible moral compass, there's a lot of job opportunities out there." I started reading it for the mob references, but kept on reading for the details of how to run an illegal gambling organization.

    If he lives in NY he is paying plenty of taxes when he spends his money. He is just fooling himself, all he is avoiding is income taxes.

    Did you see the history channel special on JFK's assasination? Oswald was a patsy. There was a gunman on the grassy knoll and image enhancements of photos taken of the shooting prove it. The Warren Commission was a giant government orchestrated cover up.
