It amazes me how many of these people start off by saying they had fairly good childhoods. Mark digs a bit deeper and it comes out that they have had no decent role models and have been incarcerated from a very young age. I will never complain about my childhood ever again.

It’s hard for me to have sympathy for this guy. I was the victim of credit card theft and being a single mom, it almost ruined me .....it took forever for me to get it straightened out. It ruins your credit( and I had excellent credit) and basically your life for a long time. And I busted my ass working 3 jobs to make ends meet. I hope he realizes how his actions can really hurt someone and in my case, my child as well. He may not have been the one to hack, but he was on the receiving end and he’s still guilty.

I check all my accts every day or every other day. Back in Feb of this year had 20 transactions of 75.29 out of a liquor store in Mexico ( I live in NJ) total of about 1500 taken from my MC. Bank fixed it in less then a week. Constantly keep tabs of all your accts and catch any fraud early is the key, even if not using them, always check!

I had my card ripped off first time £30, second time at a different location £3000, then third time £16,000 (UK Pounds)..! All in one day!!! One of the most stressful situations ever. Needless to say after it was sorted out, I no longer have a credit card. People like this guy has destroyed peoples lives! He has no idea the effects this has on people. Thankfully my bank realised I don’t spend like this and eventually reimbursed the debt but until that point it was the most disruptive and stressful time. What an a-hole.

These videos are loved by so many as they show the realness of life..many thanks for your hard work
One of the most interesting interviews you've done! Completely enjoyed the conversation and story. Thank you!
As someone who has very little but has had their one credit card stolen electronically MANY times - RAGE. I feel RAGE. EDIT to add: Single mom putting kid thru college. Worked THREE jobs to put myself thru college. Ive been working overtime on the pandemic for over a year now, unpaid because you save people as a CALLING not for the money, and I hope this guy and those like him realize we all control how we react to hard circumstances. I was left for broke by my ex, literally buying a bag of sale potatos so my kid could eat, telling her I wasn't hungry. I worked my way out of that and back to my career. I don't make a lot of money and I put a lot towards my kids education. I get zero help with her and shes a great kid. Her reaction to her trials has been to get a 4.0 in college and work two jobs. When our ONE credit card gets stolen and all our auto pay bills bounce - SHAME on you for stealing from us. Its NOT harmless. Banks are not the Red Cross - what they lose, they pass on to those of us struggling in the way of high interest rates. You REALLY HURT people as much as stabbing them when you steal their only sense of security.

If that same victim only has that one viable card, then you're extra fooked. Used to be, the Bank would do a fraud alert, replace the card (average time of arrival = 2 weeks) and almost instantly credit the money back to your account...now, they make you wait 10 days for the return of funds. If you're financially embarrassed, that is a hard spot to end up in.

Everybody check the "alerts" section with their bank or card provider, especially set alerts for purchases "over set dollar amount" (perhaps $100-200). Many useful alerts available, depending on bank, that can catch fraud quick. Debit cards especially, harder to get money back. Also most have comprehensive fraud protection (complex computer algorithms) that are very good now at instantly blocking "suspect" transactions, without us ever knowing (card numbers are constantly guessed and bombarded with worldwide fraud attempts).

"Carding" that's an old school term. I used to do a lot of hacking back in the day and had an *ignorant* amount of card information including names, phone numbers, address, etc. This was before the CCV days and I really thought about using that information a handful of times, glad I never pulled the trigger and eventually deleted the file. I had kept it around as sort of a "trophy" but thankfully I saw how that could quickly and easily become a huge problem/liability in the future for whatever reason.

“Childhood” as in “child” maybe? See since calling anyone under the age of 20 a child is a little vague, they actually created a word to specifically identify someone in their teens; “teenager”. I’m aware this may be college level vocabulary for some states curriculum. So to recap, and as he specifically stated 13-19, I’m thinking he meant what he said, and it made perfect sense. I know the need to make needless corrections on KZread texts, but try to make sure you’re not be one with the disconnect.

Yeassss!! Been waiting for this one. Thanks Mark!
Most interesting video. I've been hacked.....somebody got a big screen tv back in 2008 at my expense....good to see he is now helping others with his channel.
I used to watch Inside the Actors Studio, now I watch these
This was a fresh episode. I didnt want this to end.
The best ones are the ones where they aren’t afraid to tell their stories. I appreciate his honesty. Wishing him the best

As a native born south Floridian at 34 years old I shit you not you couldn’t believe how many people grow up like this down there. Crime is literally everywhere in every neighborhood on every corner. Like he said in the right place at the right time, so many people I grew up with have that same story right place right time and “just figured it out” it’s a different country down there I can’t even explain it.
Wanted to watch the warden interview but I couldn’t without comments. These things need to be in theater or live
At first glance I thought he was a heavy duty gangsta! After this I'm getting Lifelock. Great stuff Mark 👏
Yeah he’s well spoken and all that, but that lack of remorse especially after me personally seeing the hurt in my mother getting her hard earned money stolen makes me hope this guy gets everything taken from him right at the moment he feels like he made it life. I can only imagine how many lives he ruined doing this scumbag shit.

Thank you! Reading all these comments from people who are praising this thief while I’m sitting here thinking what a piece of shit and he has the balls to sit there and say he has no remorse! 🤯 He’s obviously never worked hard to earn his money. His KZread channel “is his life” and with only 1500 subscriber and a total of 25,000 views altogether, he’s either still conning to get by or still living off the money he stole from decent honest citizens. 😡 No way his channel is generating much income every month. Probably pennies. I guess it just pisses me so much bc I know how hard my wife and I work almost every week for our money and can’t imagine some dousche coming and taking it. I hope he experienced what that feels like one day. It’s the only thing that might make him realize how fucked it is to steal peoples savings. With no remorse, he must be a sociopath.

Yes. I'd add Frenchie and Clark Fredericks to that. And all the drugs addicts, they're just walking death. They are dead already, and they were even dead before they even started their habit. It's the end result of a mindset. Outside of that is where you will find actual humanity, actual life and interesting life stories.

I have a hard time with somebody that won't do a self-assessment relative to the harm they've done to people that were simply trying to raise a family, pay their bills, and live their lives.
Unfreakin believable ! What an insightful video !
He started by saying that he didn't have a bad childhood then at the end talked about how his childhood was so crazy and wild; being on the street homeless for so many years.

Like he said. He wasn't abused or anything like that. He just didn't have adult role models around so he was raised by the street culture as a child. At that age you are still very maliable and don't consider long term consequences like you do as you develop into an adult. People like this show a tremendous amount of perseverance to be able to grow out of it, struggle, grow, learn, and move forward. He could have easily given up at any point and continued to hustle from the dark side.

I think when people are asked about their childhood, they immediately think of their parents. You grow up real fuckin fast when you're a young teen on the streets doin dirt and serving time. That period if your life would not be what you automatically think of when someone asks about your childhood.
Crazy how quick and analytical he is
I don't know what it is about this guy, but I am so drawn to him. Just fascinating the level of intelligence.
I feel like this guy could have had a great career in something legit and still made millions. Wishing him well with his tattoo venture and his KZread channel ❤️🙏🏽
A common response is at the start when they're asked about their childhood they answer it was normal, then at the end it changes to being crazy and the opposite to their first answer. 🤔

He said his childhood was normal at the start up to about 13, and then mentioned at the end his teen years were crazy, homeless ect. Also it's a very common response for people who have led a hard life or more unconventional one to answer with "yea normal, or it was good, could have been worse" myself included. We don't define ourselves by our past and don't hold it to such a abnormal standard. Then you have the people who all they want to talk about is how fucked up there past was and never are able to grow internally past it, they are stuck there. This man has just grown internally is all.
