Notorious 8chan Board Has History Wiped After Federal Judge's Doxing
AmiMoJo writes On Monday, imageboard site 8chan's "baphomet" subboard, an Internet destination known for hosting aggressive "doxing" posts, received a major history wipe the day after one of its users posted the personal information of a federal judge in the Silk Road case. A follow-up post by baphomet's "Board Owner" account stated that "HW," a reference to site founder Frederick "hotwheels" Brennan, deleted "the SSN posts" and told the baphomet board founder, previously identified via an associated Twitter handle as Benjamin Biddix, to "lay low." The same day baphomet's "Board Owner" announced a "doxing for hire" service due to "running low on funds."
Don't be so fucking naive. An ill-tempered judge is the most dangerous enemy you can possibly make. Once you are presented to them in hand-cuffs you are as fucked as a quarterback who pisses off a referee.
BONUS: the person who has discretion over who to deliver in handcuffs plays poker with the Judge!
Piss off a politician, piss off a cop, piss off the DAs office, or even a surgeon.
NEVER piss off a judge, especially not the type who can deny appeals without a hearing. Good luck writing a writ of habeus corpus that motivates a District Supreme Court to intervene on your behalf! You threaten a judge and expect another judge to have your back? Lol, you think Cops are the only one with a secret squirrel club? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/260997740877062065/
They are accountable only to themselves and the special investigators who can shake them down for corruption. Once they're on the bench, they're virtually impossible to remove as one of the tenants of the separation of powers. Absolute power does LOTS of things "absolutely". The guardians of "The Republic" have been bought and paid for by the prison industrial complex. Same as it ever was. Feel free to piss in the wind and try to change the system from the inside.
Where do you think disillusioned old men come from if not young idealists with experience?
