The summary of the email exchanges is pretty great: FBI: plz put the crime data in a location we picked Criminal: lol no way. I'll upload it. FBI: no we need it on a card. Criminal: OK but I'll pick the place. Also I've never crimed before FBI: No plz use our place. Criminal: OK

I guess this guy's long drives *with his wife* to deliver classified information to a location an internet stranger told him to use gave this guy a lot of time to overthink how to safely communicate with that amazingly helpful stranger in the future. There is a parable here.pic.twitter.com/SR3ryJIIS6

After the FBI had given him $30,000 to fully incriminate himself (and his wife! I can't get over that part!), the guy went on to explain in detail that he'd need to ask for more money in the future to make sure it wasn't all a setup.pic.twitter.com/GHn51Mynr7

To summarize again: Criminal: I want $100K for this data, which I will encrypt and upload because it's 2021. The high price guarantees you're not the Feds. FBI: We need you to put it in a tree stump in Surveillance Park, and we only have $30K. Criminal: OK. I'll bring my wife.

The criminal complains to the FBI that the most recent time they asked him to bring incriminating documents, there was only one place to park and a huge observation tower. At this point you have to assume there was an FBI betting pool in full swing.pic.twitter.com/d2dfo3BQkv

The full text of the thing is worth reading: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1440946/download …. I like how the "[sic]" here is the FBI's final dagger into this guy's lonely heart.pic.twitter.com/DX9Dyocase

I want to read the part of the complaint where TOEBBE is convinced by his FBI handler that he should use half a peanut butter sandwich to hide the SD card because a whole sandwich is "too risky".
