It’s crazy how his whole life was uncovered off a single email, really makes you think about how much of our info is out there online and we don’t even know
-
3:57 "Items or data related to child abuse is strictly prohibited" Professionals have standards
-
Netflix would easily made 3-4 1h long episodes and you covered brilliantly under 19 minutes. Well written documentary keep it up 👍
-
Fern is probably the single most underrated documentary channel on youtube.
-
People really tend to focus on the graphics/animations on these videos. I just want to point out, this is incredibly well written. No amount of pretty graphics can make up for a bad story, and this is so well told I would have listened to it with no graphics at all.
-
that one guy that gave the email to the DEA might as well have been the main character we didnt knew existed
-
This feels illegal to watch
-
i never comment on videos, but your video is especially underrated no matter it having plenty of views… the writing, production, animation and work put into this is extremely impressive. good work and keep going! i had to leave a comment, a like and a subscription for this exceptional content :)
-
Absolutely insane production quality. Cant believe this is the first time im stumbling upon your content
-
This video is incredible. Precise. Direct to the point. Amazing animation and graphics. No boring background talk. Didn't even notice that was almost 20 minutes. Keep up the good work!
-
I love the graphics but the way you tell this is so interesting and just keeps you glued in. I usually listen to such videos while getting ready for work in the morning but I won’t be able to wait for tomorrow morning.
-
I can’t believe that’s how they caught Cazes. Created a small diversion to get him out of his house and off his computer. They really lucked out with that one
-
Listen I’m no world class detective but it’s pretty obvious that the person who snitched on him was desnake.
-
It's always so funny how hackers and bad dark web operators always get caught at single bad mistake....it's like when you try to do something illegal you literally have to assume new identity from the start and shouldn't trust anybody with something personal either...you have to become a ghost...
-
Imagine if the authorities put as much effort into catching on line child predators as they do dark web king pins.... People of the world need to rise up against so called justice systems
-
Fantastic video. I don’t know how long it takes to do something like that, but it was visually stunning and narrated with intrigue. Appreciated it!
-
My thought is that now Desnake after learning from Alphas mistakes can actually go undetected for as long as he wants.
-
Hey mate, that's the first video i watched in your channel. Definitely won't be the last one, immaculate editing, production, narrating and content! Keep up the good work :)
-
I watch usually 1 or 2 of your videos a week, but i listen to each video throughout the week idk if thats weird, definitely love how well written your videos are
