That seriously sounds like something Novak's Ryan Howard character would do.

[Nutsack]

That is really cool as hell. Wow. I wonder if he used it a lot.

[Foogoowoman]

Yeah it really might be a good idea to look up the statute of limitations before confessing to some pretty extreme white collar crime

I like thinking about when this happened because it had to have been like 1993, as the internet was coming out, way before people gave a shit about security of personal information on a larger scale, and he went to the fucking library to look up polling records. I love it.

If that's true, he had to be a smart fucking kid.

That's some Frank Abagnale shit. If you think this sort of stuff is interesting and don't know who he is you should definitely look him up. There is even an old Dicaprio/Hanks movie about him.

I hadn't until a week ago and I spend a lot of time watching movies so I guess there are others. It's 14 years old and everyone isn't as into movie watching.

Its a great movie regardless. Its scary how much you could get away with back then. There were loopholes and lapses in security everywhere.

Imagine if the signature on the back of your credit card was the only security you had against somebody stealing your bank information.

So like is he in legal trouble or what?

honestly since it was so long ago I wouldn't imagine he'd get in any serious trouble. it's pretty serious what he did but he did this in the 90's, so who knows if any charges will be pressed after so long.
