How long were you locked up in the clink for? Did you get any access to computers there? How did your time there affect you or change how you think? Thanks for sharing
I served 60 months of the 70 month sentence. I had a computer restriction, so I couldn't be around a computer.
Since I wasn't able to use computers or the Internet for that time, I did/read/learned a lot of things I wouldn't have otherwise learned. Learned how to make hooch (prison wine), how the law works and how to maneuver the court system (useful for both civil and criminal cases), got more fluent in French by speaking with some native French speakers from Benin, learned how to work out & lift weights (which I still do), and learned the value of freedom.
Thanks for the reply, I see you are quite the legend and am all caught up now.
Are you still coding these days? Does AI instill any new sense of awe and wonder or a new found passion for coding/computers? Hope you are in a better place now. Cheers.
How do you see AI playing out there? Are you glad you got out before AI coding became a thing? What are you up to in your retirement years, anything fun? Thanks.
I wouldn’t be surprised if someone wrote a script to pull all the sensitive PII and it’s already on the dark net hacking forums for identity thieves. Freeze your credit at all bureaus if you ever used this site.
My Experian score once took a substantial hit, dropping from ~800 to ~700 or something like that. Didn’t change elsewhere. I applied for the report and realized a quite significant debt appeared on my report, and it wasn’t even in my name! It was under someone else’s name that bore zero similarity to mine, or anyone in my family. Reported to Experian and it got fixed after a week or two. Zero explanation for how it happened. These credit reporting agencies are a joke.
