Don't save your authenticator back up codes in a password manager, you're exposing your accounts to a remote attack. If the attacker gets access to your password manager they have both your password and your 2fa. Money gone!Save your back up codes offline on paper or encrypted SD card. Junseth says some people use two password managers, keeping 2fa on a second password manager, but that's still leaving your backup codes vulnerable to online attack.
I haven't got the lack of soul to do this. I can't divorce myself from the misery inflicted on people. It starts to feel like evolution passed me by. The people who will be left with just the honest stuff they could make.
This was so fascinating ... and disturbing ... at the same time. Wow! I hope someone recognizes this scammer kids voice and an investigation opens to track down the money to get returned to all the victims.
Fascinating interview. I'd love to see Junseth team up with Kitboga or Jim Browning and go deeper into the scam. Great info. I'll be making a few changes to my accounts based on what I heard. Thank you 🙏
'Daniel' assumes that there will be few consequences for his actions if he is caught by the law. Maybe. But he's oblivious to what revenge one of his victims may take on him should he be doxxed.
As someone who works professionally helping immigrants, I can tell you with almost 99% certainty that this is a first-generation child of (probably legal) immigrants. I can pick up the ever-so-slight accent on particular words. I have a guess based on the accent but don't want to say which country, to avoid discrimination. I would also guess at least one of the parents of this youth is a nurse or equivalent----hence the middle-class yet educated, and somewhat "STEM" based aptitude of the scammer. This also explains why the parents are less likely to be suspicious etc of the material trappings--as an immigrant they are less attuned to the signs or working too hard to notice. The parents might just believe their personal visions of their offspring achieving the American dream are manifesting themselves. This also explains why no one in their social circles has sold them out yet; the community is more tight-knit. Sharing this information because the scam disgusts me, and whatever profiling can help apprehend or bust up this crew I'm happy to share.
Fascinating record of your interview Junseth. Clever questions to draw Daniel out. The profiling. The gaming industry has gotten very interesting. So has security of hardware/software and understanding where the potential vulnerabilities are when using them. Main takeaway - make the convenient inconvenient for yourself. Great podcast, great education Peter - thanks.
I got the link to the original audio through TFFC and listened, as was advised, though hard to listen to a sociopath. Sorry to hear “copyright” put the kibosh on dissemination-it is essential info. Great work Junseth.
Peter you can use a solicitors address as your registered address for a UK company director register, or better still, open a Gibraltar limited company and have that Gib registered company as the registered director, the Gibraltar company house will not give out any personal details at any time. I hope that helps you with privacy and security.
Wow, Idk where to even start but: 1. He gave up a LOT of identifying information (first car scat pack, friend who went to jail for 2yrs in a $1.1M case, CB name in Minecraft, Louis Vuitton purchase, etc.) 2. This kid is what society gets when it so royally screws any hope of a decent future 'playing by the rules'. This is the "Fuck It", the one of the five F's that doesn't get talked about nearly enough (Fight, Flight, Freeze, Follow, Fuck It - Turchin). Expect a lot more of this sort of mentality/behavior from young people, and even worse over the coming decade 3. Most people are morons and do not take OpSec nearly serious enough 4. This kid is going to prison, for SURE 5. Kid sounds like me when I was in high school. If I had grown up as a kid today, this kid very well have been me...
I like Junseth but out of curiosity what happened to Chris... I know you all parted ways before he disappeared but where has he been. The kids right. If he's a minor he will get away with no real punishment. Did the calls ever stop like he said they would when they removed him? He didn't answer that since the incident.
I wonder if Daniel would think it "so fun and cool" if a gang socially engineered his parents/grandparents out of their life savings and/or homes? He's very good at justifying things with oh they're old and/stupid but what if a wolf just like him came into his parents' home, where he apparently still lives!
Enjoying the show very much, thank you! Is it possible to get somebody bitcoin-neutral, preferably reputable, with economic academia background on it? Who can give non-biased point of view on if bitcoin can work out long term from pure science standpoint? Josh Hendrikson was great here, some years ago. Thanks again!
Not gonna lie, when they both laughed at 1.2 BTC, that hurt. Hey, in an age when the average American can't afford a $500 emergency, I don't want to feel shy and shamed about the little BTC I've got and worked extremely hard for as a working-class guy.
100%. While I'm not sure Junseth meant to belittle folk with small bitcoin holdings, I like you felt the same way. But, whether intended or not, it's not productive for the haves to make the have-lesses feel this way. If greater bitcoin adoption is to the betterment of all bitcoiners, then every btc holding is to be celebrated. Surely most holdings of bitcoin began with smaller amounts than the holder aspires to. The best way to orange pill someone is to gift them a small amount of btc so they have skin in the game & can begin to learn, understand & transact in btc.
Great pod. To me, it seems like Junseth was way overthinking the rationale behind the morality of this kind of scam. I think its _very_ clear that scammers like this dont consider this stealing *at all*. The way they see it, and a better metaphor, is that they are walking into a Wal-Mart and asking the clerk if they can have the flat screen TV on display. The clerk says "sure thing", hands them the TV, and walks them out of the store - bypassing the register. The difference (in their mind) is 100% about the fact that there is no threat attached to begin with, and no consequences to to denial. Every target is free to say "no", and then the scammer just moves on.
FYI alphabet boys can run his voice on their recognition software to get to him. This guy’s done. Even if it wasn’t for the voice, he isn’t sophisticated and talks too much. I can see a dozen ways he’s been compromised by the Swan transaction alone.
Junseth says the scammers will end up with shitcoins and are stuck with those? Uhm you know you can just exchange it on decentralized exchanges like Thorchain etc?
Good tip on the Google authentication app, lol. Wtf would they not disclose that when you set it up? This kid is in high school and thinks he's doing God's work smh. I've had a few young kids try this on me too and they think it's a game.
It isn’t necessarily a good idea to disable your Google authenticator cloud backup. It all depends on your setup. If your Phone crashes, gets lost or is stolen, you are locked out of all your 2FA accounts. You can back it up on a second phone or save the codes in a password manager, and then disable the cloud. Remember, you need a 2FA backup code for each individual service or website. But if you give away your Google password and you use Gmail you would be fucked as well. It also depends, what are you securing? Do you use strong passwords? Anyway you have to think these things through.
This is good stuff and eye opening, but i gotta say to Peters comments, napster was just as much stealing as this kid is doing. Just because it was on a smaller scale against a wealthy band, doesnt change that fact. We all like to justify our own wrongdoings one way or another, and i used napster back in the day.
junseth i would love to speak to u about this topic and debunk some of the claims made and stuff like that let me know if u want my telegram and i would love to do a interview
Still the best show in the bitcoin podcast world!!
Pete has, by far, THE best interviews. Pete is the Joe Rogan of bitcoin.
"...he has the Coinbase name on Minecraft"
The genius social engineer just half-doxed his crime partner.
Changed my Google auth setting. Thanks!
Just be aware that if you lose your phone you can’t access those keys. That’s why Google added that feature.
This needs to be shared far and wide to warn people.
Peter, I have been loving your podcast these days brother
Ross Ulbricht is in prison and this kid is not. Fuck this world.
Well done both good men. The world needs more good men like you guys.
Eye opening but depressing as well. This is what will scare most wealth holders to not custody themselves. Just too much risk..
Don't save your authenticator back up codes in a password manager, you're exposing your accounts to a remote attack.

Great interview! Incredible (and depressing) how that scammer seems to feel about what he's doing!
Enjoyed this one, more education on fraud prevention please!
I haven't got the lack of soul to do this. I can't divorce myself from the misery inflicted on people. It starts to feel like evolution passed me by. The people who will be left with just the honest stuff they could make.
What you’re really saying is you’re not a psychopath/sociopath like the vast majority of people.
Junseth,
Reupload the full audio to TH-cam please and thank you!
That is the full interview
Peter....YOUR awsome. And this guest is a pure treasure . THIS GUY has a huge future in private law enforcement.
Junseth can call his service provider to find out what what the IP was that called him, and there is enough information in that call to find the dude
This was so fascinating ... and disturbing ... at the same time. Wow! I hope someone recognizes this scammer kids voice and an investigation opens to track down the money to get returned to all the victims.
Unbelievable! Thanks, Peter and Junseth for this podcast. Hopefully, it will help someone from getting scammed.
Amazing very BEST episode! More episodes like this please. 🙏🏻
Fascinating interview. I'd love to see Junseth team up with Kitboga or Jim Browning and go deeper into the scam. Great info. I'll be making a few changes to my accounts based on what I heard. Thank you 🙏

Yeah. He better hope that old guy he robbed isn't some mobster's dad.
Yeah exactly , chainsaws and pliers 😂

Super helpful insights into Security and Scammer Psychology, thank you so much!
I'm wondering if the "good databases" come from someone internally at the exchanges.
Junseth is Legend
Amazing Junseth and Peter. Thank you
What happened to all the awesome TH-cam videos Chris Derose and Junseth did years ago with ICO scammers like Dragon chain?
DeRose took down the entire Bitcoin Uncensored archives.
Some of us might have copies. 😉
yeah that sht was dope. They did a podcast from inside a toilet with roger ver once 🤣I didnt understand the running joke but still funny
I got the link to the original audio through TFFC and listened, as was advised, though hard to listen to a sociopath. Sorry to hear “copyright” put the kibosh on dissemination-it is essential info. Great work Junseth.
This one is a marvelous podcast issue
He said high six figures not 5, 6 figures
Peter you can use a solicitors address as your registered address for a UK company director register, or better still, open a Gibraltar limited company and have that Gib registered company as the registered director, the Gibraltar company house will not give out any personal details at any time. I hope that helps you with privacy and security.
People love to correct you!
Great Show

The kids right. If he's a minor he will get away with no real punishment.
Did the calls ever stop like he said they would when they removed him? He didn't answer that since the incident.
There not his friends they are being criminally exploited by adults most likely and groomed first so they think what they doing is ok
Thank you junseth and Peter for the explanation on what double glazing is. As a “stupid American” I thought at first it was twice dipped donuts. 🍩
Think I worked in the same dingy office part time along side my full time job in a call centre back in early 2000's! 😂
I wonder if Daniel would think it "so fun and cool" if a gang socially engineered his parents/grandparents out of their life savings and/or homes? He's very good at justifying things with oh they're old and/stupid but what if a wolf just like him came into his parents' home, where he apparently still lives!
He would be devastated if that happened to him. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
34:04, what does Junseth answer when you bully him for being a murikan?
Kid reminds me of an old coworker of mine. His meth habit caught up to him and he's in and out of prison now
Junseth is so f-ing funny. Whiskey breath
Enjoying the show very much, thank you! Is it possible to get somebody bitcoin-neutral, preferably reputable, with economic academia background on it? Who can give non-biased point of view on if bitcoin can work out long term from pure science standpoint? Josh Hendrikson was great here, some years ago. Thanks again!
I love how people assume that everything that kid said is true
Everything true!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
i like how you assume others assume......
Google authentication cloud sync deactivated 👍🏻

Yeah that wasn't cool, it was belittling. Good podcast overall.

Good luck explaining that rational to a judge.
He’ll care once he goes to jail. Jail sucks so hard.
So will he, suck hard I mean
Only LA county jail.
with the money involved this kids life could be in danger now with what he has talked about
Respect Junseth
God I hope this mofo hears himself on this podcast and panics.
His friends about to kick him out of the group lol
Now I see why they want to ban teens from the internet.
And the Jacket
The car bought by his parents is the first step
Wow, suddenly feeling really sad abt th state of young men in th world.
AI tracking voices is probably already possible. Daniels days are numbered
What if Daniel is an AI? 🤖
Yes, he’s done. Check how Beff Jezos got doxxed.
I hope.
Exchange password scammer NOT Bitcoin...
Moar junseth please!
Also if the kids a minor how's he splurging at the bars ... must be way closer to not a minor?
A country of materialistic sociopaths. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
FYI alphabet boys can run his voice on their recognition software to get to him. This guy’s done. Even if it wasn’t for the voice, he isn’t sophisticated and talks too much. I can see a dozen ways he’s been compromised by the Swan transaction alone.
That's the arrogance and ego shining through from the young fella.
He should use voice mod software. He could be using it already.
Cant wait for the karma to kick in
1:08:25 high six figures, Peter high six figures🙄
If you guys haven’t already, you should watch the movie hackers 1995 Angelina Jolie…..
just wow.
bury your recovery seeds in the ground and forget about them for 10 years
Junseth says the scammers will end up with shitcoins and are stuck with those? Uhm you know you can just exchange it on decentralized exchanges like Thorchain etc?
That kid is f’d , way to hubristic and cocky he’ll get got.
Good tip on the Google authentication app, lol. Wtf would they not disclose that when you set it up? This kid is in high school and thinks he's doing God's work smh. I've had a few young kids try this on me too and they think it's a game.

Anyway you have to think these things through.
JunS and Hodl weekly hour and I’ll delete all other podcasts.
Do a show attempting to scam well known people see how far you get.
This is good stuff and eye opening, but i gotta say to Peters comments, napster was just as much stealing as this kid is doing. Just because it was on a smaller scale against a wealthy band, doesnt change that fact. We all like to justify our own wrongdoings one way or another, and i used napster back in the day.
I think he's lying just trying to make some money but the guy who make money doesn't talk
why is there an assumption that this scammer is a minor < 18 y/o ? Dude sounds like he's college aged.
Beekeeper
Frank Abagnale
Finally ... FFS.
LFG
If your always getting scam calls to steal your BTC - why not at some point just get a new phone number?
🤴
He only said he bought a McClaren cuz you had just asked if he was a f** and he was trying to seem important and cool.
Lol these guys so boomer, thinking u cant cash out...not everyone is normie boomer, there r people will give u lugage of cash for crypto
junseth i would love to speak to u about this topic and debunk some of the claims made and stuff like that let me know if u want my telegram and i would love to do a interview
