I've worked for " a family" and know about watcher. This is UK based so the watcher is probably Scottland yard and the family is MI5. The're looking for Iridium. What the hell for? ???

What on earth is this guy on about?

Dedevil, do try to write coherently and rationally or we may be tempted to think you are incoherent and irrational.

Barking mad or what?

Diohuni, you're evidently not familiar with our forum denizen Mr. Devil. He knows what Chuckie is just like the rest of us who have followed the story, he's just trying to find out if he can get you all screwed up.

Am already all screwed up! So he's a bit late on that one, but thanks for the advice. Just like to make sure there is a challenge to the bs and not let such loons have the free run of it.

By the way, we suspect that the Quadro Tracker, which morphed into the MOLE, SNIFFEX and subsequent incarnations such as GT200, ADE651 etc etc may have been inspired originally by the Afilani Electroscope, hence part of our interest in LRLs.

Like I said, he's just trying to get you all screwed up. His worldview is that he's the devil, and if you're not prepared to debate him with that premise as a given, best to just ignore him.

I would have said that he's playing Devil's Advocate, but that implies the Devil is advocating himself! Perhaps that's the intention, to make you go round in ever increasing circles until your head explodes.
It's best not to take the bait.

Nope.
It's Dedevil trying to provoke a response.

Too bad, I liked the photo and the funny message that accompanied it. Looks like we're living in the post-h3tec era now. Chuckie was right, the monster he created was the monster from which in the end he could not hide, and it ate him. Evidently ate his buddies too, to my knowledge none of them has surfaced again yet.

Here's my theory as to what happened.

1. Chuckie grew up in a world without the Internet. The circle of victims could always be bigger. Trouble is that in a world with the Internet, the circle of victims could grow even faster, and the circle of people who knew what was going on could grow even faster yet. Before his game unravelled I explained that it was being run on the principles of a religious personal obedience cult, principles with which I am very familar.

2. His victims are keeping quiet for the customary reasons: shame at having been victimized, and the blackmail system created by the cult leader Chuckie who painted the whole operation as a friendly family matter so go ahead and bare your deepest secrets.

3. He's keeping quiet because he burned creditors and he's hiding from them. Even the H3TEC domain seems to have become a liability rather than an asset.

A couple of months ago I pinged a cult member to see what happened to good ol' Chuckie. I figured maybe, just maybe, this guy would have started to figure things out, he's otherwise pretty sharp. Err, no, still a True Believer to the core. I'm sure all the cult members will gladly tell us that Chuckie's struck it rich, and the laugh is on us.

Forum is still up, oddly.
