Social Media Can Help You Fake Your Own Death
Julie188 writes "We are inundated with warnings that social media is systematically stripping away our privacy. But Frank Ahearn, the so-called 'Dear Abby' of disappearing, is attempting to show folks how to use those same technologies to regain your privacy, even helping you go as far as faking your own death. Ahearn is a professional skip-tracer who has hunted down people like Monica Lewinsky. In an interview with Ahearn on Network World, he says, 'One can legally disappear through the use of corporations and offshore corporations. The idea is to embrace technology and to become a virtual entity.' My favorite tip is that New Zealand is the place to land once you leap off the grid. Not only is it far from most of the rest of the English speaking world, he says, but it also has great beaches."
Don't buy this book on Amazon using your credit card if you do intend on disappearing. It might tip off anyone who does come looking for you.
If there's anything more important than my ego around here, I want it caught and shot immediately.
This whole 'interview' seemed very shallow with no detail. The interviewer kept pestering about illegal things which he kept saying "No, don't do that." and I kept saying "Well what would one do then?" Finally at the end he mentions his book with a link to where you can buy it.
So, what is the point of this article then?
No sig for you!!
Have you seen what the few hundred thousand monkeys here in the US has been doing lately? They make more than the private sector, apparently bean counting is a lucrative globally lucrative business.
And I guarantee most of that extra income goes to...hookers and blackjack!
