[QUOTE=Beetle179;48181186]I'm very curious what about this totally normal, uncompromising picture makes you think "disturbed" And also what this is even supposed to imply Kid sounds very troubled psychologically; it's good to see that He could actually be pretty useful in the IT world if he gets the help he needs, I think, and hopefully such a lenient sentence will only help towards that.[/QUOTE] his life is ruined
[QUOTE=ThatDerpyCode;48179629]He only got 240 hours of community service, but then again his life is ruined now.[/QUOTE] Not hardly and not by half. Literal wrist slap and nothing constructive offered for rehabilitation.
[QUOTE=Beetle179;48181186]I'm very curious what about this totally normal, uncompromising picture makes you think "disturbed"[/QUOTE] Its probably the hunched shoulders, the wide looking startled eyes and his posture. Disturbed isnt the word i'd use, but he looks like he hasn't gotten a lot of sleep
So how do you know this is the same guy behind sethhack?
[QUOTE=isnipeu;48183107]So how do you know this is the same guy behind sethhack?[/QUOTE] He used to moderate ExiledServers. The original info about his crimes came out a little after he and his friend Stan closed shop with SethHack and disappeared completely with rumors of getting into deeper stuff. Seth always had issues with his gender from what I remember, and from my experience was never a talker - at least not around people like me. Sadistic Slayer is someone that's more qualified to talk about him personally - in fact Sadistic was the first one to tell me about this before Soleedus talked to me about it. I, for one, feel really sorry for him despite the fact that he knew better. I think he's a broken guy.
Everything about this is depressing.
I don't see anything wrong with the picture.

I think this was around the time where he just went around on gmod trolling and trying to make an aimbot or something. I didn't talk to him for years until garry asked me if I knew him cause he was trying to sue him or something for ddossing facepunch or something. Since then he disappeared.

[QUOTE=Bitch_Made;48186871][img]http://i.imgur.com/7D7QI1Q.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] "I just injected female hormones that i bought from a guy in the street" That's fucked up.
Seth was a very weird individual. I talked to him quite frequently back in the day. Before he disappeared and went off the deep-end/disappeared he started doing drugs. Also, he used to make strange jokes regarding things like gender. I previously worked on a gamemode for his community and [url=http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1203047]was at one point banned on FP for releasing a gamemode/"being seth" (only golds can view this I believe)[/url]. It's kind of interesting to know what happened to him after all this time, sad to hear this is what happened to him. [quote] His family have since played a key role in supporting his recovery to the point where he is now completing his A-levels and hoping to go to university [/quote] At least there is still some hope though. It's a bit surprising he only received basically a slap on the wrist. [QUOTE=Bitch_Made;48186871].[/QUOTE] Yeah, he sent me stuff like that as well. I was digging around my old laptop where I frequently talked to him. Back in 2012 he told me something along the lines of "I am going to do this (sethhack/etc) for 3 years, then go back to school" (he was 15 at the time) [img_thumb]http://puu.sh/iWQhc/fc889fb4c9.png[/img_thumb] You know, it is actually somewhat impressive that he hosted and sold SethHack when he was only 15. Most kids at that age can barely get past sv_allowcslua. Also it's possible a large chunk of that £70K wasn't from DDoS for hire like the article says. However when the investigation occurred, they probably assumed "ddos cloudflare = ddos for hire". [img_thumb]http://puu.sh/iWNV6/db83c125ab.png[/img_thumb] I just noticed as well that he stopped contacting me March 9th of 2013, the same month that it seems he was busted. I had always wondered where he went, I thought he literally had disappeared/changed internet identities - but in reality this is what happened.
The "child porn" was pictures of his girlfriend who was also his age. I'm friends with one of Seth's close friends who had told him about the situation.

[QUOTE=0xymoron;48187826]The "child porn" was pictures of his girlfriend who was also his age. I'm friends with one of Seth's close friends who had told him about the situation.[/QUOTE] Nearly 1000 lewd images of 1 person? Unless it was their job, that's a very large amount.
[QUOTE=0xymoron;48187826]The "child porn" was pictures of his girlfriend who was also his age.

Even 10, 15 a day would take weeks.
[QUOTE=EditOutJ;48187911]Nearly 1000 lewd images of 1 person? Unless it was their job, that's a very large amount.[/QUOTE] Hypothetical situation: Would a video count as one image or each individual frame? I too find it hard to believe that someone would have nearly 1000 images of one person.

Guys can you please just remember that although you might not like some of the things Seth did, he's still a human with feelings and shit, don't be a dick.

I don't want to see people go that far. Meanwhile there's a bunch of people that want his head on a stick and I'm sitting here wishing he had help.
Seth is in the UK, right? How does being a sex offender work in the UK? Was he forced to register as one? Assuming such a thing exists in the UK. Here in the US a crime like that would land you on a sex offender list, which might as well be a "no-hire" list for employers.
What a stupid person. He made so much fucking money off that shit and he used it on female hormones and child porn. He could have bought property and gotten into legit business. And no way those nudes are of his girlfriend, no girl would date somebody that fucking stupid.
[QUOTE=0xymoron;48187826]The "child porn" was pictures of his girlfriend who was also his age. I'm friends with one of Seth's close friends who had told him about the situation.[/QUOTE] Highly unlikely..... to be classed as child images, they have to be under the age of 16. So he would have just under 1000 images of his girl friend? So they only other option is that he was also downloading other images of children under the age of 16. 13-16 year olds don't go looking for images under the age of 16, they just go to 18 rated sites. It seems much more likely he is in denial of his sexual conviction and down playing it (just my girl friend) excuses to his friend. Instead of taking responsibility of his actions... he's minimising it.... Suffering from a mental illness also does not make a explanation also, it can contribute to someone breaking the law... but we all have the option to do it or not. Blaming mental illness is also minimising it.... Mental illness is something i know a lot about, as I have lived for it for a long time. I never use it as a excuse.

Seth was most likely not put on the register due to his age when he was offending. If he was over 18 at the time, he would have been put on the sex offender register, been put on a sex prevention course and been monitored for sexual activity on his computer. hopefully his family will be more supportive and he will have the will power to change.

Don't know how owning a copy of his cheat would make me biased towards him but okay haha. I'm only saying this because I knew the guy, and he was quite a nice guy.
Wow I had no idea Seth did any of this, I had him on steam for a while and I helped him with his dark RP server, seemed like a pretty cool guy when I was talking with him.

[QUOTE=raklatif;48180461]funny how kids think this is seth from SethHack[/QUOTE] i remember your name from a good few years ago funnily enough, being salty enough to launch various ddos attacks on my server for weeks after i banned you for using SH. hope your ego has shrunk a bit since then, idk how old you were but jesus you were full of yourself.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;48188147]No, videos are grouped separately.[/QUOTE] What if I have saved a movie frame by frame as images, would that count as a video or a shitton of pictures. Actually, if I have a thousand ever so slightly different images of the same thing, would that be one or lots of images? Digital information makes things weird.
I where an admin on his server, tried to teach him E2. He was acting a bit depressed but else nothing abnormal around my age (15-16). It was around the time he made his aimbot, he started to fell into a hole. Later he started to sell his 'script' and run around DDOS people who blocked it. I remember as I started my own community and unfriended him. I would guess the "money laundry" was part of sethhack.
[QUOTE=Cushie;48193337]pictures/videos of people under 18 is classed as child porn, not 16. totally wrong. For it to be classed as indecent image, they have to be 16 or under....
