Ryan Montgomery - #1 Ethical Hacker Who Hunts Child Predators Catches One Live On Podcast | SRS #56
this is the most evil the most. disturbing. in the darkest episode we have ever. released on the Sean Ryan Show. it has to do with. Predators who are praying sexually on. children. Ryan Montgomery the number one ranked. ethical hacker in the world has. dedicated his life.
to hacking into these websites and. exposing the Predators who are preying. on our children. to the world and he has thousands and. thousands of names now. that he's releasing. this is going to save a lot of kids and. I want you to share this with everybody. you know. the public needs to be informed of this.
and here's how the kids are going to be. saved because everybody says oh share my. stuff right here's how they'll be saved. every parent that watches this. smarten up on what their kids doing on. the internet. every kid that watches this. is going to smarten up. and become aware of how prevalent this. stuff is on the internet and every one. of you predators. that's watching this. it's going to put the fear of God into. you because when you're caught.
you will be humiliated. and hopefully in prison. that's how this is going to save these. kids. people are going to smarten up they're. going to realize this is everywhere this. is on every social media platform every. chat room everywhere you go. on the internet these people are hanging. out. and unfortunately we have to fight. censorship here because here's one thing. these Predators have a lot of powerful.
people. throughout the world. and government in Hollywood all over the. place. that are sticking up for this community. so we've done everything we possibly can. to avoid censorship we have demonetized. it ourselves this isn't about money this. isn't about advertising this is about. saving kids and that's it so we've. demonetized the video ourself we've.
pulled footage we've bleeped every bad. word. on this video. in hopes that it does not get censored. because the masses and the people need. to watch this now. this is a battle between good and evil. and I can tell you right now. good is losing. unless people like you start to stand up.
and get loud about this subject this. isn't about politics. this isn't even about the country this. is about kids all over the world this is. happening. please pay attention. and share this with everyone you know if. you want to see the unedited stuff. it'll be on my patreon. and it will be on Rumble in a few days. in patreon. like I said we demonetize this one you.
you alone. or who's making this possible so thank. you for the support because if it wasn't. for you this wouldn't be happening. with that being said. I want to just say Ryan Montgomery. I'm real proud to know you man and it. was a real honor to have you in here and. get this interview and educate the world.
on what you're doing and how these. predators are reaching our kids. and it's an honor to be your friend. thank you one last thing. if you did get anything out of this. please take 10 seconds out of your day. and go to Spotify and go to Apple. podcast and leave us a review and tell. us what you got out of this that helps. the algorithm push these episodes. farther.

foreign. [Music]. [Music].
[Music]. Montgomery welcome to the Sean Ryan Show. van thank you for having me it's an. honor to have you so I found you I found. a a. maybe a 30-second short on Instagram and. we'll get into that later of you.
exposing I believe it was a father. who was exploiting his daughter in a. bathtub you would hacked in and. exploited that and so I reached out. thinking there's no way in hell this. guy's gonna give me the time of day. because it doesn't look like you're very. active on the on the gram and then yeah. and then I got you yeah so I'm like I'm. just super excited to be here uh. interviewing you right now dude you are. just you are doing amazing things.
saving who knows how many kids you know. I mean if you think of the impact of. what you're doing you know we'll get. into it. you'll never know the full impact of how. many kids that you've saved by kids. smartening up about what they're doing. online parents smartening up about what. their kids are doing online and. these pedophiles you're going to put the. fear of God in them oh for sure and so. that's the goal there's going to be less. of them preying on on on these kids so.
anyways we'll get into all that stuff I. just wanted to say I'm how excited I am. likewise I'm very excited to be here and. uh it means the world to me and and uh. especially that the the reach that you. have the amount of parents that will be. educated based on some of the stuff that. we talk about here even if we save one. kid it's worth it yes so let me give you. a little bit of an intro here you're the. number one ranked ethical hacker in the.
world you're a Serial entrepreneur cyber. security professional and now a child. safety warrior with your company 561 PC. uh not my com 561 PC is not a company my. company is actually pen tester which is. a cyber security. company.com 561 PC is an organization. that that I created with my friend. Dustin labros or Scrappy's a. professional MMA fighter we'll get into. that soon and your goal protecting.
children and trying to make South. Florida and the world a better place by. catching one child predator at a time. that's. that's a damn good goal uh you go by. zero day on Instagram you're like a. modern day vigilante uh just some stuff. about your hacking life zero day code. for discovered. security vulnerable vulnerability with. zero days to fix the flaw that's the. meaning of it 19 plus years hacking.
you're self-taught no college no formal. education. you claim to have imposter syndrome. uh you mentor and teach others on how to. learn this trade you've made money from. working with Amazon PayPal and Facebook. and you say that hacking is the best. decision you've ever made in your life. sometimes you hack up to 10 hours a day. yeah yeah or more but uh you know. working with some of those big companies. there would be through bug Bounty.
programs I don't know if you're familiar. with them I'm not uh that was prior to. to uh us starting pentester.com which is. a cyber security platform for small. medium-sized businesses at the moment to. make sure that they're safe online to. check for data leaks to to check you. know wear your face where your identity. is being broadcasted all over the. Internet which goes you know hand in. hand with what we're we're doing with. Predators. um and. the.
I'm sorry um got mixed up there. it's all good while you're thinking. every guest that comes on the show gets. a gift. oh wow there you go go ahead open it up. got vigilance or no vigilance Elite. gummy bears that's right made in the USA. legal in all 50 states. Gummy Bear right now.
and wow how did you find out about this. we researched you well I know you love. Rich cheese crackers you eat what is. chicken tenders every day at noon at. Burger King and uh Campbell Soup every. night I quit the I quit the um I quit. the the uh Burger King. um and now I'm on the Chick-fil-A. at 12 30. I do eat Ritz Ritz Bits cheese. crackers.
um every single day Campbell's chicken. noodle soup actually I walked two miles. last night to Walmart I could have. ubered but I walked two miles last night. to Walmart to get uh to get one single. can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup. and uh didn't realize there was a. microwave in the hotel room so I even. contemplated putting the metal can on. the iron to heat it up so that something. I could eat it last night you want two. miles for a can of Campbell Soup yeah. for a 99 cent can of Campbell's Soup yep. incredible well if you come here again.
I'll have that weight in your hotel room. for you yeah it's all right but uh. so moving on in the interview you have a. interesting childhood it sounds like. overcoming addiction uh I want to get. into your childhood how you got into. hacking. um some of the stuff we can do to. protect ourselves from hackers what. hackers are capable of and and then the. second half of the interview I want to. get into all the stuff you're doing.
catching these Predators okay that's. very interesting this is going to be one. of the most informative interviews I've. ever done but um. keeping it light right off the bat how. did you get. how did you get involved with Facebook. and Amazon and who is Paypal okay so. that was actually what I was thinking. about prior to you giving me the awesome. gifts. um what a bug Bounty program is so I. don't personally own a bug Bounty. program but I work with you know a team. I have a team of hackers that we we all.
work together on projects uh we and to. do that legally there's things called. Bug bounties so companies like Amazon. Facebook YouTube Netflix all the huge. companies out there they offer they. offer a monetary uh value for a bug or a. vulnerability that's found in their site. so what I mean by help protect these. large organizations it is through their. bug Bounty program they may not be a.
direct client of the company or some of. them maybe you know but uh can't really. talk about that publicly but yes uh I've. helped protect all of the all of the. above so basically this is like some. type of a red adult program where you. try to penetrate these these big tech. companies and then they they basically. give you they give you a reward if you. reveal how you did it right so you you. have to reward how I'm sorry you have to. reveal how you did it so they'll let's.
say it's a informational bug an. informational bug could be you forgot. that a page exists and it shows some. some uh some of your employees. information so that may be informational. if it doesn't impact anything further. than that whereas something very. critical like I could get access to your. server or all the credit cards or all. your clients attached to your company. that would be a critical vulnerability. um and these companies are willing to. pay depending on the severity of that. vulnerability so Apple for example if.
you were able to take over an iPhone. they'll pay you a million dollars for. something like that they'll pay you a. million dollars yeah a million dollars. for it with they call it a zero click. exploit meaning I can send you something. that you won't even know happened and I. have full access to your phone million. bug bounty have you done that before no. no I haven't uh I haven't personally. found any any uh bugs in the new iPhones. um but uh if if I did I'd be sure to. report it to Apple so what if you don't.
mind me asking what's the biggest Bounty. you've collected and what was it for. um I can't tell you what it was for uh. but I could tell you how because there's. a disclosures and there's. non-disclosures so I can't I can't. disclose the the company or what what. the vulnerability was but it was for. over uh it was 128 000 in credit on a. platform I chose that over the cash. really so these are these are good sized. bounties yeah how many how many bounties. have you collected.
um. I don't know I quite quite a bit 100 200. uh if you combine my team hundreds. hundreds yeah but that isn't what I. focus on anymore uh it's I focus on the. cyber security business which is all. software and uh and that's you know a. lot a lot more guaranteed whereas bug. Bounty not there's nothing nothing. against people that do bug bounties but. it's not guaranteed uh revenue or income. that's you you have to just keep taking.
shots at companies trying to find. something and hope that you get paid. where there's there's no stability in. that oh yeah there's there's bug bounty. hunters that make a million dollars two. million dollars a year but then the next. year maybe they make 10 grand or less so. they make or they spend you know six. months on one project and they make zero. dollars. um it's just not it's the same it's not. sustainable for me so I started a. company with my business partners Rick. Sean and Dan and uh like I said it's.
called pentester.com it's very simple. you just go to the site you put in the. name of your website you press scan and. it does a preliminary scan tells you. what you know basically. if you're if you if you have any like. low hanging fruit vulnerabilities uh and. leaks you know like passwords associated. with your emails or your employees and. um you can sign up for an account and. do a more invasive scan that will give. you a lot more information interesting. interesting well let's let's dive into.
your childhood sure where'd you grow up. I grew up outside of right outside of. West Philadelphia in Delaware County. Pennsylvania. and. uh I yeah I lived there most of my life. what were you into as a kid. um for the most for the most part I was. a normal kid but after eighth grade or. so or starting eighth grade I started to. meet the wrong people and I was in the. wrong places doing the wrong things and.
I met some people that were on drugs. that were a little older than me. and I started to uh started to adapt and. I started to go to these at that time. there was a rave scene in Philadelphia. and I really liked that I loved going to. the Raves and uh doing doing drugs you. know and and acting acting like a nut. you know and I I was just a young kid. that nobody knew that out and I never. told anybody my age back then I to be. honest with you I I was lying to people.
about my age back then. and uh those Raves turned into getting. you know doing ecstasy and other types. of drugs at the Raves and I found out. over time that uh I didn't really like. the Raves as much as I like the drugs. and then I figured out that when I took. when I took something to come down from. the Ecstasy that I actually liked when I. was coming down from the Ecstasy with. more than I like the ecstasy really yeah.
which was uh opiates. and uh that turned into a bigger problem. yeah that can turn into a massive. problem did you did you think you were a. full-on addict. um at the time yeah I was I was in full. belief that I was a drug addict you know. I was physically withdrawing from. opiates at one point in my life so yeah. I had every reason to believe that I was. um and I don't know how far you want to. go into it at this point but there was.
there was a time where I realized that I. went through a bad phase as a child but. I do know that addiction exists I have a. lot of it in my family. um especially my dad's side and um. and I did some things to combat that uh. you know because of those reasons but uh. me personally I haven't used drugs or. alcohol in a very long time since I was. a child pretty much and um no drugs just. uh but I wouldn't say that I'm in. recovery either I just I kind of moved. away from that.
what was the family life like good. family life you close with your parents. so I I was I'm very close with my mom my. grandfather passed away a few years ago. and he was like a father to me he he uh. he raised me. you know the best father I could have. asked for. um I wouldn't know what a father's like. without him and he passed a few years. ago. and it was very rough but I was blessed. to be there I was with him uh when he. passed and he had a great life and it.
was a great man my mom my mom is. absolutely fantastic has been supportive. with me even at my absolute worst and um. I put her through hell. um and uh as for my dad he's been he's. been in and out of my life uh. during this interview while we speak. right now he is currently uh in jail for. uh for something something stupid this. time it was you know drinking I think he.
had an open container of alcohol and he. stole some stuff from Kohl's but uh you. know my dad and I you know I have some. step brothers and sisters that I love. and and he. when he's when he's messed up on drugs. and alcohol he's not the best dad so we. you know we go on and off talking to. each other. so from what I understand you're a high. school dropout I am yeah what grade did. you drop out going into 10th grade going. into 10th grade so you have up to a.
ninth grade education yeah technically. yeah and you are the number one ethical. hacker in the world how did you get into. hacking. um it kind of It kind of just happened. because I was very young and it didn't. just happen I mean there was a lot of. stuff that happened in between it but. when I was very young my grandparents. had a computer at the house and I don't. know if you remember this but back in. the day AOL I used to send floppy disks. in the mail and they give you a trial. and um. I remember the shape of the floppy disk.
and I remember seeing the front of this. desktop that my grandpa I think he. brought it home from work or something. back then and I remember seeing the. shape of the floggy disc and there was a. little icon of it on the desktop. computer and. I was like I wonder what would happen if. I put this uh this floppy disk in the. computer and I saw the AOL logo from the. mail show up on the computer screen and. it blew my mind as a kid it blew my mind. I was like how did that just happen you.
know how old are you I'm 29. no I mean. how old are you at this time I had to. have been like eight nine years old at. that time maybe. um. and uh and that blew my mind and I want. to know how it worked you know from that. point on I just had this obsession with. how how do computers work why did that. just come from a piece of cardboard and. show up on the screen and uh you know I. just kept learning and learning about. computers and learning you know fixing. computers and meeting people you know.
that on the internet through AOL instant. messenger and other other apps and then. I found. um it actually started with a marketing. marketing community at first. um people that were doing digital. marketing back in the AOL days so just. spamming out massive amount of emails. like millions and millions of emails but. then in that Community there were some. hackers you know people that were. writing automation tools and finding. exploits and finding ways to convert on.
ads better and this and that and I ran. across this one guy who ended up going. to prison later for for hacking uh I. believe it was at T and A few other. major cellular carriers he was he he. stole some prepaid minutes and back then. prepaid minutes were a big deal so he. stole millions of dollars worth of. prepaid minutes with his partner in. crime Edwin was Edwin was his partner. and the guy that I'm talking about is. Robert Moore and his hacker name he went. by more ER more R and uh.
he ended up uh he ended up stealing. these credits and Edwin would go to. these places all over the the malls and. the small cell phone stores and it would. resell these credits for a cheaper price. than the carriers would sell them for. so they sold like I said a ton of those. and uh Edwin decided to leave the. country he left the country he's doing. all this fancy stuff private jets Yachts. hotels girls cars doing it all well Rob. was sitting at home you know hacking for.
this guy this guy wasn't doing anything. but selling the minutes. um. and then rob you know gets a knock on. the door to the FBI and they they come. in they seize everything he has Rob ends. up out of all of this out of millions of. dollars worth of sold minutes Rob ends. up with like 20 grand in profit and two. years in federal prison and uh They. confiscated all of his stuff everything. that he had and he gets out of prison. they uh and Edwin's On The Run they.
finally get Edwin I believe Edwin got. like 10 years or something which he. deserves it honestly because he took. advantage of Rob in a week weak point in. Rob's life he took advantage and Rob is. not meant for federal prison he and you. know he ended up there but yeah Rob is. the person that uh from the like I was. saying with the instant messenger chats. Rob's the person that motivated me to. learn about hacking and spent the time. with me and showed me some things that. because there weren't there weren't. learning sites like try hack new or or.
uh you know github.com or any or stack. Overflow or Google there wasn't none of. that existed back then so you couldn't. look up uh you know certain. methodologies or hacking or how to do. reconnaissance there was another world. there it didn't exist. um. so Rob gave me gave me some pointers uh. it's not a cookie cutter thing hacking. is very broad so let's let's backtrack. real quick. how will so you're I believe you said.
you started hacking at 10 years old 11. yeah about 11. at what point are you. conversing with with more. probably when I was 11 he might not have. known August 11 but how did you guys. like how did you find them uh group. chats you know back in the aim days how. does that I mean how does that. conversation go hey I'm looking for some. hackers to teach me a couple things no. no I just I was doing I was marketing. and uh and interested in obviously.
active in the communities and I knew. what Rob was capable of he could do some. really cool stuff with a computer and it. was really just asking questions you. know and Rob and I got along so well and. uh you know I actually flew out to see. him later in life to Washington State I. stayed with him for a week but uh you. know some we kicked it off for some. reason I don't know what that reason was. I can't remember that far back but uh. Rob was Rob was the person that helped. me at least get started and what I what. I do today what were you one to hacking.
at 11. I think it was more interested in just. shutting people's internet connections. off like simple stuff you know nothing. nothing crazy and making money marketing. you know it's. you know a lot of 11 year olds would. probably not think about selling things. on the internet but I wasn't making a. ton of money as a kid I didn't have Rich. parents or anything like that and I. wanted to make money ASAP and I knew. that digital marketing at like the. groups that I was in I was seeing all. these people making fortunes selling you. know one example we uh we we were.
selling acai weight loss berries and it. was a huge thing back in the day. um and there was some affiliate. marketers making 30 grand a day doing. AOL spams making millions millions of uh. millions of emails per day making 30. grand a day on average it would blow my. mind and I I don't remember every. specific about names and what programs. they were on uh like affiliate programs. they were on back then but I knew I. wanted to be involved in that. and I thought that automating it and.
finding exploits and you know. in I guess websites or people's people's. computers uh would enhance my my profits. and uh it did it. [Music]. but then all the money that I made there. uh all the money it made you know it all. went to drugs and and doing dumb stuff. but you know I wouldn't take it back. because I learned a lot I grew up quick.
and uh and there's some benefits there. and some things that aren't so good. there but. well let's let's keep let's stick with. childhood hacking so at what point in. your childhood did you start making. money doing this. no I probably probably 12 years 11 12. years old I was already I was right into. it I mean how much money are we talking. a couple Grand here and there which is a. lot for a kid that's a lot for a 12 year. old it felt like a billion dollars to me. and um so were you always an ethical.
hacker no what are some of the things. that you've done that you've hacked into. what what's one of the. give us some examples so uh I guess. depends on what you want to know like. people or organizations or both let's go. into all of it oh my gosh yeah I mean. there's I'm limited I'm limited by what. I could say here I know there's a. statute of limitations I'm sure I'd be. fine but there's some things that I. would I regret that I would take back um.
but uh there is one thing out there. that's public there's a rap song that. mentions me uh about you know are you. familiar with crypto mining. yes okay so uh I packed a ton of. computers uh I had a method I won't. explain the method because it still. could work today. um where I could infect computers with. malware and a lot of people that infect. computers with malware which is just. people you know if you don't know what. malware is it comes in various forms but. the type that I'm talking about it's.
called a remote access Trojan and that's. like the equivalent of me standing in. front of your computer uh with full. access to it and I can you know I can. look through your webcam I could control. your keyboard your mouse look at your. screen do anything I want without you. knowing that I'm there and um. I infected a ton of computers and. instead of having the remote access. Trojan functionality where I could do. you know I could take control of these. computers I decided to do crypto mining. um so at that time it was just Bitcoin.
and uh Litecoin and um you know I had. quite quite a bit of uh infected. computers mining at all times the thing. that I did that was if you could say. nice uh was that when the computer was. idle it would use a hundred percent of. the the processor and the graphics card. to mine the coins. um and when the computer was in use it. would only use 20 so they wouldn't you. know have a horrible experience with. their computer just being bogged down. the entire time but uh that was a I.
guess. started around now you had hacked into. how many computers 100 thousands. thousands of thousands yeah probably. tens of thousands and so all of these. these tens of thousands computers. are mining cryptocurrency and going into. your account. they were going into a pool so uh pooled. mining is a lot of people mining. together and then all of the uh.
whoever's putting in the most like I. guess the reward is split based upon the. um the contribution so if you're. contributing twice as much as me you'll. get twice as much of a profit. um so it was all being sent to a. specific pool offshores why did that. stop. um. I I have morals you know and uh. there was there was there was a. situation that came up where obviously.
the Bots you know if let's say I had to. change a pool or something went wrong. they had to be updated across the board. you know every single bot would have to. be updated to be pointed at a different. address. um I still had access to be able to do. that. and I was in in a community at that time. with some bad people who wanted to you. know kind of buy access to my Bots and I. wasn't okay with that and um it kind of. lined up perfectly with another business.
opportunity that I had in life where I. kind of just said you know what screw. this I'm done not taking the risk you. know if I get in trouble with what they. call a botnet if I get in trouble with. this bot that I'm doing a long time in. prison and it's just it's not worth it. to me I I can't get in trouble and uh I. stopped I stopped on my own will I. didn't get caught. um there was people that knew about it. you know hackers they may not have known. it was me now now they know it's me but. at the time they didn't know that it was. me but no I didn't get caught and I'm.
past the statute of limitations I didn't. hurt anybody maybe maybe your power bill. went up a couple cents but that's about. it. um but uh yeah that's that was the. extent of that specific uh hack was that. was that the one that. was that the the hack that changed you. that turned you into ethical or or was. there oh I would say yeah I would say. yeah yeah because. um around that time I switched to doing. cyber security and and uh starting the.
other businesses that that you know. we're going to talk about it's so yeah I. would say yeah yeah I never really. thought of it till now but that's when. that's yeah I would say that's when I. became an ethical hacker rather than a. gray hat or a black hat hacker well what. is a gray hat hacker gray hat is in. between so somebody that like uh for. example if I went to your website I. hacked your website and I sent you an. email and said hey I found a. vulnerability on your site you could. call you know the FBI and say hey this. guy just hacked my site and I didn't. give him permission or you could say. thank you that was a gray hat hacker and.
a black hat black hat just you know. takes over your website tells you hey. you better pay me or I'm releasing all. your information or deleting your site. and uh here's all the information about. you and your wife and your family and. everything blah blah blah. the black hat hackers are you know they. they're kind of ruthless. so. you're in the cryptocurrency business. being a hacker or you were would is this. the way of the future are we going to. what do you think what's your opinion on.
this yeah yeah I mean cyber security and. keeping yourself protected on the. Internet is the future if you're not. paying attention to that now uh you I. mean and you're not seeing your browser. that's warning you the TV that's warning. you the constant news the constant. ransomware notices I mean if you haven't. heard about the active breaches right. now on all of these major websites and. you're not doing anything about it you. really should start because it is the. future and it's only going to get more. uh intense and it's only going to get.
more dangerous and everything that you. have like you know is attached to the. internet everything I mean unless you. live out in the middle of nowhere with. no internet connection any even even the. power in your house is controlled by a. remote switch you know like what if I. turned off your power for a week and you. live out in the middle of nowhere you. just you really have to take your. security seriously. that's just a random thought but it's a. possibility I meant I actually I'm glad. you brought that up but I actually meant. cryptocurrency what's your opinion on.
cryptocurrency is it here to stay it's. very volatile. very volatile uh. I think the bitcoin's here to stay yeah. yeah are you all in on bitcoin. um can't confirm or deny. would you like to see Bitcoin I would. love to see Bitcoin hit the Moon I mean. it's still well at this moment it's. around 30 grand but uh I would love to. see what it was projected to be at in. the hundred thousands possibly a million.
a coin you think that's possible. absolutely I mean it was when I started. it was only you know maybe a couple. dollars at the most per coin damn well. what brought you to South Florida. I I got so I started a marketing company. for uh to help people get into drug and. alcohol rehab and uh for anyone that's. familiar with that topic they're gonna. think okay we had a marketing company he. was doing a thing called patient. brokering which is a felony I was not.
doing that I didn't even know what that. was at the time I just knew I could. generate leads from the internet and I. started this company called the. treatment source which was just a. website that they filled out a survey. and the survey would bring them to a. 1-800 number if they had mental health. or substance abuse they changed the term. substance use issues. um and I would send then send those. patients or clients to a drug and. alcohol rehab in South Florida. and I was generating a ton of clients.
and doing really well with the internet. marketing campaigns and one day I got a. call from a guy. who says to you know he was like Hey you. won't come to Fort Lauderdale airport. right now and this is like you know. right when I'm waking up and I was like. yeah I will like I was just you know he. thought I was joking I called him a. couple hours later I booked my flight. and I was like hey I'm at the Fort. Lauderdale airport he didn't believe me. and he picks me up at the airport and um. you know he was blown away that I even.
showed up there but you know I had just. like a week's worth of stuff packed with. me and when I got back to his house we. were talking about you know like the. rehab business and you know the. marketing and all the the intricacies of. the industry and we became good friends. at that point and um. I I uh you know I was thinking well why. don't I start a rehab you know like. maybe maybe I could do this myself if I. can generate the business for a rehab. maybe we can we could do it together so.
he was like yo I own one now obviously. because he was one of my my customers at. that time and he decided to sell his. shares in his rehab and use that to buy. or I'm sorry to invest into one with me. and uh we started a treatment center. together. and I decided to move to Florida so I. went back to PA I put my car on the back. of a U-Haul filled it up with all my. stuff drove down to Florida from. Pennsylvania and never looked back and. started a drug and alcohol and mental.
health facility how old were you at this. point. 22 you started. a rehab at age 22. yeah I think I was. the youngest owners in the treatment. world at that time yeah wow what so what. was your motivation for this. URL. from one from our research you are all. about helping humans yeah yeah so my. motivation was. um. you know I like I said earlier that you. know in my family you know my dad's side.
specifically had some serious drug. issues still still dealing with them I. went through some serious drug issues uh. I you know a lot of friends of mine have. gone through drug issues are still going. through drug issues. um and I just you know maybe I got this. from my mom my grandma my grandpa but I. just love to help people I don't know. what it is it makes me happy and uh I. guess would that be Hospitality. Hospitality has always just been. something that makes me happy well you.
had some pretty tragic experiences as. well. if I remember correctly do you want to. go into any of those uh well there's a. lot of them so are you talking more of. the addiction side of things or yeah you. had a couple friends die so. I've had a lot of friends die due to uh. to heroin overdose or car fat no fat no. butro fat no acetyl Fentanyl and all of. the different fentanyls that are getting. over here and being you know put in this. in heroin and I understand that they.
chose to use drugs regardless of what. was in it but they definitely weren't. planning on dying. um I'll tell you uh I mean I lost. tonight my uncle Richie to an overdose I. lost my best friend Ricky Rivas to an. overdose and. uh. I was you know I'll tell you that story. because this is this is how something. else happened but. I got a call from uh from Ricky's. parents uh. a couple years back and uh and they were.
like you know I haven't heard from Ricky. since this morning and uh do you mind. going over there and checking on them. and it was about a 15 minute drive for. me and he wasn't answering my phone. calls and at this time he wasn't on. drugs he wasn't messing up or anything. he worked for me at the rehab and we. spent every day together. um. so I go to his I go to his uh condo I. walk in the door and uh. you know I look to my left and I see him. in the bathroom and he had his face up. against the uh the vanity and you know.
he was wearing his wearing his shorts. and I saw that he had a needle and a. spoon and. just you know it didn't look good so I. ran over and I tried to wake him up and. he wasn't waking up so I called 9-1-1. and I'm running down through the. elevator to go to get I didn't even I. didn't think anything was wrong with him. so I didn't bring Narcan upstairs or. anything like narcan's but saves opiate. addicts from overdosing so I ran to my. car I grabbed that 9-1-1 is telling me. what to do I get back to the room. and uh.
you know they told me to take him off. the toilet and put them on the floor and. his body was still in the position that. it was in when I saw him sitting there. and his face was Sideways from being on. the vanity and I'm still in denial at. this point I gave him the Narcan in his. leg I was uh you know giving him CPR. like they said to do and um. I just uh. I remember when the the cops showed up. and the ambulance showed up they they uh. they didn't talk to his parents I did I. told his parents that their son was gone.
and uh which I thought was a little bit. ridiculous I thought that the detective. should be the one handling that. especially with how I was you know I. wasn't I was crying my eyes out like. lost my best friend you know. um. I lost my best friend to addiction too. yeah yep.
so sorry yeah my best friend uh he was a. seal I worked with him at the agency. uh he experienced a lot of trauma. became addicted to opiates uh for. injuries and that just became a you know. straight addiction they cut the pills. he went to heroin and um.
he. he I spent a lot of time. trying to get him better moved him with. me got him back on his feet got his. family involved got him into therapy. I mean it was. I love this you know we'd. been through a lot of together. and um. he he was a phenomenal hockey player and. you know I used to live in Boca Raton.
too and and so he would. he lived uh right by me. and he kept telling me he wanted to. start this hockey non-profit for Wounded. Warriors. and that he was going to get the. Panthers to sponsor it now. he wasn't he's one of the smartest human. beings I've ever met in my life even. when he was high. but. as it got worse and worse he I mean you. didn't even just his appearance she. didn't want to be around him he just.
looked sick and I was in the back of my. head I was like yeah okay you're gonna. get the Panthers on board we'll all be. damned because the son of a got. the Panthers on board and um he. I think it was the the first NHL team to. sponsor. um a wounded War you had to be a. disabled veteran to play on the hockey. team okay. they he had somebody helping him the. Panthers called the guy that was helping. them to tell him hey.
we're gonna do it we're going to sponsor. the team you got the NHL sponsor we're. going to sponsor the team that guy went. over to tell him hey dude you did it. yeah. and uh nobody answered the door. and uh. trying to keep my together here but. um I understand. yeah. you didn't answer the door. um. got on a stool to see you know the top.
part and. and there he was. laying on the floor you know and um. sorry to hear that man yeah I know I. didn't know what it feels like I just. want to want you to know I can relate. and I've lost a lot of a lot of friends. to addiction likewise that was the first. one obviously that happened to me and uh. and I you know I found them and uh it's. I can't explain that and you know I. can't bring them back but all you can do. is educate people and try to help more.
people so that doesn't happen to them. and you can't fix everybody you know you. can't get it through everybody's head. that they need to stop and it's. dangerous and it's not just heroin and. opiates like it used to be it's a. you know it's Coke it's meth it's uh. it's painkillers that are pressed it's. Xanax it's they all are being cut with. fentanyl this isn't a conspiracy theory. in fact I mean the number one leading. cause of death 18 to 49 right now is. fentanyl. um that's more than car accidents more.
than anything else 18 to 49 years old. fentanyl so any drug that you're doing. you have to be careful that you know and. not be careful you have to you have to. just try to get away from it or get a. testing kit if you if you refuse to stop. doing drugs get testing kits because. fentanyl will kill you yeah and uh. yeah yeah it's it's pretty rough but. with the rehab uh program around that. time not not long before I lost Ricky I. lost another friend Drew and uh and my.
business partner at that time you know. him and I we both you know were friends. with Drew and I was always closer with. uh with Ricky and um we decided to start. a scholarship program and it was called. we named it the Drew Drew badgery. scholarship program which was to help. people get into drug rehab that didn't. have the financial means to to pay and. the reason you know that's important is. because when I was a kid I didn't have. Private health insurance or money so. there was no way I was going to a nice. facility like one I had or other ones in.
Florida or other states that are private. the the. um the government facilities you know. they take Medicare Medicaid but some of. them have two three months waiting lists. addicts can't wait two three months you. know they die and you know as you know. it could take it could take one bad. those they're dead so having a private. facility and somebody that really wants. to get clean uh it's if they don't have. the right insurance or the right money. you have to turn them down and it just.
bothered me so much that you can't help. somebody that I was in their shoes you. know I wanted help or or people in my. family wanted help them couldn't get it. and I started that scholarship program. with my old business partner and we. brought a ton of people in probably over. a hundred and the seven years seven or. so years that I was there. um and maybe even more than that but at. least at least a hundred and um you know. full scholarship no not they didn't. spend a dollar and a lot of them did.
well some of them relapsed you know you. can't fix everybody but uh. you know it we turned that after after. you know time went on WE adapted to hell. you know the scholarship program we. built programs around that we built. programs around trauma we built programs. around you know specifically mental. health specifically uh co-occurring. mental health and substance use disorder. all kinds of different things and then. we branched out until we opened a detox. which was another facility uh because at.
that point we had partial. hospitalization intensive outpatient and. outpatient but we didn't have detox so. we were sending them to other facilities. and then we would take them so then we. had two facilities and then we realized. okay well a lot of our people we were. getting are coming from New Jersey or. Pennsylvania New York Virginia. Massachusetts up in that area so we. decided to start another facility in New. Jersey and we started uh it was called. the shore detox but it got changed again. the name of it got changed and um.
I sold my shares in in the rehab about. two and a half two and a half three. years ago right around the time that uh. that I started to you know catch the. Predators. um and I got into the software as a. service world and buying software. companies and operating them and selling. them. so you are. an amazing human being man thanks to to. do something. that has that amount of impact at that.
young age. I mean that's just just to do it in. general is amazing you know and you did. it at what what'd you say 22. yeah. that's incredible you realize that I I. appreciate it you're welcome I'm still. on it I'm still on the mission It's Not. Over You know good for you it's uh. there's so much more to come and and one. spot that I forgot there was the. electronic medical record system that we. use like the same thing you would see at. your doctor when they put in notes about. you being you know at the your visit. um we used one called uh I will say the.
name but we used one and uh and I got. involved with those guys afterwards and. uh like after I sold my shares I went. right to their office and I set up one. of those plastic tables put my computer. in there even though I wasn't involved. at that time in that business. um I wanted to work out of their office. because I liked the software world and. uh at that point I wasn't sure if I was. going to do digital marketing or I was. going to do cyber security or both but. being around them every day I was like. yeah I gotta do it with them so I got.
involved with their business is and then. we decided together we're going to do a. ton of a ton of software companies and. uh that's where we're at now like I said. with pen tester.com and and many more. but that's the one that makes the most. sense to talk about here today well. let's uh let's take a quick break and. when we come back we'll dive into that. okay cool. I want to tell you all about this new. meat delivery service I found called. moink what I really really like about. moink is they are from a small.
rural Farm Town in Missouri LaBelle. Missouri. right by where I grew up and I love. supporting small town business USA now. when I started looking into moink they. educated me on the meat industry and I. want to share with you all a couple of. facts according to moink magazine sixty. percent of all pork is produced by one. company in the U.S and that is 100 owned. by the Chinese four companies control.
over 80 percent of the meat industry in. the United States more than ten thousand. different additives are allowed. in the U.S food supply 99 of chicken 95. percent of hogs 78 of cattle in the U.S. are raised in confinement buildings or. feedlots means they're not moving around. freely eighty percent of the antibiotics. consumed in the U.S are fed to animals. here's a stat in 2016.
18.4 million pounds of antibiotics were. sold for livestock. and that's what you're eating suicide. rates amongst farmers are the highest. than any other profession and that. includes veterans believe it or not I. found that alarming now here's what. moink is doing to combat some of this. stuff which I really appreciate their. livestock is 100 born and raised and. harvested humanely in the United States.
of America their Farms practice were. genitive agricultural methods they are. free of GMOs antibiotics and all. hormones their Alaska salmon is wild. caught their beef and lamb are grass-fed. and grass-finished their boxes ship from. rural America right in Small Town. Missouri love it they're chicken and. pork. are pasture raised so.

Ketone IQ. all right Ryan we're back from the break. we're getting ready to dive into your. company pen tester. so what is pen tester. pen tester is a software solution for. cyber security and protection so we it. you know there's a pen test a manual pen. test where somebody would go on into. your company or a group of people where. they would check down a list of boxes of.
things for your compliance look for. vulnerabilities based upon your platform. and give you a report of findings uh you. know vulnerabilities. pentester.com it can get confusing. because pen testing and Pen tester.com. are like pen testing is a term pen. tester.com is the name of my company. okay. um and uh you know what we do is we try. to automate as much of what a pen test. uh a pen tester would do uh digitally so.
pennchester.com is an automated web. scanning framework as of right now we're. building it out to be more of a more. than than just a web scanner and. um. sorry I'm getting mixed up no it's fine. so let me let me just ask this then so. it's hard to explain so I'm trying to. make everybody understand let me yeah I. get it because I'm a dummy with this. stuff. um so let me ask you a question then so. if I go to pentester.com and I type in.
Sean ryanshow.com yeah what kind of. vulnerabilities might I have here's my. website I basically I saw gummy bears on. it and uh we post upcoming episodes your. episodes gonna be on there uh we collect. email addresses. um for a database to to uh we send out a. free newsletter all the time right and. then we got like some if you want to if. you wanna apply for a job here every.
once in a while we'll post that they can. run their resumes we just did a thing. where we're looking for a new. video editor for shorts and they're. sending in a bunch of um. we're having a competition for it but. for so for a website like and we have. advertising inquiries for a website like. that it's run off Shopify Shopify what. kind of vulnerabilities would I be. looking at so you're the there's many. things the first thing that came to mind. was uh was email breaches so if you have.
like contact Sean ryan.com is that your. website Sean ryan.com Sean Ryan show.com. Sean Ryan show.com so uh contact Sean. Ryan show.com or you know Sean Ryan at. the website or anyone that works here I. can I can look up that domain with pen. tester and see if it's been involved in. any breaches or if it's been involved in. any uh botnet traffic where it's scraped. all of the cookies and passwords from. people's browsers okay hold on what is.
bot botnet what tracking traffic botnet. traffic right so let's say you were. infected with some type of malware there. and that person grabbed from your your. Chrome or your Safari all of the saved. passwords and all of the the sessions. like a website to be signed into a. website you have to have a session so if. I took that session and replaced mine. with yours now on mute without a. password. so some of that stuff gets released on.
the dark web or or you know. uh it's a tour I like to call it tour. tlr the onion router that's what the. dark web is. um but it gets released there and. sometimes on the publicly facing web. and uh a lot of people aren't aware of. what information is actually out there. so when you put your website into pen. tester you get a preliminary report that. shows all of that data that has been. exposed related to your domain name well. it goes a little further than that.
because let's say it doesn't find. anything maybe you're a brand new. website and you know shopify's is doing. a good job with all of the plugins. you're using because remember each one. of those plugins is by an individual. creator that could have messed up at any. point in their code so you're only as. strong as your your strongest plugin. um so that's one thing there Shopify has. their own security and then you have. your own Security based on your plugins. uh as for the emails let's say I get. nothing with the Sean ryanshow.com. now I'm going to start looking into the.
Gmail accounts of into Gmail Hotmail AOL. Yahoo whatever of all of your employees. your family and then I'm going to see. breaches associated with them which I. guarantee you that there is like I I'm. so sure that if I pulled my laptop out. and I put in one of your personal emails. that I'll have at least one of your. passwords and that password could be. reused for Shopify or maybe it's used to. access that list of data with your. customers that you were saying you have. a The Client List the newsletters the.
the applicants for you know the jobs uh. it maybe it's the same password you use. for that and now I have access to that. data that I could either Ransom you with. I could escalate my permissions on. Shopify with and take over your entire. site maybe it's the credentials to your. social media platform uh like YouTube. Instagram Tick Tock whatever you. whatever you're on you know those. credentials could be reused so it is. important like as you said using a. password manager because all takes is.
someone like me with a bad you know bad. moral compass to take advantage of. everything that you that you have could. you could you demonstrate that right now. yeah just type it in my email yeah for. sure. I'll try the Sean Ryan Show first. dot com right yeah.
okay so we have. there is some some sensitive information. but nothing uh nothing that would be a. big deal I can show you I could show it. to you actually if you want it's not. going to hurt anything yeah let's see it. so it's not this isn't specifically. passwords there. um but uh it is what came from you know. leaks on the internet this isn't you. know it isn't anything other than uh.
leaked data so nothing there is. sensitive to my to my eyes so we're. doing a good job for the Sean Ryan show. but if you throw in one of your gmails. there or something any other email that. you may be using for a long period of. time. just type it in here yep.
you take a second to load it's it loads. over 140 billion records. nothing nothing on that website there's. two e's supposed to be there yeah I. would assume so. no there's I don't all right my it. guy's gonna uh live to see another. paycheck well it's not it's not your I.T. guy though even uh that one just doesn't.
seem to be registered with a bunch of. accounts like for example if you were in. 2019 LinkedIn breach for or like or a. Dropbox if you use any of that like. vigilante. vigilance Elite. um I do have. his password. and I do have the address whose address. and uh I have a apartment and. interesting I have uh an IP address for.
I have an address in. where we're at right now with the ZIP. code ending in six four and a phone. number and then. all that shit's on there yeah. and I have a lot more than that if you. want to look take a look yourself oh. yeah let me take a look yeah this I'm. halfway through if you could scroll up. and down how do we clean this up you. can't you just gotta change you got to. change the information if you don't want.
it there there is no way to get rid of. it. okay so what oh my gosh. so that's why small and medium-sized. businesses that don't realize that. they're a Target they're more of a. Target than they think uh they get. attacked. um because they either have exposed. credentials out there or they're using. old technology and they just get grouped. in with a ton of other people that are. you know similar targets uh a lot of. them don't realize they need to take.
their cyber security more seriously and. Pen tester like you know this is kind of. like a Shameless plug but like for 50. bucks a month it's it's worth the money. you know we're the cheapest to my. knowledge in the cyber security world. and we're not only giving you a software. solution but we're giving you a Hands-On. you know manual confirmation for. anything that we're not sure of So for. 50 bucks like. someone would have offered that to me uh. prior to being a hacker myself I was a. little kid but let's just say I wasn't.
ever you know I would I'd be more than. happy to pay 50 a month or something. like this this is just one of the one of. many things we offer okay. so is. my website's safe for customers that's. up to you to decide I mean I haven't run. a scan this is just a breach oh that's. just a breach chat yeah. yeah and this is we have more records. than literally anyone else on the. internet so we we're going to be able to. tell you more than than uh than most you. know most people some people are going.
to have access to these private. databases that we have as well as the. public ones. um but if you download certain other. competition websites that say or I'm. sorry sign up for other competition. websites that say that they offer breach. protection or the leak leak uh. protection breach or leak protection is. what they'll say. um. they don't have a database as big as. ours I'm sure of it I mean I'm very. confident in that. and this is without running like I said. this is without running a scan so you.
know like I'll keep it I'll keep the. computer ready for when you want to see. a face but I'll show you how Wild that. can get let's do that oh you want to see. it yeah let's do it. so describe what you're gonna do so I'm. gonna do you want I could do my face. your face anyone's face that you want to. do does it you just tell me who's that. you can do my face okay. it's going to be a lot of pictures of. you obviously because of your podcast. but. so basically what you're doing is you're. taking a photo of me it's gonna do the.
facial recognition and find every image. on the internet that has my face in it. yeah whether I'm tagged in it or not. yeah like it's strict you could find my. face in the middle of uh the Super Bowl. Stadium as long as it's on the internet. so yeah let me take a picture and send. it to myself. um. okay.
so I took a picture of your face. and. you can see it's just a picture that. this has never been on the internet. right that is a really good looking man. right there amazing. so I uploaded that to uh to here so you. took a picture. yep no no you can go through these and. see if there's anything that's not not I. don't know if there's going to be. anything that you don't want on there or. not but if you click them it will give. you a link to where uh where that.
picture's hosted at. but remember I used a picture that was. never on the internet. to find those photos of you. so it measured your face measured 120. points on your face Associated a picture. that's never touched the internet with. you. and uh for somebody that doesn't have as. big of a following or as many photos out. there there may be less results but you. could be in a photo that you're not. aware of or uh or there could be some. stuff out there that you would want to.
be aware of. oh wow this is really this is like. everything yeah it just keeps going. cool stuff. that's insane like most people you'd be. crazy not to pay 50 for that as a. business it's just that getting that. messaging in somebody's in somebody's. hands uh and I'm sorry in somebody's. brain when they look at the website or.
they they see an ad for hey are you. taking your cyber security seriously. um and then they run their website. through a light Scan they see here's. some breach credentials here's some. pictures that we found on your site. here's some vulnerabilities and you have. an option to sign up for free which you. get your preliminary report for free and. then you have your option for fifty. dollars for a small business and you. just say you know what screw it I don't. need that I just I can't comprehend why. you wouldn't want that. so yeah damn let's talk about the dark.
web so I hear a lot about the dark web. oh yeah the buzzword. drugs on it you can find child. pornography on it you can you it sounds. like it's just the the black market the. New Black Market correct yeah so what. I've heard about it I know about it I. know it's all stuff you shouldn't be. doing what how do you get on it where is. it okay so the dark web itself isn't a.
Marketplace like what you're thinking. all right so the so the black market or. whatever you want to call it once you're. connected to the dark web tour the onion. router what I was explaining before you. still need to know where to go to visit. these horrible websites and they're like. you know imagine a very long string of. letters and numbers and the website. instead of.com it'd be dot onion you. can't visit those websites in a regular. browser you have to do that while you're. connected to the onion router which you.
can download at the Tour tor's website. and then you could go to a thing called. like the hidden wiki and the hidden wiki. will show you all different categories. of these websites with a link to them. and uh and there's marketplaces there's. horrible things on there like you said. for kids and uh and even like murder For. Hire there's there's counterfeit money. there's fake IDs you know they're all. all kinds of different websites that do. horrible things what is the onion router. so the onion router is a um is a tool an.
open source uh project that was created. to anonymize your traffic on the. internet and it decentralizes I think I. believe decentralized would be the word. for it your internet traffic it keeps. you Anonymous Beyond a VPN I would still. recommend that you use a virtual private. Network on top of tour if you want to be. anonymous but uh it's just a layer of. security that's free and it keeps it. it's like for example let's say you use.
uh Comcast for your internet service. provider. um they could see that you're using. using tour but they can't see what. you're looking at. um if you use a VPN and then you use. tour they can they they can only tell. you're using a VPN but they can't tell. you're using tor so it's you know it's a. just an internet within an internet so. can I get on can I check my email. through the dark web yes would you go to. any website would you recommend using. the dark web to just do regular it's.
slow as hell internet stuff it's very. slow yeah yeah I mean it you could but. and it would it would keep you safer but. it's it's not gonna it's not a foolproof. way to keep yourself safe and it's. painstakingly slow oh God. do you use the dark web oh for. investigations yeah. what kind of Investigations. um for like the predator predator and. pedophile cases yeah so are you able to. track these guys down from the dark web.
even though they're technically. Anonymous. um a lot of times it doesn't need to go. that far A lot of times these guys will. use their regular emails or they'll use. an IP address that's been you know. they'll reuse for multiple emails or. their face that they're using as their. profile picture I can you know find them. from the same way I just found your face. or they're using a phone number that. traces right back to them uh the dark. web you know it's it's not really a huge. part of uh catching predators and.
pedophiles um. uh one one thing I I guess the only. thing on the dark web quote unquote I. hate that word but the dark web quote. unquote that I had access to was when I. originally hacked the website that we're. going to talk about they branched out to. have not only a website on the clarinet. on the regular internet but their. website was mirrored on the dark web and. I had three back doors in their system. and uh and it branched out over to the.
dark web so I had a back door on the. dark web too which was kind of a cool. thing to have so I needed to be. connected to tour the onion router to. connect to my back door but that was uh. I was only using that back door to. exfiltrate data every single day which. was just user information because I. didn't want to get their posts or. anything I didn't want to be in. possession of anything horrible that. they were sending each other but their. user info was enough for us as I'm sure. you'll learn shortly yeah.
what are some things that people can do. to protect themselves from from hackers. what let's actually let me rephrase this. quote let me back up what are some. vulnerabilities. just let's go through all the things. that you personally could hack if you. wanted to. um I mean there's it's countless but I. could give you some major daily things. uh absolutely let's talk about some of. the devices those devices you have right.
here let's talk about all the stuff you. can hack into sure and then and then. we'll get into maybe how we can prevent. that a little bit so I guess we'll just. start with a daily routine you know if. you wake up in the morning you uh you. make your coffee or maybe you take your. phone off the charger and you um you. check your phone in the morning you. might you might check your email you. might have you got to make sure you. every email that you have while you're. half asleep is coming from a real person. it's not a phishing email someone. pretending to be a company that they're.
not stealing your credentials then you. go outside to your garage you get in. your car and you have to make sure that. there's nobody out there listening for. your you know your car key frequency. while jamming your car so that they. could steal your car later or access. your car later and then when you go hit. your garage door button that somebody. doesn't capture that frequency on 4 33. megahertz and uh and you know and those. rolling codes have already been broken. for most of the models. um so then you get in your car and. you're driving to uh to to your office.
or to to your kids school doing whatever. you want and um. you know you could get out you let your. kid out to school and now somebody as. you walk into school just skimmed your. back pocket and stole your credit card. information. so I mean all of that plus you know any. anything remote infrared like a TV. remote that goes for projectors uh audio. devices ceiling fans I mean very simple. stuff uh along with Access Control.
badges so anything sub gigahertz like. like key fobs or remote controls for. anything. um parking Gates. so much everything everything I mean. everything anything with a battery and a. connection a remote connection in any. type of way where it reaches the outside. of that device is hackable or has been. hacked. what are these devices here this is a. water bottle.
uh so this right here is a this is a. flipper zero with some custom. modifications. and uh it does a lot so this is just a. proof of concept device but when you. start to add your own little additions. onto it like this. um. let me uh let me enable for example. Wi-Fi I'm not gonna hack your Wi-Fi but. I'll give you a little example of what I. could do. I'll just do something stupid but.
okay and then we'll do I'm not gonna. shut your network down. okay so now if you if. I can show you on my phone or you could. look at your phone but you'll see that. instead of me mirroring your network I. just created a bunch of fake Networks.
so all of these networks here. they probably appear to be. legitimate right. yeah. but they're not these are all fake. networks they're all powered by me so as. soon as you connect to any of those I. have your password I have anything in. between. so that's that's one thing that's just. Wi-Fi and you just. oh man so this is so this is is this how.
people are. stealing information. this is one of them anyways in in an. airport. in an airport oh yeah I mean airport. Starbucks. um when you uh it's called a man in the. middle attack so if I'm on the same. network as you I can essentially control. the traffic. uh you know as if I was the modem or. router so instead of when you type. google.com instead of your computer. telling the router you want google.com. you're telling my computer you want.
google.com and I'm giving you what I. what I'm telling you google.com is. so it would be called a DNS DNS attack. so is this what people are using in the. airports when there's I'm not the. specific device this is just something. that I concocted together but the. flipper you can buy this thing on the. top here is is uh custom. I guess what I'm asking is this the. method they throw so could you can so. let's what is um put like Wi-Fi flight.
or uh Gogo Gogo inflate yes they're. actually I mean you can obviously you. can hack anything but GoGo inflate they. they have a pretty good segment on their. Network so you're pretty safe with GoGo. uh you there's a chance of getting. hacked but not the same as like a. Starbucks or a or here like you know. your network has to be segmented into. chunks okay and uh go go segments it. pretty well okay I guess what I'm saying. is could you create a fake Wi-Fi network.
with that thing that says. go go. in Flight one yeah that must be it I can. do that here I mean it's I can make any. any they're called as bssids ssids the. name of a network. you could do that with any name but. instead of that what you do is you just. scan the local area. and then you know I know all the. networks names around here and then I'll. Target all of them at the same time so. that that way anyone in this complex or. where we're at.
um you know anyone that connects to a. network is going to you know think it's. their Network and they're going to. connect to me instead. holy that's just one of many Wi-Fi. attacks so there's many ways yeah what. else can this thing do oh this thing's. like the size of the palm of your hand. yeah well with this with this little you. know custom extension especially when I. have my big these aren't the big. antennas but I got big antennas because. you know I want to get long range but uh. you know that's Wi-Fi this this side of.
things is also Wi-Fi but uh also it's an. NRF uh 24 so it does Wireless mice and. keyboards so if you use a wireless mouse. and keyboard not every single one of. them is vulnerable a lot but a lot of. them are I'd highly recommend you go. back to wired even though it sounds old. school that's what you should do because. I could control your mouse and keyboard. with this device and send keystrokes way. faster than you can type them and uh. take over your computer without even. having to see you or it so I could do.
that through the wall. um. this is scaring the out of me. um and then I you know I the sub. gigahertz stuff with bigger antennas of. course I can go further away so with the. car car keys garages Gates anything. that's on radio frequency I could do. with this. um RFID that's Access Control badges for. doors and and pool Keys you know. anything that has like a little beeper. where you beep into the the door yeah.
and NFC is credit cards and access. control and it does also some more. things too you could also like I could. tap your phone and give you my Instagram. or tap your phone and give you my. business card so NFC is a little more uh. versatile than RFID but they both. essentially are uh I believe it's called. passive devices they're powered by the. uh the receiver. they don't have a battery in them so. what let's just run through just a list.
of all the things you can hack with that. one little device. I mean I don't want to make it into an. ad about flipper because it's not. flipper itself like I'll tell you but. I'm just saying that flipper itself if. you're going to go online and buy one of. these and expect to be able to do. everything that I'm talking about you. need to have custom firmware or software. whatever you want to call it. um that allows you to do that and you. need to know how to modify it so don't. go out spending 180 on this device. thinking you're gonna hack somebody's. car or steal their credit card because. that's not going to happen.
um but if I if you want to go down the. list. I mean there's a ton of things there's. like you know all the radio things I. just told you about. um the RFID stuff the NFC which is the. credit cards and and more infrared which. is TVs projectors and many other devices. gpio which is just anything that. connects to the outside of this device. so I can make devices work and this be. the controller for it uh I button which. is a form of authentication that uses.
um these things these little metal. prongs as a key. a bad USB which emulates a keyboard. types like you know a couple thousand. words a second wow or I'm sorry a minute. I'm sorry a thousand words and a couple. thousand words a minute. uh and then it also has some use cases. that aren't hacking like uh two-factor. authentication this is a you know. offline device where you can generate. your two Factor without needing a device. that's connected to the internet. so it does that too and then there's a.
ton of other sub applications that are. on here like hundreds of them that do. little little things so a lot just with. this one device this thing. you know it it does just radio but it. does a lot more than this thing really. yeah what does that one do this one you. can hack airplanes with I mean that I. mean that's an extreme but that's. something that you can actually. accomplish with this using adsb. um you can choose to either receive or. transmit. um so you can choose either receive or.
transmit adsb with this device and. that's the frequency to tell a plane you. know this call sign position and and. more and um it's very illegal to do that. of course but uh if I wanted to go. outside right now I could even. demonstrate later for you like you know. I pull this antenna out this is just a. small antenna. um and we could receive airplanes see. where they're at there's nothing illegal. about receiving them. um transmitting is where it gets a.
little bit funky you know uh but yeah. adsb this one does a lot I. something like a joke for example Touch. Tunes they're at a bar their little. jukebox machine Duke box machines that. you pay for yeah this device uh Brute. Forces them meaning goes through zero. zero zero to nine nine nine nine looking. for a PIN code. and once it gets it I can fully control. that jukebox like like I have like I'm. the owner of it so you know just just. for fun or Subaru cars some some years.
of Subaru I have this pre-programmed. that can unlock and unlock unlock and. lock a Subaru no problem. um I could do that with this as well but. this thing way stronger bigger range way. more support way more programs out there. this device is a lot more dangerous in. my eyes than that device really yep. man you are a I think if this is the. fifth time I've said it I think you are. a dangerous man but well I'm safe safe. you know yeah ethical you could be if.
you wanted to be I'm trying to go into. detail about these things just for the. just for the Nerds out there like me. that are listening I'm not going into. exhaustive detail about these devices. because most people are not going to. care so I'm just giving the general. overview oh I think I think they're. gonna care when they realize how. vulnerable they are no I don't mean they. don't care about what what they can do. but they care about the technical. specifics yeah. we get a lot of our we pretty much. everything that we have is from China.
okay you know all of our Electronics. everything it all what do you say 90 of. it probably comes from China do you. think. we need to worry about what they're. putting in our Electronics. uh yeah yeah I mean I'll give you one. example I bought this awesome vacuum and. mop that's in one All-in-One Vacuum out. called tinaco and uh it completely. connects to a Chinese server to uh to.
transmit and receive information like I. made it I made a joke out of I actually. have a video of it where you could turn. the audio on for it like when you plug. it in it says charging started charging. stopped like when you put it on and off. I can control that with my computer. through a Chinese Cloud Server there's. no reason that that vacuum and MOB. should connect to a Chinese cloud. uh Cloud infrastructure whatsoever but. uh it does and at any point they could. change the way that functionality works. and take over my home network with this.
vacuum mop. so are you serious with a vacuum mop yep. how many devices do you think has have. these things in them. anything with a Wi-Fi connection that's. you know not ever not everything's going. to be. China beaconing back and forth but. anything with the Wi-Fi you know. anything with Wi-Fi capability is going. to open up you know an attack vector. washing machines refrigerators just oh. yeah why does a vacuum mop I don't know.
Wi-Fi capability. I'd love to tell you that it's uh I have. I have the video I could show you I. could find it sometime but it's uh I. have that and then I have the app I. could show you I can adjust the volume I. can check when the last time I used it. doesn't need to be cleaned does it you. know it tells you all that stuff but. it's using a Chinese server that I can. control from my computer now that I've. captured the traffic between the mop and. the server. how many devices do you think we have. that are connected to a Chinese.
server and what would they be getting. out of it. I mean it's all about data nowadays so I. mean I think the data is the most. important thing to them because it's. worth money and uh advertising dollars. or or would be spent better for you know. with targeted demographics so I think. that they're using that information to. Target you on the stuff that they that. you need you know if you or someone that. you love is looking up something.
obviously Google's going to figure out. uh how to Target you on that on that. thing and then sell that data to other. people and they go they call it. retargeting whereas if they have access. to your direct Network and they can see. you know things that you didn't even. fully search out or you're typing on a. different application like a chat. application where you're not even. searching about you're just talking. about it that data is very valuable. because they know about something before. Google does or somebody some other large. data broker.
interesting. what are what are five simple things. that people can do to protect themselves. from from hackers. who's the password manager. um install an antivirus or consult with. an I.T company that has cyber security. expertise or a cyber security company uh. one of one of those many options but. talk to somebody unless you're an expert. yourself. uh use an RFID blocking wallet uh and.
potentially if you want to be extra safe. use a key fob that has an RFID shield on. it that way your key fob doesn't work. outside of that Shield can't be cloned. some cars require you know top to start. so you know use something like that uh. be careful with the websites that you're. visiting if the browser is telling you. the site looks unsafe then it's probably. unsafe and if uh you know if you're told. otherwise make sure who who's telling. you otherwise is legitimate.
and. you know just be careful I mean just use. your common sense if something looks too. good to be true it probably is okay what. about we're we live in a day and age. where you're getting spam calls every. five minutes you're getting spam text. every five minutes and a new marketing. emails coming in every two minutes it's. I mean it's ridiculous. do we need do we need to worry about. that stuff if I open a text.
could I be hacked just from opening the. text technically yes I mean like I said. earlier the zero click attacks that. they're willing to pay a ton of money. for there's government agencies that. already have them you know that there. was one going around for uh quite a long. time. uh there was one going around for quite. a long time called Pegasus I don't know. there's another one called Pegasus 2.0. and it didn't require any user. interaction from you know from anyone. you would just send to a phone number. they'd have full remote access to your.
phone even without opening the text. without opening anything. holy how do you defend against. something like that yeah you can't. there's no there's no way to Defenders. that's why they're so valuable because. there's nothing you can do. how do most hackers get in do you have. to click a link. yeah yeah I mean sometimes it's a link. sometimes it's a file sometimes it's a. photo sometimes it's a chain of exploits. of multiple things that turn into it it.
could be a Word document it could be. anything. um when it comes to zero days and zero. click exploits it's uh it doesn't. require any user interaction and you. will not know that your phone's infected. damn. yeah so I can't even give you a good. answer for it this is scary stuff I. could I could I might as well have it on. my phone right now I have no clue I mean. I'd likely see the traffic going in and. out of it but uh there is still the. chance that it could have it. all right let's take a quick break and.
when we come back we'll get into what. you're doing now. the US dollar how many of you out there. still have any confidence whatsoever in. the US dollar. probably not very many I don't either. you see there's a growing concern on the. devaluation of the US dollar right now. and rightly so here's why inflation we. are at an all-time high right now on. inflation it will now cost you 12.
dollars to buy one carton of eggs that. is absolutely absurd let's talk about. interest rates interest rates through. the roof if you're in the market to buy. a house right now you're going to get. roughly 50 percent less house. because they've raised the interest. rates so high let's talk about the stock. market. way down especially the tech stocks. crypto. way down Congress spending more money.
than you or I or anyone else we know can. even fathom counting and the FEDS what. are they doing they're just printing. money like it's nobody's business. devaluing our dollar meanwhile. China. is running around the globe right now. striking deals latest one Saudi Arabia. and Iran. new oil deals trying to turn the yen. into the new Reserve currency which in.
turn. will devalue our dollar. it might be time to start looking at. where to protect your money. and you might want to look at precious. metals I believe gold and silver is one. of the safest assets to protect your. savings in your retirement against. inflation and recession if you're. interested in investing in gold I. suggest you call my friends at Lear.

before making an investment decision. thank you. you've probably heard me talk about my. psychedelic Journey last year and all. the benefits that came from doing it one. being that I haven't drank in almost a. year I have not had any caffeine in. almost a year my anxiety has gone my. anger is gone a whole list of benefits. came from that and it led me down this. journey of researching benefits of. mushrooms and fungi in general in my.
research I found this company called Mud. water mud water is a coffee alternative. with four adaptogenic mushrooms and. herbs with a fraction of the caffeine as. a cup of coffee I have energy without. anxiety Jitters or the crash of coffee. what I really like about mud water is. that they took the time to find the. perfect ingredients to make a product to. help you feel better every day I. genuinely believe that mud water is a. good product it's Whole30 approved 100. USD organic non-GMO gluten-free vegan.
and kosher certified mud water also. donates monthly to the Berkeley Center. for Science of psychedelic Texas mud. water believes the country is a mental. health epidemic and so do I go to. mobwater.com Sean to support the show. and use the code Sean mud for 15 off. that's mudwater.com Sean use the code. Sean Mudd for 15 off. foreign. we're back from the break. we just got a whole class on hacking and.
all the stuff that you're capable of and. all the things we need to be worried. about but let's talk about why you came. here and that's what you're doing now. you're basically. hunting down these people that are. exploiting children sexually on the. internet and. in person yeah I know you have a couple. of horrific stories one guy that was I. think it was his daughter in the bathtub. yeah yeah so I'll start you know kind of.
where that all uh came from. um I was at a friend's a friend's house. and I got a text message from my. friend's wife and it uh it was multiple. photos of screenshots of this website. that was uh it was clear from the. screenshots that the website was on the. regular internet anyone could access it. and um should I name the website yeah it. was uh it's no longer up but it was dot. Co so.
uh dot Co the night website went down. that it ended up being t-o like t as in. Thomas I was an Oscar so I see this. website and I see the content uh in. these screenshots that my friend's wife. sent me she doesn't know anything about. computers but she has kids herself and. she was like can you do something about. this. um. I read this content and uh one of them. was was uh was talking about a mother. that wanted to have have kids and then.
have the kids be. so that that when the kids grew up that. they could you know have. and go even further I mean I'll pull up. the screenshots because I'd like to. explain like where my head was at that. time but as soon as I read these. messages. I uh I like I guess a switch flipped in. my brain and I left my friend's house. immediately as I got the text and I was. I went home I didn't know for sure that. I was going to be able to get into this. website I just knew I wanted to do.
something about it and uh I found the. vulnerability in their platform I got in. uh and from that point on I started to. uh to exfiltrate the data every single. day all the users. um I noticed that that a lot of people. were soliciting. on the site so I uh I didn't want to. download those messages in case of the. fact that I pull in some images that I'm. not allowed to have and nor do I want so. I made sure to only download the.
publicly facing stuff which didn't. include. it had some very graphic text but it. didn't include anything illegal which I. think it should be illegal to talk that. way but it was it was horrible stuff. what what were some of the so you. started this basically from a text. conversation with a concerned Mom that's. what got you into it yeah what's some of. the text. that you saw. I'd like to read them too if you want I.
still have them read them so this is. before I was before I ever caught a. single predator in my life this was this. was the beginning and what set my set my. brain off um. to uh to want to help. but this is before I even heard of this. website before I heard of anything and. anything to do with it. um. okay here they are. um. so the title should I read these like. they're graphic yeah breed them so the.
title of this post is who wants. these little. um and then somebody replied underneath. I've got first dibs on them. uh Joseph fritzel Maximilian uh which is. there's two different users there pick. for yourselves. um and this was the photo that they used. foreign. oh my God.
that's just one of three. three texts these girls look like. they're six very young yeah. and then there was that one story where. I told you about the. I can't see it but the the story I told. you about the bathtub situation where. there was a father who posted their. child in the bathtub and uh they it said. underneath of it um they have no idea. what's going to happen to them tonight. and then underneath that there were.
people that were part of this website. who were saying what they were going to. do to this child and this wasn't just. some fantasy that this guy was talking. about this was a you know a guy posting. his child in the bathtub like for real. like it really was his child. um I assume he was a man but it was a. parent. um. you know so that really got to me and. then uh I got another part of this text. message I'll just read one more of the. three and this one says that they are a.
16 year old. a lot of these people were role-playing. to be children and in our investigations. we found out there was a lot of actual. kids on this website real kids they were. under 18 at the time of uh this this. when I hacked the site what are they. doing on there they're selling their. bodies for money kids two of these. people yeah it's kids prostituting. themselves yes yes so one of them I. don't know if this is a real 16 year old. or not but what was said was pretty. disturbing regardless uh it said God I.
really want to be a mom I need someone. who wants to. 16 year old when I have our daughter I'd. let you do whatever you wanted from. whatever age make me watch as you. teaching her how to lovingly. don't worry if it's a boy you can watch. teaching them how to properly woman. teaching them how to slap and hurt me to.
he'd be so cute trying to. a little. God so when I got these text messages. and reading them even current day right. now. um. it it makes me sick to my stomach to. even think about and uh and I know. they're gone. so you know I mean not all these people. are still out there but the website's. down how many how many people are on. this website at first I thought it was a.
couple thousand when I uh cleaned up the. database and and figured it out there's. about 7 000 people and just this one. website and uh we have a total of five. you have seven thousand people on one. website you've mm-hmm and you couldn't. you couldn't become a member of this. website unless you answered uh an. application where you you you had to. answer a question that was something. like are you okay with uh you know doing.
something horrible with the. three-year-old and in all of their holes. you had to answer that question in. detail I forget the exact verbiage of. the question it's it's a it's posted. somewhere. um in regards to this interview or or. project Veritas one or the other uh but. you had to fill that out to become a. member of the website you just saw and. which would tell me that either you're. an undercover cop or you're an actual. predator on the site I mean who would. answer a question like that even if they. were just curious is there multiple so.
it's a whole questionnaire you have to. do to get into the site there was a few. questions I think two or three they were. really horrible but you had to answer. them or they were not would not approve. you to join the site is there any other. prerequisites to. get on sites like these. um yes so so what I learned in this. process during the investigation and. exporting you know everything that I. could legally export uh I found that. they used a chat app called Telegram and.
they were going back and forth talking. about uh about you know they would call. it cheese pizza and use all the time to. all kinds of different phrases for it. and I realized there was these. moderators in the chat rooms outside of. the website. um where if you would send them. they would let you into another group. which was full. but of course I couldn't do that so I. never got to see past that part but I do. have evidence of that being a thing when.
I have because I exported all the chat. logs so I can it shows that if I were to. send something horrible to one of those. moderators I would have seen something. even worse which is hard to imagine than. you know we are already seeing here. what did you what did you do with that. information it helped actually let me. backtrack I'm sorry how how long did it. take you to crack into that website and. get this information. um I I wasn't sure like I said when I. got the text messages and I wanted to.
try to take my goal was to just take the. site down and I knew I could make that. happen because it was on the clear net. uh regular internet for anyone to visit. I knew I could do that but I didn't know. if I could actually get access to their. server once I found the vulnerability uh. maybe an hour two hours at the most if I. could remember correctly it wasn't long. and they never found out they were. hacked so to this day. um they they never found out and they. will never find out.
I mean unless unless somebody in that. database is watching this uh now you. know you're on you're I have your data. and uh we will find you so I actually. recommend you come forward so we don't. have to make the story up for you. what did you do with this information. so. as soon as I got the information I would. I thought it was slam dunk I thought. like these people were going to jail you. know I thought maybe I solved something. that that the FBI or somebody was you.
know working on. for a long time and uh I instantly went. to the exploited children uh tip line. and I uh I submitted you know saying who. the owner of the website was that I had. access to all the data and uh and that. they were welcome to have it basically. um then I reached out to a bunch of news. articles or I'm sorry news stations and. to talk to a ton of reporters and all of. them were super excited to talk to me. what news stations.
um. Sun Sentinel daily mail Business Insider. Fox Summit some influencers Ronan Farrow. Candice Owens they both didn't read my. messages. but as for the news stations. they you know I had full conversations. with the reporters they knew what they. were getting themselves into they were. very excited about reporting on it and. once it got back from legal they weren't. allowed to report on it. um. um I said well okay if you're not. allowed to report on the illegally. obtained material that I have just let.
parents know that this website exists. and who you know what you know whatever. you want but just keep whatever illegal. out of it you know I just want them to. parents to know that this website exists. you don't need to put my name you don't. need to put the material that I obtained. nothing uh every single one of them. completely disregarded me I you know I. sent a lot of those notes over to. project Veritas with some evidence of. that but uh not a single person until. now has done anything about this not one.
not any conservative media not any. liberal media because unfortunately. that's the day and age we live in now. right. um none of them none of them would touch. this no none of them want to be involved. in Saving kids when I say I tried I. tried so hard and nobody wanted to do. anything. so what wound up happening with the. information. so.
law enforcement didn't want to get. involved either no so I called my. attorney uh locally and I called an. attorney in Virginia. because the owner of the website. happened to be a democratic politician. and ran for congress two times his name. is Nathan Larson and I'll explain more. about him in a second but I talked to a. lawyer in Virginia because I knew that's. where he lived and I wanted to see what. I could do from there so the lawyer in. Virginia basically told me she didn't. know what to say she never heard of.
anything like this. um the lawyer in Florida reached out to. the local task force let them know that. I had access to the information. and then as well as you know doing that. tip line so from that point on uh you. know all of these news stations and all. the law enforcement connections whatever. you want to call them they all were. fully aware that Nathan Larson was. running this website that he was you. know he ran for congress twice that uh. that he was an extremist he did crazy. things.
um but he he did run for Congress two. different times at Virginia so I thought. that they would take that seriously well. completely ignored. completely ignored it. project Veritas gave me access to some. of the stuff you guys are working on. together and in one of those videos. you're reading a quote from Nathan. Larson I'm going to read it right now. this is from Nathan Larson Democratic. politician the RAM for cubic Congress.
multiple times ran a website for pedos. to discuss their dark intentions and. Fantasies. here's the quote it's not enough kids. and take their innocence you also need. to reproduce the Next Generation with. them. let them see that you prefer to. The Offspring you have with them. than to continue to have with a woman. who is no longer jailbait. the quote continues.
but you can still sometimes just let her. know though that. what you love her for the most is. producing with you. is producing with you a fresh new young. girl. and that this is her main value and. contribution hat you think fondly of her. this is disgusting I'm sorry you think. fondly of her for because that beautiful.
daughter reminds you of her. it's unimaginable. it's like how how do people think this. way but there's so many people that. think this way that it's alarming. is the word for it I don't know how how. else to put it it's way more people than. you'd think than you'd like to believe. code words pizza and cooking.
and cheese pizza. stands for. yep. Yep this is disgusting yeah I think it's. only worse than that you know it's it's. really bad. how much worse does it get. worse I mean people if this this is a. person talking about it and it makes me. uncomfortable it just as much as much as. it makes you uncomfortable but uh you.
know these people what they're talking. about they're they're doing you know. this guy isn't some guy with a bunch of. fantasies this guy got arrested six. months after nobody did anything about. it and uh you know like I said I try my. best he gets arrested six months later. with a 12 year old in uh at a layover at. an airport after he kidnapped her so not. only did he uh talk about it he did it. and he he got caught you know as for. some other people I don't know how much.
more I can go into it but one guy we're. investigating. um as of 2020 which is after I submitted. the data he got in trouble for doing. something horrible to a child as well. became a fugitive and I think they. eventually got him but you know we're. we're not even close to through the list. yet and uh you know we got a lot more. people to expose and. they're not just talking about it. they're doing it let's backtrack real. quick because you kind of breezed over. what happened. um. so the guy.
with the pit with the daughter in the. bathtub yeah what happened. that guy with the daughter in the. bathtub I don't know where he went he's. part of the database I'm talking about. the guy that got arrested in Denver oh. that's that's uh Nathan Larson okay so. Nathan Larson he got arrested six months. after the fact. um after I hacked his site after I. submitted it to the authorities to all. the news stations he gets arrested with. the 12 year old girl and gets arrested. for kidnapping and I don't think he got.
charged with rape but he got the. kidnapped in charge. um Nathan Larson then went to federal. prison for that. and um you know the website went down. and uh. you know he just he sat in prison for I. forget forget what the sentence was but. it was quite a long time and to my. knowledge when you're when you're a. person like him you are going to be put. except you're going to be separated in a. federal prison from the regular inmates.
and. you know spoiler alert but Nathan. Larson's dead and uh the reason why he's. dead is due to starvation the news says. that it's suicide. um. if I had to guess the inmates that were. you know responsible for feeding him. just let him you know starve to death. and I I believe he deserved every second. of that pain you and me both. so there's been there's been five. I'm sorry there's been five other sites. that you've cracked into so when when I.
hacked uh rapey it uh Nathan left back. up so this previous websites on the same. server so it really only took one site. to get all five. how many names all together. um I'm not I can't give you an exact. number I'm not sure I bet it's tens of. thousands tens of thousands of people. and are these people all in. we're at work do you know where they're. all at um all over the country all uh. summer some are international but most.
of them you know are in the country so. when did 561 PC start. um. so 561 PC. is an organization that. um I created with a friend uh Scrappy. he's an MMA fighter. um it started because of the frustration. that nothing happened from this original. uh this this whole ordeal you know I'm. this we're talking two and a half years. after the fact I've been you know. looking into information on Predators. for organizations on YouTube.
um anonymously with my name not attached. whatsoever just finding information and. uh sending it over to the organizations. um and then they would go and confront. them theirselves and I did that for many. organizations like I said completely. anonymously I wasn't looking for. recognition or my name to be attached to. anything. um I meet Scrappy that's the Lamppost. whatever you want to call them he uh he. he's a really good dude and hold on. Scrappy is a professional MMA fighter in.
the UFC correct well he did not he. didn't he didn't get his call for the. UFC yet but uh he's you know 8-0. undefeated seven Knockouts he's he's. likely gonna get the call he's on the. way yeah yeah and um even Dana White. knows who he is I believe. um. it's uh it's it's you know he's a good. dude outside of fighting he's a very. nice guy gentle heart you know religious. guy you know great great person in my. eyes so he was a good partner to pick. for this upcoming project and I brought. up I was like hey man.
um you know do you know how bad it is on. the internet like I told him the story. that I just told you he was blown away. by the fact that nothing happened and I. told him I said like you know let me. show you let me show you how bad it is. not just tell you so I was like Google. search uh teen chat room Florida or you. know it was something of that something. similar to that so he Googled it I told. him click any chat room I don't care. which one it is he clicks the chat room. he click guess you click guess that you. know you didn't have to make an account. made his name Ashley 13 female Florida.
something like that and just said hi in. the chat room and within five minutes he. must have got 40 50 60 messages from. grown men some naked some been trying to. video chat so I'm saying that you know. they want to meet up and a very horrible. things that grown men hanging out in. these teen chat rooms. um. from that point on he realized how. serious this actually was and I was like. hey well you know that it's not just. these chat rooms it's most of the time. it's social media apps like so like.
Facebook Snapchat Instagram Twitter Tick. Tock Tinder. um oh you know all of them it's anywhere. a kid has access to Roblox Minecraft. their Xbox when they're talking to their. friends. um these predators are on everything so. I said to them hey if we get some decoys. in there and they you know grown women. or grown men they pretend to be children. we can go and try to catch these people. and expose them in real life just the. same way I've been helping organizations.
for two and a half years do it except. instead of me sending it to them we'll. do it ourselves we'll clean up our you. know at least try our best to clean up. our our whole our town in South Florida. and he was like yeah man I'm definitely. down to do it. and of course you know at first you. think when somebody says they're down to. do something like that it's a hit or. miss but he was like he was on point. ready to go and uh you know we've caught. 14 people now in a couple months of of. doing it and you know local law. enforcement Delray Beach police have.
been incredible. and we're just going to continue to grow. you know if anybody's interested in. checking that out it's at 561 PC like. 561 Predator catchers on Instagram same. as for YouTube. and uh. yeah you'll find me there and you'll. also find uh Scrappy there let's rewind. what what is what was your first. operation like. my first what your first operation. what's the the first guy you guys caught. together as a team how did that go down.
so the first guy we caught as a team was. just a complete test. uh Scrappy and I used an app called. Grindr which is a gay dating app for the. most part not only gay but mostly gay. and um. we both use the filter to make ourselves. look younger and uh we just started. talking to any guy that messaged us we. didn't message anybody first we waited. for people to message us and uh one guy. eventually within an hour decided to. talk to us and we went out met him.
called the cops and a guy the guy ran to. the bathroom we couldn't film in the. bathroom where'd you meet him uh right. on Atlantic Ave in Delray in front of a. million people and uh you know I. embarrassed I screamed at the top of my. lungs at what he was there to do and uh. you know I don't do that anymore because. you can get it disorderly conduct for. that I didn't know that at the time but. uh that was my first encounter guy just. ran into the bathroom no one hid until. the cops got there and at that time the. cops had no clue what was going on so.
they just let him go. have you gotten anybody arrested yeah. multiple people how many uh three so far. let's go over the first one that you got. arrested what did that operation look. like. um our one is actually. uh. no actually I think do you mind if I go. over the guy that I know uh the full. story of right now because some of them. are active.
so the one guy we have a YouTube video. and uh we we made him you know I did. pull up I'm sorry uh we're gonna do. push-ups and sit-ups you know to. distract them well the cops were on. their way and uh he said that you know. that the girl had breeding hips and I. believe he said something about uh. wanting to take a shower with her or. something like that. um and how Florida works is they have. the police station and then they have.
the state attorney some states have. District Attorneys some states have. state attorneys I think they're the same. thing but they're just named differently. but the state attorney is the one that. ultimately makes a decision on the if. the person is going to be convicted or. charged with the with these charges but. the cops make the decision on what. they're being charged with so. who meet the guy he admits to everything. you know that he said in the chat logs. he admits that maybe even a little bit. more then he admits it again to the. police officers he goes in the. interrogation room I send the chat logs.
and the video to them while they're. interrogating. um he admits everything to them because. it's not evidence until the Predator. says it like our evidence isn't isn't. valuable because we're Vigilantes so you. know it's not technically evidence. unless the police obtain it. so uh all that went well the cops spent. Delray police spent a ton of time. building the report out for this guy. State Attorney you know was kind of iffy. about it it seemed and the entirety of.
the case was thrown out because uh there. was no shower inside of Walmart so. there's no way he could have showered. you've got to be me yeah yeah. so it's it's a little bit rough we had a. meeting who's responsible for that case. getting dropped. um. I don't I know it's the state attorney. for whoever Palm Beach County for Palm. Beach County but yeah it's I don't know. the exact name is that an elected slot I. believe so.
uh we should look that name up and post. it right here it's wild to me but but. the one thing that I can say is that. this one of the sergeants who used to be. a detective did have a meeting with us. right after that and told us what the. state attorney would be looking for to. secure a conviction so we are trying to. fall within those guidelines now like we. call the cops regardless every time but. we're not sure if we're going to get an. arrest or not unless it falls within the. guidelines that we're told Ryan do you. think you could demonstrate right here.
right now how fast these sexual. predators predators will show up in a. chat room yeah fire your computer up. let's do it all right I'm recording so. now I'm just gonna say. hi. who. wants to chat. and I named myself Ashley female New. Jersey 13 female New Jersey. let's see how many private messages come. in. two already. three.
it's been like 10 seconds yep hey you. want to fool around Hey how. old are you. let me just copy that and send that to. everybody because we've got other. messages coming in. what chat room are you in. just a teen chat hey you want to cuddle. a bit I didn't I I mean I'm taking I'm. giving them the benefit of the doubt. right now that uh that they didn't read. the oh he's 47. 47 years old in a teen.
chat room you got him in what five. seconds he's already messaging in oh. yeah there's a Tony there's I can't even. keep up with them here because every. time I click one there's more on the. list. uh he says I said are you okay with my. age he says yes age. 13 like my profile says. I got two more messages so now we're at. one two three four five.
I'm 19. Let's ignore the 19 year old. even though it's disgusting. it hasn't even been 60 seconds yet. there's another guy here's the other guy. this guy's 15 ignore him that is a real. teenager in a teen chat. uh. uh the 47 year old. says he said age I said 13 like my. profile says he said name.
Ashley. and then another guy just messaged. how old are you okay this person is a. child too so out of all of these there's. one guy here who is 47 years old less. than a minute who wants to talk to a. child in a teen chat and I only said hi. in the chat room nothing else holy. dude you you jumped in a chat room you. called yourself Ashley 13 New Jersey.
um. literally less than 10 seconds we have a. 47 year old. one to one to have sex with a with a 13. year old girl yeah. yeah that's how quick it is like I. Googled team chat uh I'm in a different. state so I get different results here. for you know the local teen chats. there's no way for me to set it up you. know all I did was say hi in the chat. room and press enter. and you know a bunch of messages came in.
some were from actual teenagers as it. should be in a teen chat and uh one of. the guys which you know who knows if. they really are teenagers that's another. thing but one guy was open about that he. was 47 years old and. he was completely fine with the age. where where all is this happening is. this happening just list off. where this is happening that's that that. everyday people use all the time uh. Facebook Instagram Tick Tock Snapchat. Kik what's up uh Roblox Minecraft Xbox.
Playstation Xbox and Playstation yeah. because you can chat with random people. in games. um they could represent themselves as. whoever they want. um yeah yeah I mean it's just the list. goes on anywhere where a human can. communicate with another human. the child is not safe so parents need to. be watching that and not just assuming. like you know if you're if your kid says. hey I'm on the phone with my friend.
which friend is it you know is it is it. one that I know. um like you can't be scared of being a. helicopter parent because if your kid's. aggravated at you for a couple of. minutes for you know being. overprotective in these scenarios I. think it's worth it's not your fault. regardless of what happens but to save. them from a life of trauma I think it. might be worth the extra couple minutes. or aggravating your kid to see who. they're actually talking to see which. who their friends really are and uh just.
spend that extra time because it could. it could save a lifelong battle with. trauma this happened to somebody I know. in in Parkland you know remember I used. to live in Boca so I got a lot of. friends down there have it in Parkland. he's got. a daughter couple daughters and she was. she. she was blackmailed by somebody and had. taken pictures and. it's it's it's everywhere just as you.
just demonstrated it I mean 10 10. seconds less than 10 seconds and he and. he's on there yeah is this is this the. case every single time uh yeah yeah some. of the guys want to chat for longer. before they meet up in person but uh. yeah it's it's that easy. no it's it's not good that it's easy but. it is that easy to to find them they're. out there and they are. they're they're being predatory like you. know like the name States.
how. I don't I didn't I don't know what to. call it I don't want to call it a. success rate but. what is the percentage of. people that you're talking to on here. that will come and meet. um. depends on how long you talk to them and. if you can convince them that you're not. a police officer would you say the. majority of them way more than the. majority yeah 90 yeah. over 90 percent.
um it depends if they ask to meet or not. yet because sometimes it takes a while. for them to chat so I would say yeah. like if they if they ask to meet 90 95. plus if they are asked to meet up. 95 you think yeah. damn. how did how did project Veritas get. involved with it. um they saw the a viral podcast and me. talking about the website and they were. interested and they said well I want to. help you bring Justice to this uh to to.
what the other stations failed to to. bring Justice to and the FBI even failed. to or all everybody everybody failed me. I felt like they failed me and project. Veritas said hey we will do something. about this we'll put our whole team on. it we're going to we're gonna we're. gonna bring light to this we're gonna. bring these people out of the dark. corners of the earth and uh and it made. me feel like okay I have I have a team. here you know I have people that are.
willing to. you know fly across the country and meet. me in a 24-hour notice which they did to. have a conversation. they they flew me out to New York to to. do an interview. um you know just off my word you know I. could have been lying I could have been. a member that's who knows what they what. they didn't know who I was so they just. took my word for it and they gave me the. most compassion and love that more. compassionate love than I would have. ever expected and still are to this day. what is this collaboration between.
mu and them look like how are they are. you you're obviously feeding them all. the information that you've uncovered so. far you're still getting more. information. um so no so right now we're going off. the data that I already have which is so. much. um especially with Nathan Larson's. websites you know right the one we're. focusing on at the moment is rapey.co. and Dot t-o so anyone that was on that. list is going to be investigated we have.
all of their information or ways to find. it so we're just going to go down that. list keep exposing them in person. um and uh we've found quite a few. already so it's it's only going to get. more extreme especially as the team gets. bigger. and hopefully we do some justice put. some more in prison uh uncover some. secrets. how are you getting how are you guys so. they sent me so this interview is timed. perfectly we when project Veritas starts.
to release this information we're right. behind them we've talked to them we're. collaborating with them we want to just. dump gas. and amplify what you guys are doing to. get this word out so what does this. collaboration look like between you and. them you're feeding them the information. and then how are they reaching out to. these guys and and. how are they getting to them to come in. and and. confess to this stuff.
um they so they have their own ways of. dealing with undercover uh operations. and and like filming Undercover uh but. when we find the information on the. people you know we're going off the. database we're taking the information. per user we're tying that to what we you. know we have some some archived images. of when the website did exist so we. could say this user said this at this. time or replied to this at that time. figure out who that user is and then. organize a team to go out there and meet.
them but the process of finding out who. they are is called ocent or open source. intelligence and project Veritas has. been doing that already for years as. well as me as I specialize in in Ocean. and and obviously being a hacker it just. comes with the comes with the territory. um so working together as a team finding. these people has been you know no. different than what I would do on a. daily basis except it's just making a. bigger impact how many guys have you. guys put in prison so far.
um I don't think I can talk about that. part yet okay yeah we'll wait. let's talk about. the John Lewis confrontation yep. he was on rapey.to website with his. email link to it he says he found the. website through a telegram group yeah. first he admits to having a fetish to. young children went to therapy for help. with that addiction has gone has been.
going for many years and has made a. little progress with his addiction. addiction to porn right yeah yeah. do you want to talk about that interview. at all have you seen that yeah I watched. the interview and uh the guy is in a. facility for his addiction to porn but. was completely cognizant and coherent or. you know he's not he wasn't like a. mental health case to like where he. couldn't he didn't know right from wrong. he definitely was fully aware of what he. was doing. um he like I said he's one of seven.
thousand on that list but he did admit. on an undercover camera that um that you. know he was. to child he was soliciting and that he. was a member of not only but those. telegram groups I mentioned earlier that. were you know trading and soliciting. admit all of that clear as day on camera. so that will be forwarded forwarded. along to the police and uh we'll see. what happens from there but that was.
very recent his confrontation. the application question to join the. group we've already gone over this if a. man wants his three-year-old daughter in. every. while she is. do you have a problem with that please. elaborate on your thought process so we. can better judge your suitability for. this site. John Lewis's response I do have a. problem with that that's disgusting. then they expose the conversation make a.
video. in the school basement. denied it it was a lie denied received. past he only admits to having seen. but did not distribute it and then. and then confessed who have looked or. seen images never physically acting on. those urges and then later confessed.
right. and and says that he never did any of. that uh and if what he says that he did. on the Forum he legitimately says that. he's a kid in the basement across from. the school and just by chance that's. where he lives across from a school. where his parents live so you know he. could he could say he didn't or he did. but the fact that he admitted to. like I've been in some very very tough.
spots in my life but I've never thought. about a child ever that's and I I doubt. you have either it's it's a. if. I don't trust anything you say yeah you. know so if you tell me on a forum the. kid in the basement you probably in the. basement that's that's what I'm gonna. safely assume. do you know what happened to this guy. that's like I said so that one's so new.
that I'm not sure what's gonna happen to. him but hopefully he's still out there. right now though yeah. yeah how do we solve this man. there's no way to solve it for sure like. you know it's never going to go away and. unfortunately we have some states that. are trying to normalize it we have to. stay sort of trying to make it a sexual. orientation. um and then we have other states what. states uh California being the main one. that I know of what are they doing. they're trying to make it a sexual.
orientation I think they're calling it. uh. something attracted minors or something. or uh. they're making it okay we need to accept. so now we need to accept. people who are. little kids yes that's what they're. trying to do accept that now yeah. California is one state that they're. trying to make it part of a sexuality to. be attracted to children it's just it's.
a sexuality to be attracted to Children. you know any other states that are doing. this I could Google it but in California. is uh is the main one that I know of not. surprising yeah not surprising not. surprising at all yeah so that's that. blows my mind that that's even a thought. and then there's people that defend. these guys it's a mental illness it's a. sickness it's this it's that I don't. care what it is because it affects. somebody else you know it's gonna ruin. somebody's life forever. um. why do you think these states are.
pushing the ship I don't know I don't. know but Florida I'll give you a good. example I mean descent this is trying to. pass a bill to uh to issue the death. penalty for for the sex crimes against. children from what I understand that's. in place is that in place is it locked. in I mean it must have been recent if so. but I don't want to misspeak but the way. I understood it is that it is in there. now and that if you're doing this. and you get caught. they're going to kill you I love.
that. why why is it. that should be the case everywhere my. opinion why are all the Democrat States. trying to legalize this and make. this normal I don't understand. that I don't know I don't know how you. can vote for that I don't know how. you can affiliate with that I don't. know how you can think it's okay it's. disgusting yeah. yeah I agree with you I agree with you. it's like you know.
kids yeah they're creating people and. people voting this in yeah. Newsome Gavin Newsom got recalled and. they voted him in again and look at this. now he's making this normal. I mean I hate to get political. but what the is wrong with these. people I agree with you. very it's uh I I can't explain I wish I. could I wish I could explain why we just. got a message in 10 seconds in a random.
chat room from a 47 year old man wanting. to. but uh I can't I I have no explanation. and all I know is that we need to find a. way for parents to be educated and for. kids when they get old enough to be. educated. um so that this doesn't happen to them. now that's that's all I know that I. could do and uh the only other thing I. know I could do outside of educating. parents schools uh children is uh is you. know help some some you know.
organizations out that the human. trafficking and you know victims of any. type of sexual assault whether they're. children or adults like uh I have the. resources and the team and the the skill. set to be able to help people I just. need those people to be put in place as. well as let's say parents monitoring. their child on an app you know I have. some ideas in my head for apps but I. don't want to plug a specific app if I. don't know if it's great or if I can. trust them so you know even if you don't. plug even if you don't plug an app rhyme.
what do these apps do like so if I put. this app on my son's phone what do I get. so you're gonna know where he's at at. all times you'll be able to read his. text messages you'll be able to check. his app usage he'd be able to you know. lock down certain parts of the phone. that you don't want them to to be on. um and you know just basically as if you. have access to the phone but you have. more access than him. it's it's really more I think it's more. important to do that. and have your kid aggravated at you then.
like I said the the latter yeah I mean I. would 100 agree with you so basically. the statistics with the like the the one. in ten people before the age of 18 are. are sexually assaulted and 40 are 12. years old or under I didn't know that. yeah I mean that's 40 40 or under 12. so it's important to do this stuff you. know. so with these apps so the way I'm.
understanding what you're saying is if I. put one of these apps on. anybody's phone I basically get control. just like you were talking about earlier. people's computer I can control. everything they're doing it's like a. commercial remote access Trojan how easy. is it to. to manipulate the app I mean because. here's my concern I'm getting old. and my son's gonna be a lot more tech. savvy than I am right so he's going to.
learn how to defeat that yeah for sure. so I don't think that it's going to be. easy as of right now I know it's not. easy I know of one that my uh my uncle. is using and it hasn't been beaten by uh. by his daughter. so uh you know I I don't think it'll be. that easy nothing's impossible but uh. you know they could always get on a. computer which is other ways to protect. the computer. if it was me as a kid maybe I'd get a. little more crafty because you know. that's what I like to do I like to hack. computers.
um. but I don't know it would it would stop. me and make me second guess what I was. doing if I knew my parents or a parent. was watching everything that I was doing. online I would second guess my. conversations and who I talked to. damn man this is because like I'll. give you one example um a guy uh a guy. was talking to our decoy this is like. the second or third person that we. caught talking to our decoy in a normal. chat room not like that like a like you.
know regular social media site and was. using a photo of some guy that was in a. band as a profile photo using a fake. phone number fake age and a fake name. and. we were like we can't find information. on them like we can meet up with them. but we're not gonna know anything about. the guy so we eventually got the decoy. to get the guy to send pictures of his. face and um you send some real pictures. of his face I was able to find him on. the internet found a real name found you. know that he was not the age that he.
said not the name that he said that he. wasn't even using his real photos he. booked a hotel room. um a hotel room he ordered I even. actually ordered pizza to the hotel room. thinking that he was meeting with an 11. year old at that time and uh it's you. know you gotta remember that the 11 year. old he thought he was talking to. was under the assumption they were. meeting some guy from a band that was. younger that got a hotel for the night. that just ordered pizza when in reality.
it's some guy in his mid-40s. it's it's an unbelievably messed up. let's take a break I need a break. hey guys let me tell you about this. subscription service that I've been. working real hard on called vigilance. Elite. patreon basically on patreon we have it. broken up into three different tiers we.
got tier one tier two and tier three. let's Dive In. our Tier 1 patrons get all the behind. the scenes footage of the Sean Ryan show. that could include behind the scenes. photos that could be side conversations. that we have in between breaks that. could be specific questions that our. patrons give us for the guests on the. Sean Ryan Show and a ton of bonus. content that doesn't really fit into any. specific category. for our tier 2 patrons they get access.

want to clear a couple things up we were. talking about the. California law and the Florida law so we. printed some stuff up this is from the. Liberty Champion I didn't realize this. got this got this stuff in California. got signed into law. in 2020. right yeah I don't know you. know God knows what more they've done. since then yeah who knows I know the. lgbtq plus Community from what it says. in one of those articles they were not.
happy at all about this decision so it. seems they're not in support of uh or at. least the lgbtq movement is not in. support of the sexual or uh sexually. attracted to minors or men I can't I. can't remember plus is that what this is. I believe so but I don't want to I don't. want to be wrong yeah let's let's just. stick to what we know so I'm just going. to read this this is uh a report from. the Liberty Champion it is an opinion. poll. I think this uh portion is factual you.
can look it up uh we're on a time crunch. so whatever look it up but according to. this a couple weeks ago this is dated. October 12 2020. a couple weeks ago. California governor Gavin Newsom signed. a law that would allow judges to decide. whether or not to list someone as a sex. offender for having. or. with a minor. according to the bill it only applies to.
consensual sex whether it be. between a minor 14 years old or or older. so as long as they're 14 you're good in. California well I guess I guess it's up. to the judge it's up to the judge and. they believe that children can consent. at that age. um and then from just you know from what. I know just hearing things or reading. things that there is a stick they want.
to make it a sexuality in certain States. one being California that you're. attracted to minors overall. um and I don't believe kids can consent. personally not in the slightest this. this goes on to say yeah it looks like. this is an opinion poll so I don't want. to get too but far in the weeds but yeah. it looks like they're adding it to the. lgbtq plus community. miners deserve the right to consensual.
sex too no it's ridiculous that's not. for me that's from this right I totally. disagree with this I agree somebody. tries to make a weird sound yeah I don't. agree with it either but uh then we go. and then the Florida thing this is April. 20th 2023. this is from ABC News they're really. upset about this uh if you read the. whole article but Florida Governor Ron. DeSantis on Thursday signed a bill that.
will allow juries to impose the death. sentence. even if all 12 jurors do not agree he is. also likely to approve a second bill. passed by the lawmakers on Tuesday next. Tuesday that would make sexual battery. of a 12 year old of I'm sorry sexual. battery of a child under the age of 12 a. death penalty offense. it's quite the difference between the uh. two states there I agreed I know where. I'd want to live yeah I and I do live in.
Florida and and totally agree with uh. what he's what he's trying to do I still. I just can't believe people are into. this you know yeah I do it I do it. every day and uh I still can't believe. it but um so we're gonna kind of wrap. things up here there's a couple of. things that we haven't talked about yet. I know you got a couple of facts uh. statistics that you want to Rattle off. before we get to that real quick let's. go over a couple of examples on our. break you were talking about uh.
confronting a man in Delray Beach yes. who then was later caught. and then we also talked about a letter. that you got from a. I don't want to say a gentleman's. attorney a pedophiles attorney right uh. basically standing up for him trying to. pay you I'll I'll leave it to you from. here let's start with let's start with. the guy. um. the the video as of this as of recording. now isn't isn't on our YouTube channel. but um by the time this this is released.
people will be able to watch this this. man's video. um he showed up after talking to our. decoy and you know talking sexually. um he was fully aware of the age uh and. he he I looked you know I looked into. the guy the guy went to school to be a. teacher he has a bachelor's in in. teaching a a teaching to some degree I. don't know what specific topic or if. teaching is just a degree but he is a. teacher he taught at two different.
schools what schools. um I have them uh on my computer I don't. have them off top of my head local. Florida schools uh one is an online. tutor school and another one's not so uh. but he has two two properties one in. Massachusetts and one in Florida. uh he showed up to meet. um his name was Brent and. um I walked up to him with the camera uh. Scrappy behind me and we called his name. and uh the guy just starts walking away. while he's on the phone with our decoy.
and um we're like hey we have all your. information we know where you live we. know you're like we uh you know instead. of just saying we know where you live or. giving them the address we're telling. them what you know his name we're. telling him where he's worked we tell. him the age like this guy knew that we. knew who he was and he kept walking and. kept walking then he goes into a full. Sprint he's full sprinting through the. Walmart and you know I'm not a big. Runner so I just start chasing after him. you know I'm running as fast as I can to. uh to catch up with him I got the camera.
in my hand and I'm screaming at the guy. saying you know what are you what are. you doing here like what's going through. your head guy gets in his car he drives. away. didn't get a word out of the guy so we. thought okay let's just report it to the. police we'll put the video up it'll just. be a short video we'll attach some of. the chat logs so people see he was a. teacher and um I thought that was the. end of it a couple days later uh I get a. text message from a friend that says hey. didn't you just catch this guy uh her. name's Courtney Elizabeth she's a.
predator catcher she uh. she texted me a screenshot from another. Predator catcher 1200 miles away in. Pennsylvania so we're in Florida. originally this guy is drove to. Pennsylvania for whatever reason I don't. know why he was there if he was on his. way to Massachusetts I don't know what. he was doing there but got caught again. by another Predator catching group and. um and I I reached out to that that. Predator catcher uh Luzerne County. Predator catcher he just he does his. County and is known in that specific.
area and he sent me all the chat logs. one of the chat logs said that he was. chased out of Walmart by two police. officers and the guy has no idea who we. were because we didn't get a chance to. say you know we didn't get to get a. chance to even tell them what we were. doing tell them what we were doing. um so just you know the point of the. matter is he didn't get the point the. first time he likely ran from Florida. because he thought he was being. investigated or wanted by the police and.
then you also have to think if he got. caught twice by two uh Predator catchers. which is not the most common you know. profession or niche in the world. um how many times this man hasn't been. has not been caught. so it's disgusting you know that he's a. teacher and discussing that he'd do it. twice but just think of the amount of. times this man has probably not been. caught. so that was that was one thing and then. we caught another guy that I wanted to I. wanted to reference um we caught another. guy.
um named Stephen who he went to his job. we asked for him what was his job uh he. was uh he's a manager at a seafood. restaurant and. we showed up there we sat at the table. he was supposed to meet with with our. decoy at that point uh it was 13 or 14. years old uh my memory serves me. correctly. um and uh he bailed last second that day. a lot of times these guys will Bell and. then they'll come back or you know it.
they never really disappear because they. can't they can't control themselves this. guy was very sexual he said that he. wanted uh he wanted our decoy to sit on. his face he wanted her to come back to. his house horrible things so we were. like you know what we're not gonna let. this guy just bail and disappear we know. where he works we have his information. let's just go there order two glasses of. water we know he's the manager so he'll. come up after we request the manager and. we'll bring him outside and have a. conversation so we did that he was fully. aware that he was being recorded and uh. everything that uh everything you know.
was it was very transparent what was. going on you know we asked questions he. told us the answers to them he knew we. weren't police he knew he was free to go. at any time and he offered a ton of info. nation that was up to him. so uh you know that gets over with. police come we give the police all the. information that we have and some time. goes by and I get a an email which the. original email was uh you know saying to. take the video down off of the off of.
the internet and uh it went originally. that went to Scrappy's cell phone. um and he didn't see it at first but. then when he did he saw he sent it to me. and then I replied to it but the first. email was straight to the point like. take this video down uh it's in a. violation of this statute of the privacy. laws of Florida and last time I checked. you can record in public. um you know it's you have no expectation. of privacy in a public place uh audio or. video and uh so I wasn't too concerned.
about the threat from the law firm who's. representing our Predator. um so I sent the reply back and I said. take a look at the person that you are. representing here are the chat logs if. you want if you want to be clear. um because I didn't release them with. video so the attorney could read all of. the horrible things that the guy not. only admitted in the video but uh but. that he said himself in the chats with. pictures of his face then they reply a. few days later and I'll read you their. reply they said thank you for your. response in accordance with Florida.
statute 934.03. we are requesting that you remove the. video as stated in my previous email. this video is exposing Mr blank to an. increased risk of physical harm in the. video you have exposed this face and. full name without his consent which is a. violation of privacy laws see below and. then this is from the statute in Florida. it's illegal to record an in-person or. telephone conversation without the. consent of all parties violating this. law constitutes either a misdemeanor or.
third degree felony depending on the. offender's intent and conviction history. can also subject subject the offender to. civil damages. and then at the bottom this is the. kicker. we respect everything that you do and. acknowledge your mission of doing what. is right and protecting the public in. fact we would like to offer you one. thousand dollars to support your cause. and for the administrative costs for the. removal I will also be at your service. if you need our help in the future if.
you face any legal issues with your. channel again we're not looking for a. battle we're looking for your help. respectfully blank so I will not release. their firm's name uh I don't respect the. fact that they're representing a. predator but uh they haven't filed a. lawsuit against me at this point if they. do this email is is in my possession it. was sent to me I can release this email. it's not a threat by any means but I. will release it to let the public know. that you know somebody's representing a.
predator and trying to make my life and. Scrappy's life more difficult. um you know about exposing a local. predator and then number two the fact. that they said that they would want to. represent us. why would we ever want legal advice from. somebody that would take prob most. likely 500 bucks from a predator to take. down a video that is educating the. people in the area who's dangerous why. would we want to be represented by. somebody that's okay with that yeah so. um I just wanted to like let you know.
that one I blew my mind. this stuff just goes on and on and on. and and. run I want to get you back here again to. dive into this more maybe in six months. or so because I know there's going to be. a bunch of stuff that develops but yeah. so I know you have a couple of. Statistics you want to Rattle off and um. let's rattle those off and then let's. try to end this with some with something. positive okay yeah agreed. so these are just uh you know just some.
some uh statistics about human. trafficking which goes you know is goes. it coincides with exactly what we're. doing catching predators and and these. pedophile ring websites um. one in five uh uh us teenagers who have. received an unwanted sexual solicitation. online that's crimes against children. Research Center. um uh 13 year old 13 years old is the. average age at which a child first. encounters an explicit uh website which.
comes from guard child. 75 percent of children are willing to. share personal information with. strangers that comes from e-safety. commissioner 75 75 percent. fifty percent of sexual exploitation. incidents involving children that begin. to begin on social media platforms what. was that percentage 50 they begin which. I believe is higher yeah um. 27 of online child exploitation cases. involving a perpetrator who is a family.
member or acquaintance. um. Source National Center for missing. exploited children the people that. ignored me. um but yeah 27 of people uh are cases. involving family members and. acquaintances. which I think that number's higher too. so they're just statistics they're not. always accurate um but either way. they're still horrible regardless of. which way you look at it yeah you know. it's it's something to try to wrap your. head around and and and.
understand the severity and how much. this happens but. moving on let's get into some good news. let's. let's talk about how we solve this thing. which seems when you look at it and and. you see you can enter just any chat room. and somebody shows up in five seconds to. literally within 10 seconds we had that. message or it might have been five yeah. we'll find out and um yeah we'll find.
out when the video uh when we edit but. but you know they're. just to bring some hope to people you. know we we actually. videographer came up with a. with a grade. option at least a start and um he was. saying. you make a database you know we pull all. of your. information intelligence that you've. yanked out of these out of these sites. and hopefully you'll continue to exploit.
these sites uh with that information and. make a database a public database that. has all the people that are associated. with these sites names addresses. pictures if we can get them all of it. and then people schools. um businesses people that are looking to. hire. parents anybody can just go under this. database type in a name see if it pops. up or a face or a face yeah or both.
um I think I think that's a. phenomenal idea yeah of course I mean. like we were saying on the Break. um you know it's not like these people. are are Innocent by like there's no. there's no possible chance of them being. innocent there's chat logs of them. talking sexually to what they believe is. a minor and then there's video evidence. of them showing up there at the time. they say they're going to be there most. of the time on the phone with what they. think as a child while they're walking.
through the store or through a public. place to meet who they think is a kid so. the the database of you know if a cop. can't you know if a cop can't get a. charge to stick where the state attorney. doesn't want to go go through with the. case uh well then the public should know. regardless because then they can make. their decision based on the evidence. that was gathered by the public. you know I I don't know what the. legalities would be either but if you. are an attorney.
who knows this subject and you want to. help reach out to zero day reach out to. project Veritas reach out to us. yeah uh all those links will be in the. description but yeah I think that would. be you know what else I think we should. shame the attorneys. who are representing Predators yeah yeah. I think it's ridiculous I mean there's. no money in the world that you could pay. me to get rid of this information to.
stop the journey that I'm on right now I. don't care what you offered me it's not. happening it's it's not worth it there's. I care too much about kids I don't even. have a kid and you know again off the. break I said I can't you know I don't. know how I'm gonna act when I have a kid. I'm already crazy and you know it's. about my friend's kids you know like I'm. I'm gonna be I need to find a balance. between being a crazy parent and uh and. you know and letting my kid have their. own space because I I'm just I'm. terrified yeah me too you know.
I don't I just I don't even. the stuff really gets to me and and when. we connected I told you my goal this. year is to dive into this subject and. bring a lot of awareness to it. and man this eats me alive you know. but and then you read stuff like what. California's doing and then and it's. it's I mean they're they're making this. a. we're trying to normalize it so if.
you're a pedo. moved to California right yeah you're. not down with that move out of. California. it's getting to be that simple you know. they're gonna. look what's going on there you know yeah. everything the whole anyways whatever. but um you know I wanna. I really want your word to get out and I. want to I want to connect you with some. people I want to connect you with my. friend Matt Murphy uh who's doing. operation light shine he's making a huge.
dent in this stuff I think I think How. This Ends obviously government's not. going to get involved right uh. especially in. particular States I guess uh Florida is. getting involved Florida might yeah but. um but whatever government moves as slow. as a snail so I think what it's going to. be is it's going to be this. collaborative effort from citizens. people like you people like Matt Murphy. um going after these guys there's other. organizations out there and it's this.
big collapse turning into this big. collaborative effort you know to get rid. of these people and expose what they're. doing and educate the public on how to. keep your kids safe and just Ryan just. with what you're doing I think I may. have brought this up at the beginning. but I mean if you think about the impact. that you're having you know you're. educating kids. kids are going to wise up to this stuff. that's going to drop the numbers parents. are going to be listening to this.
they're going to wise up to this that's. going to drop numbers. predators are going to watch this and. realize we're coming for them and they. are heavily and they're going to get. scared and some of them are going to. stop so just by doing this show this one. show. it's gonna stop it's gonna stop a. handful it's gonna It's Gonna Save at. least one kid okay one kid is good with. me I want to also actually I already.
sent the text but I want to introduce. you to a podcast that's. um they do phenomenal work it's called. concrete uh it's run uh their host is a. guy named Danny Jones I think he's. somewhere in the Tampa area okay I'd. love to connect you with him I haven't I. haven't even met him in person but I'm a. huge fan of their podcast that's one. that I watched I think I've actually. seen stuff I've seen it with uh I met. one of the uh one of the guys oh good. yeah I didn't meet any of the uh any of.

I'm actually going on his show here. pretty soon and I want to make that. connection too because that guy he does. some really really really good work and.

Matt uh concrete guys and Julian Dorian. so I really appreciate that very much. and and uh yeah the more the more we can. make the more noise we make the better. and uh like I said the resources that I. have and the abilities that I have and. the abilities my team has you know. especially with the cyber security. company and and my hacking team combined. um. the more resource like the more. resources the more we can do I mean it's.
very simple it's I just if I don't have. access to these missions or I don't have. access to some tips or what and I I. can't do anything yeah so yeah what I. want to end this. I want to say if you have fallen victim. to this. or you know somebody that's Fallen. victim to this speak up about it. get in touch with Ryan Montgomery all. your links are going to be in the.
