I first heard about this dude many months ago. Why did it take so long to bring him in? He was pretty open about who he is and what he is doing.


The article establishing his identity was only published a month ago[1] and the security expert seems to be impressed with how fast it took to bring him in.

By the time kerb published his story this has being going on for a long long while. He was openly bragging about being in army and stationed in SK.

I mean, didn't army or some agency start investigating this before Kerb?
