How many of those accomplishments were truly his, I wonder ? https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/109561314682149814

The only thing the link contains is a bunch of people claiming that his achievements were built on other people's.

Yet not even a single a achievement is mentioned by name, nor any specific detail is given.

It's evidence for nothing.

The next message in the thread gives specifics about the PS3 crack referenced in the parent:

> Disclaimer: I have personal experience with him when he took the PS3 ECDSA fail research I and the other fail0verflow folks presented at CCC, and a couple weeks later released the PS3 metldr keys obtained using our method, with zero credit or reference to us. Then Sony sued us all because they assumed we were working with him, even though we'd been careful not to actually release any crypto keys precisely to avoid giving the lawyers excuses to sue us.

> So yes, I was named as a defendant on a lawsuit with him, thanks to his antics. That wasn't a fun few months.

A great thread to show how Mastodon is no better than Twitter. Really obnoxious and toxic and not something I want to be near.
