He's certainly way WAY ahead of the curve. Who woulda thunk it?!?!?
Have you ever gone back to look at those tabloid psychics' predictions from the year before, to see how many things they got right? No one remembers the things they got wrong. Same-same.

Aside from his approach and general personality, this is another problem I had with BG. And with all tin foil hat types.

If he was really trying to avoid government surveillance on his cell phones, switching them out every 6 months is not nearly enough. Ignoring for a moment that the government doesn't give a shit about BG, assuming "they" were tracking his phones then "they" had probably 5 months and two weeks to listen in to "their" hearts' content.

Guys like that find out a little bit about a few things and decide they have the whole "system" figured out. Then they decide the "system" gives a flying fuck about some cubicle jockey who can't even pay off his student loans. If BG was ever right about anything it was purely by accident.

He should also make sure that he buys the phones in different locations, at different times, when the last one hasn't run out yet. If he doesn't do that, then they can track him by the transactions. Probably bought them all with credit cards

Actually....lecture on CASH for all transactions as well. Phones were purchased at different convenience stores.

At some point he was a cop. He was also an attorney years ago. A former body builder.

I actually remember most of those phases thru the years. Only MET him in 2003 on a ride at Shady Valley, then another one in like 2007 and then when he bought Brian's trailer in late 2009

His tin foil was wrapped tight, but it actually was efficient. I mean...he didn't leave any doors unopened. And it wasn't that he thought the gov was targeting HIM per say.....he just didn't want to offer UP anything on a platter like SOME of us do so willingly (telephone/address & CC# linked to FB )

The worst thing was, the guy was a bar certified lawyer, so he obviously wasn't stupid, just mentally disturbed. Refused to work as a lawyer though, lol. Too many screwed rattled loose.

He was also a religious nutjob, dunno if he still is or not. I think he got in with Jehova Witnesses. I remember when he used to go on and on about sin and the 'choice' to be gay or not.

Forgot that he was a lawyer. Some people just can't deal with pressure.

i remember once he "came back" under a different name (forgot what it was) ......Denied it was him......Until lo and behold, he started posting about the same part of the country (Western VA), and posted a "wanted" thread for the same type of gear that BG had been looking for
ZeroNetGain if I recall correctly.
