- When James McGibney discovered the ‘king of revenge porn’ Hunter Moore, he instantly hated him. While planning how to take him down, a member of Anonymous contacted James and offered to team up.
Hunter Moore was then known as the ‘Internet’s most hated man’, and his infamous site was where men went to post revenge porn photos of women, alongside identifying details like their addresses and social media profiles - setting the women up to be harassed and shamed on and offline.
After pretending to be Hunter’s friend, James managed to buy Hunter’s site from under him, bringing down the 'most hated man on the internet’.

I want to say thank you to James. When I was 19 years old I had photos hacked from my personal email and put on Hunter's website. I was humiliated. I went to lawyers and law enforcement asking for help or what could be done, but at the time there was nothing available to charge him. I eventually let go of the embarrassment it caused me and realized it was removed from the web and turned into an anti-bully website. I had no idea who was behind it. Thank you again, so much.
I'm sorry that happened to you, glad you're on the other side of it now.
Power to you ❤
That's terrible, I'm glad they put a stop to it before even more people could see. You didn't deserve that!
Sending love and good vibes to you all the way from England 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I'm sorry that happened to you! Lots of love from Denmark
A perfect example of Anonymous wearing their chaotic good hat. Donating his cash to battered women shelters was pure poetry.
@@DeyRapingEveryone They appropriated his funds against his will. Information was acquired, stolen, and manipulated for a cause.
Why do you not believe this is possible?
@@DeyRapingEveryone you have no clue how powerful anonymous is 😂
Poetic justice, one might say
Anonymous is the feds
And vice wearing thier slow hat idiots just promoted him so they can push thier no free speech online.
Never heard of this clown until this video but I'm glad this guy's despicable behaviour was brought to light and to justice. Thank you for your service, James.
And shoutout to anonymous too
Sad thing is i belive there is more People like him

Justice? 4 yrs? That isn't justice....the only justice for ppl like this is street vengeance....that's it..open n shut...for instance. Wats the first thing u do when the guy who raped ur family member goes to jail? ....u go bail him out! .....

The most disgusting thing that Media and big stations have interviewed him, gave him a space to speak, and gave him the publicity and advertisement in a way it looks like they were encouraging him..
Exactly!
Exactly.
And they way they were so careful with him like he had some sort of right they didn't want to infringe on. It's no surprise we are where we are today. They multiply faster than we can fix them.
Totally agree with you there. Sadly this isn't uncommon, there was a case in Brazil (I believe) in the 90's where a young girl and 2 of her friends were taken hostage by her ex boyfriend in her parents home and because the media was swarming and communicating with him, it delayed the rescue for like 2 days. It's an absolute WILD story, he even manages to recapture one of the hostages at one point. Nick Crowley just recently did a video on it, i highly recommend yall check it out :)
What disguts me even more is that there are millions of men like him, who were and are his followers and are equally worse.
Hats of to the courage and determination that James and his wife have.
@Deen Chaser no. No it’s not.
@Deen Chaser some. There are assholes in every walk of life. Generalizing is ignorant.
@Deen Chaser you are highlighting the exceptions. Every group attracts bad actors who seek to use the group as cover for their own bad behavior. That’s life though, you’re painting with a broad brush. Deen, we don’t agree, that’s okay. I do respect you arguing your point without name calling or insults.
@Deen Chaser 💯💯
Believe me.... plenty of women were using these sites back then too. I knew a bunch of warped tour kinda chick's that loved when punk band dudes got posted
I literally laughed out loud when he said how good-looking he is. So, he's an absolute monster AND completely delusional.
Right!
Disgusting looking! He literally looks like he reeks of weed and cheap beer 🤮
extreme insecurity underlies extreme shows of masculinity. Don't kill the messenger on this, it's just fact. overcompensation.
Good looking ?? 🤣

srsly
Pretty sure men did, both James and the group Anonymous. Now, if women could just hold some lying gold-diggers accountable like those who try to ruin the lives of pro athletes.
The fact he only got 2 years shows how fucked the earth and it's rules for justice are , protects crime more than people
And apparently he has a new website up, too. James is inadvertently making this guy money.
Gotta love tha system
Of course he did. White people get away with everything.
Oh bro dont worry now that this got brought back up its going to get even bigger and hunter is guna get baby sat.
Not earth. America...America is one fucked up country
I love how anonymous wanted to target his websites funding, only to find out this guy makes zero money and is an even bigger loser than they previously thought.
🤣😂😂
He currently lives with his mom. 😂
@@hotcarl3854 Wouldnt he be sued though
@@hotcarl3854 I know you're not defending him, but how come he got the money despite making no revenue from the nudes?
@@hotcarl3854 Got to admit though, as much as he is evil I also consider him to be a genius, since he literally got away for so many years because there were no laws against what he was doing (exception being the hacking incident), well he lacks morality but certainly not intelligence, however not intelligent enough to avoid the consiquences. Though I wonder why he sold his website for the money and later on planning to open his webiste back, anything you know about that?
I'm as mind-numbingly disgusted with Hunter as the next person, but I'm nearly as disgusted with the fact that there is/was a significant audience for the site. He is providing the platform. The public is providing the content.
Sadly that's the part that always get over looked... But then again the public is also the "looker"
Right?
Exactly. Problems are rarely tackled at the Demand side because it looks bad on society. Everyone want to find a scapegoat without taking responsibility. I admit I do this to an extent.
I knowwww, my mouth was agape the whole time. I couldn’t believe it
@@Rudyelf1 Once it reaches a certain threshold then there's a degree of mob mentality too. There's a Deron Brown special about it that shows the effect with a real audience, but it's the same force that results in football riots, or city riots that loot and destroy all the local shops. In which social justice makes people's morals and ethics more flexible than they would normally be. There's also the natural human inclination to gawk at car crashes and other disasters. I feel generally that the worst offenders were the early uptake when there was no popularity or competitiveness and peer pressure and it was purely a malicious action.
Once it hit critical mass much of the traffic would have likely been gawkers looking for someone they knew, so they're not really the problem. It's the people submitting photos and details and the one's that made it popular enough to essentially go viral amongst the disaffected young male population, mainly entitled white males who feel the world owes them a perfect girlfriend and as they can't have one then they'll gladly make sure no one else can enjoy one by any means possible. I'd imagine that most of them have narcissistic type personality disorders and even though a relatively small percentage of the population conforms to that that specification they tend to form around these nuclei.
“As a white male, who is extremely good looking” killed me 😭💀💀

@@arohani good
I interviewed both Hunter Moore and James McGibney a few times in 2012 when I was working for Huffington Post's Tech vertical. In my phone conversations with Hunter Moore I really got the same impression that this video gives: none of this was an act. He really is just a deeply terrible human being.
Did anonymous actual "hack" credit cards?
I read alot about denial of service attacks, which media seems to include as hacking, did they actually hack accounts or find a credit card number on a pic on social media or something.
Like the death certificate part, I'm guessing they used Photoshop and email or telephone.
Could you post these audios on you tube?
@@seansimpson8758They used more coding/programming than "Photoshop and email" haha.
They acquired the information required to process these documents illegally. They forged them, but they weren't fake. So yes, the hacking part is true, though they completely glossed over how they committed fraud and a host of other illegal actions in order to hunt Hunter. Interesting how they never tackled that angle because when black hats become online batman vigilantes, we just accept any amoral process involved in their pursuit of their justice!
@@Ruintheus I don't think you give Photoshop, Email, Telephone enough credit 😉
Since I use my real name, I'm not going any further. LOL
@@seansimpson8758 no, I definitely know you can go pretty far with them. I dated a girl who went to art school and learned alongside her what she learned in her Photoshop class and spent a bunch of time shooping on chan.
It's very rare for me to say this, but I hope Hunter will have to live the rest of his life, looking over his shoulder. He deserves that.
What an awful & despicable human being.
Same... I rarely wish anything negative on anyone but he needs to be humbled desperately.
he moved to Columbia , so he’s chilling like villian
He’d have to have a conscience for that. He really shows no remorse even now.
Hunter Moore is a sociopath. But what is equally, or even more disturbing was/is his massive fan base. What it says, primarily about young men, living amongst us today is truly terrifying.
Honestly i saw his educational series on youtube. It was actually hilarious af, if he ever decided to start streaming he would probably be big. Hes like an earlier version of adin ross. FUNNY AND UNCUT AF
We need more men like James.
May he get all the happiness and love he deserves.
Yes yes! Good will always win.
Big deal who cares people took those photos knowing what can and will happen
No wonder his wife so proud of him.
@@Weldor123 another d bag
James has been getting paid joining the ranks of the 1% saying hasta la vista peasants.
Huge respect to James and Anonymous. This Hunter guy is an absolute psychopath, I seriously cannot believe he wasn’t arrested earlier. My favorite part was when there was a certificate stating that Hunter was legally declared dead LMAO
Omg can you IMAGINE trying to explain to the court why you were considered legally dead and asking to have it stricken from the record? Just IMAGINE having to explain to dozens of people why your bank account was hacked, why your parents mortgage is being fucked with, why someone was so goddamn pissed with you that legally made you dead! That is just *chef's kiss*.
grace: And that has real life consequences. You tryto take mony out of your bank acount and they say "Oh no you don't. This acount has been frozen because ther guy who had it is dead now."
@@amysofia5783 i can promise you, it's worse than you think. once you are legally dead, you own nothing, people don't believe that you are you.. you get arrested accused of identity theft. everything you owned dissapears infront of your eyes, because even if you can show on pictures that it's you... you have no legal evidence. you're fucked for quite some time until all the paperwork to reverse this gets done. Still, he deserves worse.
I dated someone JUST like this; he was an abusive narcissist. Definitely taught me that some people are just straight up bad people.
Let me guess he was more than appealing at first then slowly turned into a controlling yet perfect person that would constantly tell you what you’re doing wrong and I’m essence just make you feel bad about yourself, right?
@@GSXR90 exactly. There’s so much more to it too. Toward the end he started secretly doing meth (that’s when it got real abusive). I found out he was talking to an underaged girl and SA another while we were together. He’d call me racial slurs to his ex’s. Kidnapped me naked once. Dragged me with his car on Christmas.. I waisted my early twenties on this person constantly going through it. This was almost two years ago and I still have really bad PTSD 😕
@@ariatysonbey6386 just stay strong I’m not sure how you feel about God but there’s a ton of peace in his love if you don’t already have it, Nobody deserves that kind of treatment but in the end you can take a lot from it you can grow from it you can learn from it and you can thrive without it.

Exactly!
Well considering Vice is a lying propaganda website that smears innocent people I'd say you're on the money
yeah...
So true! You worry about the things you've said or did to hurt someone and wish you weren't so careless. Or the things you should have done to help someone in real trouble but didn't... And then you see this and you're like "Wow. At least I care and try to do better. This guy's evil!" lol
eh I would still take a long look at yourself if you feel like a horrible person. Every one of can use some self reflection and improvement.
God Bless this man for “adopting” this “bad kid” for LIFE and promising to hold him accountable for his actions and punish him accordingly! 👏👏👏👏
GG to Anonymus for backing this hero
I love what his wife said at the very end, smiling. It's like he's their rascally neighborhood hobo.
Well said :)
He lived with his parents while all this was going on? What a lightweight. I'm surprised some Dad or brother didn't track him down and tune him up. You know he can't fight a lick. Great job by this Avenger!!
Oh think the anti bully guy confronted him in the streets once and the revenge guy ran away
Im suprised he wasn't straight up shot in the streets. I was unstable af at 16. Something like this would have pushed me too far. Mans lucky to still have his life because what....that's why he really didn't mess with black girls.
Still time
Hopefully someone in the pen knows who he is what he’s done
Neither can 99.9% of the population.
Man has devolved into women the past 20 years
his wife handled this interview like a total boss, absolutely respectful with a nice smile while getting her point across
You know neither of them did anything of value, right? Hunter was arrested because a mother of one of the victims went to the FBI. All James and his wife did was pay $12,000 for a server (James admits) full of CP.
@@kenfresno2125 i didnt know that, thank you for highlighting it. i was more complimenting the ability to sit and hold strong through that sort of stressful public event. its not something that can be learned, either good or evil it is an impressive skill.
lol
Mad, MAD props to James! But to be fair, he was one part of a multi-pronged search for justice. Charlotte Laws (the mother of one of Hunter's victims) deserves at least half of the credit for bringing Moore down. The woman was tenacious.
But James is still a badass. Hilarious that Hunter Moore sees himself as some kind of paragon of masculinity and power - James exudes that in spades, not least because of his respect for all women.
kinda mad they ignored her in this
Yeah it's like the guy saying on doctor Phil he single handedly brought down Andrew Tate. When it was much more powerful people than someone running a 501c3.
Spot on!
When he said he was "extremely good looking" I had to pause and laugh for a second.
He is good looking. Disgusting person tho
Right!?!?! Dude looks like if Jimmy Kimmel's parents were siblings.
🤣🤣🤣
cracked up laughing
i was in shock 💀
Every time I’m in a break up one of the first things I do is delete all the inappropriate photos. Not only out of respect for my ex, it’s just the right thing to do.
I know this sounds paranoid, but when you take a picture on your phone and your phone is connected to the cloud (which it most certainly is) , anyone has access to it. It's not just about you keeping those photos or your partner having those photos, it's about someone else taking those photos from you unawares. Everyone believes that their phone is a secure device, but it is very much not.
If you really want nude photos, I would recommend purchasing a Polaroid camera and keeping them in a physical lock box. It's bizarre, but it is totally private from the larger world and protects you and your partner.
Thought I was weird for doing this.
@@knowideas7184 If protecting your privacy is weird, then I don't want to be normal. :)
You’re such a good guy.
@@Kal-El207 I try but my man
"The only way for evil to prevail is if good men do nothing..." - Thank you James and to all of anonymous for taking down that scumbag from cyberspace. Huge thanks also for VICE for one of this huge service to all of mankind for raising awareness through these awesome documentation to such non-mainstream topics. Unfortunately Hunter's followers/ minions should be the next one to be monitored (tough to do but not impossible).
He didn't do anything of value. A mother of one of the victims contacted 19 other victims and took all of their information to the FBI. James did literally nothing of value. He looked at all of the CP on the site, and then paid Hunter $12,000 for the server full of CP.
@@kenfresno2125 No, he actually bought the domain. The data was somewhere else, don't know what happened to it, but James kept all the CP off his servers. He bought the domain name, then redirected it to his website. He shut the website down, effectively. That's something of value. Also, the mother contacted 40 other victims, so if you're going to criticize, at least get the numbers right of the person who you AREN'T criticizing for taking down the website.
The most mind-blowing part is how long it took for the authorities to act. I thought it was illegal to post pornographic material without the consent of the people involved? Yet they called him for interviews and such??
@@kenfresno2125 That's horrible!
@@kenfresno2125 It's very sad to hear. I hope this never happens again. Moms are truly amazing!
@@kenfresno2125 Indeed! I would've loved to learn more about her.
@@kenfresno2125 wait a minute now James did what
@@kenfresno2125 . . . James removed the CP from the website as soon as he bought it. Were you not paying any attention? And the only reason why he paid Hunter was so that he could remove the CP. Apparently you would prefer for the CP to remain on the internet as long as you get to maintain the righteous high ground of not paying Hunter. How virtuous.
One of my ex coworkers had an ex put some of her pictures on that site when she was 16. She tried getting it taken down and nothing happened. Her mom went to the police and they just said my coworker shouldn't have sent those pictures and that it wasn't an actual child porn website so there was nothing to do 🤷🏼♀️
It wasn't until the website actually got taken down that all this fallout happened and suddenly the police were actually interested in who posted the pictures and whether or not to pursue child pornography charges on top of some other stuff; spoiler alert, the police just dragged their feet and ended up letting everything get stagnant after all the hype of these websites died down. It was fucking ridiculous that it took the police YEARS to even look into anything.
And they wonder why slogans like ACAB go around and faith in the police is non-existant in some places.
We can all say good cops get a rep from bad cops, but stories like this show problems in a system and an unwillingness to help people robbed of their dignity
Should have gone straight to the FBI not local yokel Police department.

I never heard of this hunter guy until now?, but i'm glad they stopped him.
The same goes for me. I've never heard of the guy, lol
Well think about it. It was 2012.We didnt have social media like we have now. If thats done today,its a wholeeeeee different storie. He probably would be gone by now. After today,this guy will get recognized easily on the street. He prob changed his name by now 😂🤣
This was over 10 years ago, I’m 36 and remember a little about the site and as a woman in my 20s back then I worried about myself and my friends but it wasn’t something wildly popular. I think social media has changed a lot in the past decade and bc of that it wasn’t as viral as it could’ve been. But I also think nowadays this wouldn’t be tolerated. A lot of people are sick of the narcissist behavior and people like hunter so they wouldn’t give him the platform now. I know there’s still revenge p**n sites that exist but now we have laws to protect people so that helps a lot.

Thank you to everyone fighting for this! You guys are true heros!
Maybe people should stop posting everything on the internet so the problem would be much lesser. On an Instagram guy with his kid on his profile, I saw comment "I wish to be whipped by you" in a particular fetish profile. His profile wasn't private. You could see him and his kids.

@@kurrwa Do you want to know the kicker to my story, she never even sent him the picture, he bought her a new phone and offered to set it up for her and in the process, downloaded all her pictures and information on to his phone as well.... That's the scariest part, even if you decide to never send pictures people can still sometimes get ahold of them. That's why victim blaming is never a good coarse of action.. there's so many different ways this can happen and I don't think people fully realize this. While I agree people do post some awkwardly personal information online, they choose to share that information.
@@kurrwa are you dumb or slow? People didnt post their nudes online, they were texted to bfs and gfs (who became exes) that wanted “revenge” and posted their photos online. I hope you have enough brain cells to comprehend that 🙄
We need a more intelligent police force. They don’t know what to do, it’s not that they won’t help.
It wasn't a European site. As a matter of fact, in Europe this will get you arrested in a day.
Great Jobs James, it’s a shame sociopathic narcassists can commit so many crimes on others and walk away freely. Also scary not knowing what his delusional mind can bring him to do.

What a disgusting person. To ruin someone’s life just for fun is horrific. ESPECIALLY underaged girls. I don’t understand people like this 😣
Not that this excuses his behaviour. But he lived under his parents roof, this narcissistic behaviour was learned & normalized to him. His behaviour is anti-social & is maladaptive which indicates earlier trauma. Victimized children often grow up victimizing others unless an outside influence intervenes to show another way & to break the learned cycle of abuse.
You need to also blame those who posted on the website and those who went on his website. Hunter is the kingpin but he only created a platform for the millions of sickos out there
You should read through the comments here there are several hunter sympathizers who are trying to point out legal issues I hope they get Covid

When he said " extremely good looking" as a Black woman I'm so good on that. Don't pity me ,bro.
He wanted women to kill themselves, men like him literally hate to see women happy and living their life.
Because it’s something internal he lowkey hates himself
Lol
Unbelievable. So so sad that there are people like that in this world, and even sadder that he had so such a prominent following… thank you James for all your work
but its also so bueatiful that groups like anonymous exsist to fight it
@@egangray5590 u mean the feds
James is what every person should aspire to be. Nothing to gain apart from putting a horrible person down. Bravo!
It’s weird they had this man on the news doing interviews. Should’ve immediately had this taken down and him charged.
I was around 18 was isanyoneup came to fruition. My underage photos were posted on a revenge website similiar to / inspired by isanyoneup. Im 25 now and Hunter Moore’s name still makes me upset. He’s given so many people so much trauma… the “best” years of my life as a young woman were spent getting doxxed and stalked and harassed. I hope he gets every last bit of everything thats coming to him.
I am so sorry you went through that. That sounds absolutely terrifying. I agree with you - hunter moore is a monster
im so sorry i hope you are healing well
Absolute disgrace to humanity.

What a vile person! I can't believe the site wasn't able to be taken down sooner (by authorities) and it instead took a team of civilians. Thank God James and Anonymous took an interest in what was happening.
Oh, and the fact that his parents let him rock. DISGUSTING! He was very public about it all so they knew about it and supported him.. Tf?!
grateful he's not attracted to black women. 👍🏾 #protected
But he was tho, 2012 twitter lmao this guy did it all
@ᗩᒪIYᗩᕼ when he said “as an extremely attractive white man” i choked 💀 poor guy. delusion is running rampant these days
@@eris1279 attraction is subjective
Thank goodness
I am so grateful for James's existence. I'm so thankful he has a heart for the innocent and the bullied. James is the epitome of a good man. I'm very thankful for his connection to Anonymous and their desire to stop Hunter Moore. And the very creative way in which they did that. Thank you!
I feel bad for his Mom. Imagine how that home life has to be to put up with that kind of behavior from your son. Oof. Someone make sure she's okay too.
The parents of sociopaths and narcissistic people are often a big part of the problem.
Shitheads like Hunter don't have mothers.
They're a manifestation of society.
So you assume the mom is innocent but the dad isn't?
Naive as a muppet
@@freedfree7933 I don't think they were saying that. Im pretty sure he has mentioned being raised by a single mom before, but I could be wrong. Anyways, your kinda making a big assumption about OP.
@@d3pr0fundis Researchers believe that two paths can lead to psychopathy: one dominated by nature, the other by nurture. For some children, their environment-growing up in poverty, living with abusive parents, fending for themselves in dangerous neighborhoods-can turn them violent and coldhearted. These kids aren’t born callous and unemotional; many experts suggest that if they’re given a reprieve from their environment, they can be pulled back from psychopathy’s edge.
But other children display callous and unemotional traits even though they are raised by loving parents in safe neighborhoods. Large studies in the United Kingdom and elsewhere have found that this early-onset condition is highly hereditary, hardwired in the brain-and especially difficult to treat. Abigail Marsh, a researcher at Georgetown University who has studied the brains of callous and unemotional children, says that “We’d like to think a mother and father’s love can turn everything around, but there are times where parents are doing the very best they can, but the kid-even from the get-go-is just a bad kid.”
James deserves a donations page for what he did. I would be happy to donate a few bucks his way. Great job James and to anonymous as well.
But he lied saying he single handedly brought him down when it was the lawyers wife and CIA who did.
This is why I never gave anyone nude pictures. I'm not trying to sound righteous, I had the experience of a former boyfriend turning very nasty after breakup, stealing my things. Had he had a photo, I'm sure he would have done something with it. What an awful human being. Thank you James, Thank you Anonymous, Thank you Vice for reporting on this.
Righteousness dude that's called common sense
Yea I never had the urge to take photos and send them to boyfriends or whatever. People gotta realize if you send them to someone they’re gonna show everyone.
@@tater82 Ive never shown my girlfriend's intimate pics to anyone
@@thecooked8121 I'm not sure I would want to phrase it that way, but you're entitled to your point of view. I can understand sexy banter and wanting to tease your partner. My workaround was 'accidently' having my finger in front of the lens, covering all naughty bits except my face and shoulders.:) Whoops.
@@saratchandrabaskaran3927 Good. Also don't do it if the relationship ever ends (not saying I think you would). I had actually not expected my former boyfriend to turn so nasty, or even go through length as stealing an office chair (I had moved to Germany and still had some stuff to get from his house. He also stole wooden toys I had bought for any future children. Like weirdest stuff. He also had a high income, he didn't 'need' those things, he just ...wanted them?
Love this guy. Shame that no agencies took this seriously. Wonder if they would feel so dismissive if it was one of their wives he targeted.
James never reported this to the FBI. He just kept scrolling through the CP every day and "pretending" to be friends with Hunter, before paying him $12,000 for a server full of CP. A mother of one of the victims contacted the FBI, and that's why Hunter went to prison.
This guy is scarier than many serial killers, what he did is among the worst things that a human can do
Wasn't the worst thing. There are some things that are far, far worse.
I wouldn't go quite that far.
assuming you are talking about anonymous? Cuz the FBI def need to crack down on them.
@@iBeatBoxz8idk man you sound a lot like an FBI bot
I'm really confused with why it's people like James and Anonymous are the one on frontline dealing with the situation and not the authorities?
Is this legal or normal to be overlooked by the authorities?
Because authorities have conditional relations with these monsters. Who's not to say they are the ones who fund the authorities? There's already a lot of corruption in this world so it's plausible.
well back then there wasn’t really any laws regarding revenge porn ig that’s why
Because it’s legal
Exactly… fbi ?? Police !??
@@Mentally1943 it’s not. He stole the pictures by hacking. Hacking people is illegal. It’s also illegal to post minors. It’s also illegal to dox people by posting their addresses
I don’t know if Anonymous members read these, but thank you so much for your help! You’re real life heroes! James too definitely, I’m so glad we have wonderful people looking out for everyone.
anyone can be anonymous just get good skills and you can pretend to be one lmao
@@kurrwa you're absolutly right
Just don't use your own internet and your already anonymous
It's 2022 and people still think Anonymous is some huge secret group of genius hackers lmao.
The name literally comes from 4Chan. Unless you use a tripcode your name is just "anonymous." Ergo when people started forming groups and advertising via 4chan, the name Anonymous referred to anyone in that general group.
There's not, and probably never really was, some structured and large organization called Anonymous.
Anonymous is the government
Why would the media glorify him by putting him on their shows and bringing attention to his site?? Absolutely revolting! I swear the police are fcking *USELESS* when it comes to sexual crimes
This guy is a monster & should be "sweetheart" to the scariest dude in the worst prison we've got
James is a hero. He was not being directly affected by this atrocity so he could have easily ignored like many do. Buuut he wanted to protect women like a real man does. In this one video you can see both sides of a man; the worst and the powerful.
and now hes obsessed with hunter and his whole family was influenced by it, pretty bad decision making tbh, shouldve just hired someone to take hunter out rather than leaving him alive
I find it most disturbing that so many people actually visited the site but more so how many actually posted pictures and we're ok with doing that.

One of the few videos I've seen that REALLY make me regain my belief in mankind...

Take care of yourself everyone, and have a blessed Easter. From Alv, Norway
Damn, I cannot believe how lenient the sentence was for him!! That's not right at all, on top of all the website crap he did, the fact you have recordings of terroristic threats, what was the name of this Judge? Is Hunter the son of some kind of authority figure or something? Like is his mom a district attorney or something along these lines? He strikes me as a very spoiled child, who has no fears about repercussions for those actions for some underlying reason. Just my initial guess, idk this is the first I have heard of this clown.
Millionaires/ billionaires pay for children in the US & the world. After all , Jeffery Epstein didn't hang himself.
Neither did his accomplice in France who was jailed. Beyond Maxwell, who of importance went to jail?
@@jonathanse8977 yes exactly great points but that's why it doesn't make sense that Hunter is poor and broke with nobody behind him, he clearly does have someone or something behind him!
@@atmosrepair That is a fair assertion. With the state of the judicial system, u are prob right!!
@@jonathanse8977 he flashes cash, cocaine, and will openly make terroristic threats of violence, rape, etc. Posts incriminating photos of himself on Twitter. Wound up getting extremely light sentence, and his cell mate is a new buddy working with him to make a new site? In my mind this guy is either working with law enforcement himself, or has the support of very powerful people. Perhaps I am wrong, but something here doesn't add up.
@@helixrelicsshow9651 people killed themselves and then the terroristic threats on recording. I know people who have the book thrown at them for way less....
This is why we require good men, armed with knowledge and capable of action and violence to protect our backs from such scroundels.
lol... any excuse to advertise for the NRA hey!? Maybe u should bring up all the ppl murdered at random b/c of guns, with no good men around.
Perfectly said
9mm knowledge
You and your gun are not "a well-regulated militia" and are part of the problem, not the solution.
The solution to "bad people with guns everywhere," which you seem to fantasize about, is not to sprinkle in more armed people who you hope are "good guys" with guns (because apparently you don't want to say out loud that you don't have faith in police to do this work, literally police exist and I love how right wingers in their gun fetishism won't just honestly say that they don't trust police), but to create a society with less inequality and desperation and want and poverty that drives people insane, and drives people to commit crimes out of desperation.
@@KitC916 nice opinion. Now mind your own business.
Xoxo
only 2 years of jail time?What a joke. He should have been convicted for at least 10 years
Seriously! He could gave gotten the 2 years just for the terroristic threats! I am wonder if he doesn't have some kind of powerful parents because not only the lenient sentencing but also his complete lack of fear of repercussions.
I'd say death penalty. If ppl took there own lifes
@Lucidice Fcade there was young weomen taking there life's.
Because he thought he was some sort of big BOI dude
Naaa
He should have had to get abused in prison showers for years, I personally think.
Thank you all for doing this amazing work ❤️🤟🏼
You have to commend McGibney for dedicating so many of his years to fighting the face of evil. This man is a role model and hero that should be looked up to.
I laughed so hard when a death certificate was filed ! 😂
That’s just amazing! I would never want to be in the crosshairs of this guy, but I’m sure glad he & anonymous exist!
Dead man tell no tales
Anonymous doesn't exist.
Until it does. Without a cause to rally behind and enough skilled and interested individuals outside of government entities, anonymous doesn't exist and only comes into existence as a temporary group project.
James a *uking simp 😆 screw white knights
@@Ruintheus Anonymous is a group of activists
like greenpeace but tad more aggressive to get their goals
@@TheCallOfDutyFreak No. It sometimes is a group of activists. Anonymous isn't something you can concretely define like that. You can't just go to the Wiki and expect to understand how this works in reality.
My two cents:
-sooo glad it went good for once
-I want to be like James: rationalize your hate and anger in an aim
-I was kinda shocked to see that "person" invited in tv shows and allowed to describe his horrendous crimes like it was normal, ok being professional but that is a bit weird watching the others acting like nothing was out of place
Your last bullet point was exactly my thoughts, you'd expect some scumbag to invent something isanyoneup for the money, a hacker maybe setting it up so it could never be tracked back to them and funneling advertising money to some off shore account in the Dominican Republic. It is absolutely shocking to me that he can put his face and name out there for even 5 minutes, crazy. I would expect you'd be sued by one of the victims for 200K within 8 hours of launching this site. The fact that mainstream media invited him for interviews is insane. I think it's already questionable journalistically to report on the issue with the name of the website or creator, because it would draw people to it.
That's media for you, they'll give anyone first class treatment for high TRP.
i think they werent considered crimes back then. maybe they let him on to bring up the issue to light, that wah the public would demand for some kind of laws against this.
Just shows the state of "Info-tainment" in the US-- the more crimminally horrendous the action, the more engagement it gets. I genuinely blame the explosion of True Crime as a genre. Because before it got big, true crime was more about trying to bring justice to the victims and the families-- now it's judt another sick fascination. I garuntee you that if Hunter had gone on to murder someone, the new channels that interviewed him would be crowing about having gotten those interviews "first."
I love the man who took the sight down. My god he needs to have a statue and way more credit. What a great man.
This dude is the definition of someone so consumed by revenge that they devote their life to ruining them and anyone associated with them , in this case every woman , so crazy , glad he’s done
Man, James is a hero. I hope the victims will once see justice…
even if they don’t i just hope they find peace ❤️
James Mcgibney is an absolute hero. God bless him and his family.

The difference between a Rich person and a Poor person is how they use their time. Your Future is created by what you do Today not your Tomorrow.
The rich see an economic crisis as a garage sale and also the rich stay rich by investing and diversifying their portfolio with stock, crypto currency investment which is the wisest thing every individual need to do and it is really profitable.
You are right about that do you mind sharing with me how to get intouch with Mrs Amy Robinette. I have little to no knowledge about crypto currencies and I have seen the rise from 100 USD to over 50k USD in the last few years.
Thank you so much I will definitely reach out.
Wow, Is amazing to see people who have also invested with Amy Robinette. I thought am the only one she helped through this rough market.
I've always have a huge interest in cryptocurrency but i really don't know how to go about it, alot of people preach of getting a broker to trade for them but I'm yet to find one.
