Specifically I took pictures of the front and back of cards, then gave them to a guy who used some program to put that info onto Walmart gift cards. He and 5 other people bought a bunch of shit, then, enter feds.

How did you acquire the cards in the first place?

For those of you who know what I do or used to do, yeah. Lol.
I plugged in a USB stick today, and this was on it... Glug. No it's not. You've been reading too much output from the Robert Amsterdam propaganda mill. Robert Amsterdam is a paid political lobbyist who specializes in character assassination of politicians and movements opposed to his client. He likes to pitch himself as a "human rights activist" but he simply uses human rights as one tool in his portfolio for harassing his client's rivals. At the moment, Robert Amsterdam is being paid by Thaksin Shinawatra so everything he says and does is determined by the need to promote the interests of his client. Since both the client and the interests are very unsavory, this requires substantial prevarication and obfuscation.
Before going into what's been happening in Bangkok this year, some background is essential. Not just on Thaksin Shinawatra himself but also on Thai politics in general. Let's start with Thaksin. The man is a billionaire who made his pile getting sweetheart deal contracts from the Thai Government for work in modernizing Thai telecommunications infrastructure. He was also a Lieutenant Colonel in the Thai Police. When he first entered politics, his act was quite revolutionary. Normally a Thai political campaign consists of the candidate publishing lists of worthy people who support him. In effect, they provide lists of references that more or less state "I am a good person and can be trusted to work in your interests." People then voted for whoever paid them the most. In Thailand, it's quite possible to have a worthwhile debate on whether vote buying is wrong or not. Thaksin changed that. He conducted a western-style campaign that put a portfolio of promised policies out and invited people to judge his party on the basis of those policies. This was so different that it worked rather well. His Party became the largest in the Thai Parliament and he pushed through the items on his agenda (low cost medical care, low-interest loans for farmers and a few other things, all calculated to endear himself to the rural population – note still buying votes but wholesale rather than retail and using Government money to do it). When the next election came up, his party wasn't just the largest one, it actually had an overall majority.
This made Thaksin's real objectives critical. Thaksin is (or was) a great admirer of the Singaporean model of government and industry. He wanted to create a new Thai state in which there was a single party (controlled by him) and a single corporate entity (controlled by him). The fact that Singapore doesn't really work that way is neither here nor there. Thaksin wanted a state where there was no center of government or economic power that was outside his control. With a majority in Parliament, he set about achieving just that. Hold that thought.

What do you expect? It's not like I do this stuff anymore. I have plenty of old docs on my desktop though. Not like anyone would know how to use it anyway even if this information was still useful.

I can tell. Maybe someday I'll start this stuff up again if I have to, but I prefer not to. I try to live my own life these days instead of one that isn't my own.

He had done it and gotten caught twice before apparently. I literally met his brother one night at Denny's while I was in the halfway house. He said his bro got hit with a lot of time for the third offense. His family pretty much is giving up on him or whatever.

Oh dayum. I'm lucky I've never been caught. It's why I still fear a bit today of being caught. Especially now that I'm over 18.

Yeah, I got lucky since i was never paid or bought anything for my picture taking services. But can't vote for atleast 7 years, can't own a gun probably for life. Can't get a good job for a while. Oh well, off probation. So smoke weed every day!

I was supposed to get something out of it. Things just didn't go according to plan.

Not too bad. I still can't own a gun for another 4 years or so and I still might have a warrant in Colorado. Not sure. It's what weed is there for.

You should get that warrant taken care of. Better now than later.

I used to work in a place where I had access to thousands of credit card details, including the 3 digit security number on the back. I never did anything with them though.
Short answer: I've never stolen anything.

I should, but it's a pain in the ass to go all the way to Colorado for something so little.
