This dude betrayed every single person he possibly could at any point in time
TL;DR: this guy was routinely selling stuff that he stole from apple. then he decided to "fix" everything by also selling his buyers to apple while also selling a bunch of his former colleagues at apple. for some reason, apple did not pay him for it, so he has betrayed them again and also in the meantime decided to sell the entire story about how apple screwed him to vice. i'm amazed how this guy can sleep at all.

Fact is more stranger than fiction... People who complicate life to the "T" somehow tend to sleep more peacefully then people who are straightforward.. Somehow the "Apple's double agent" is quite a contradictory orator.

"I am exhausted to the point that I don't care if they sue me" One should be weary of taking on a man with nothing to lose. It definitely took a lot of courage to come out to say it.
I am not sure what to make out of this.....Lew's ability to lead an interview that had much potential to be very uncomfortable impressed me a lot. Some things the interviewee said definitly made me a bit uncomfortable, but Lew lead the whole conversation very smoothly 👌

This guy is trying so hard to be Edward Snowden, but has no ground. I’m baffled how he is not realizing the situation he put himself in. What is his story? What is the heroic deed? He stole, he went to the source, give himself up. Now goes public. For which reason? There is no grey area here. I’m confused man. But he is much more confused than me.

Sound was very bad and this guy obviously was very scarce trying to avoid the core of the problem - Lew, please, do us all a favor and make a video where to explain (or try to explain) moving along the timeline
He comes off like he has no long-term plan. All of these confusing decisions are seemingly explained by impulse and what he thought could get him a quick buck, and then he was surprised that it didn't work out his way. I'm usually all for the little guy, but it seems like he was trying to play ball with the big boys and wasn't ready for it
Perfect Interview, really cool to hear that side of the story. I look forward to see what comes of this.
Ahh, nothing more awkward than ending a long work call with a stranger.

This was a such good conversation, bravo Lew. As an eye-opener on how apple works, the leak community and its inter-connectedness with the consumers of these leaks, it was super insightful. Our interest in the latest information on apple and these companies, puts a value to it and people who exist who are willing to take risks to benefit from it, introduced a new perspective I had never really considered.
the leaker BARKS like Otis
I do not feel bad for him for the actions that he took. He tried to play all sides and got bit. I also don’t like the way that Apple handled this, as they are showing the bigger community that their is not a benefit in helping them. It’s a tough case and hard to tell what the future will look like for Apple’s security.
Was interested in this but unfortunately between the audio quality and language barrier I had to bail

A Leaker? sounds like a bad joke haha, we can seriously come up with a better name then “Leaker” right? how about… Covert Leak Informant or Intelligence Collaborator Tinkle Informant
the more secrecy there is within a company the more valuable the information, the more internal leakers will try to make money because it will be worth more than their salary to some and also there is a dopamine satisfaction to be the one leaking the info.

apple screwed up not paying him. now the message apple is broadcasting is: work with us and turn on your "friends", we will not pay you and maybe, just maybe not sue you. Or, you can continue selling the leaks and make a grand on the side each month.

How good is Mint Mobile?
Guy is very young and have to be talented and knowledgeable about cyber security and stuff, otherwise how had he pulled something like this. Instead of taking sides and trying to figure out who is right and who’s wrong (because no one is right) how about using his talents for good. I’m Sure some cyber security company would like to hire someone like him.
Here’s an idea……make the products in America. Except then an iPhone would cost $2000 or more.

This does raise the question of whether all this tech journalism really is ethical? I'm glad Lew pointed it out We happily consume this content which people and businesses benefit from. But at the end of the day all this information is sourced out of potentially criminal activity.
Well, lots of interesting aspects to this story. Kinda stupid of Apple not to just throw the guy some money, they have plenty of money and ultimately you want to encourage whomever is working on the other side to turn on their friends. If the story stays quiet, well you have the information. If the story comes out then you have more people at your door ready to give you more information. Now the word is out: turn on your leaker 'friends' and Apple will leave you holding the bag and may sue you. Isn't this the entire reason the bug bounty program exists? Although hearing from this guy makes me think there is more to the interaction between him and Apple... I don't mean to be rude but he seems like he may have asked for something other than money from Apple, maybe to go live at Apple Park or some other kind of thing.
A can barely understand a word he’s saying

Great haircut dude
He gave Lew an exclusive...too bad Lew didn't use it to full potential. I mean, package the guy like the media did for Snowden man! I'm sure that's what he's hoping for too! Not casually chat like your usual guests... Btw, the final lesson is to never trust anyone...he started it, then took it to Apple as if blackmailing them, and then got cut by Apple later on, and now he's switching back. So you can say he's got it coming, but also if Apple is treating people who've helped them to improve their systems like the way they treated him, it'll only discourage future bugs from being reported and risking consumer's safety in the long run so Apple's got to get it together, and Andrey needs to find a new purpose in life but do not lose conscience just because of this experience. Focus what you think is good for you and look out for yourself in the future if you have something valuable then keep it close to your chest until you're assured to be rewarded with whatever you're expecting. In your case, you've felt what you did was wrong so you went to Apple, and in return you actually got paid back by feeling you did the right thing and that's the end. If you were expecting more compensation perhaps it'd be wiser to put it on contract beforehand. It's really a cruel world simply because people behave by thinking like so, which is why we need to be more vigilant.
You should've asked him why he think Apple used him. Was it because Apple didn't pay him for discovering bugs & revealing other people involved in the leaks?
This guy flips more than Simone Biles!
Great interview, yet I think way more negative may come. Now his face is known and your business is linked with him. Risky move.

Well, his face is pretty too. He's a pretty man, huge shame he went completely public like this. I don't buy his official story. I worked in "competitive intelligence" before.. He was likely blackmailed pretty bad as he got nothing from the exposee.. He'll need to stay extra safe from now on, as Apple's thousands of shareholders worldwide won't like this one bit, and you're bound to find some who won't be as "live and let live" and pacifist as Apple is, especially in places like Russia or Ukraine. While Apple's employees are harmless and quite pleasant people to be around, some of the people around the company, and many of the more powerful players who have interests in Apple continued dominance, definitely aren't "let bygones be bygones" types of this translates to losses :/
He’s stoned af
