I don't believe the story that Portabella shared about her father killing a south American cartel leader, 41 years accountant. It doesn't make any sense, for a number of reasons, I'll start with the logistical ones. I think this is her own, invented lie and not one her father told her because to me it sounds like a child's lie. No one becomes wealthy in a vacuum. The idea that there could be a cartel leader that no one (except 1 other guy!) knows about is pretty absurd. Isn't that exactly what every cartel leader would want, complete anonymity? Why do you think it's so hard for these people to maintain their anonymity after they get big?
Normal house with 10 stories of basement under it? What's one guy going to do in all that space for 4 hours that's helping move the business along? No one's stopping by and picking up or dropping off massive deliveries? Is he cooking up drugs down there or just moving drugs from one floor to another? If he's manufacturing drugs in all that space then someone would have to come by to pick up those loads regularly, if he's running a cartel then they'll be moving metric tons every single week. You'd need something like an airstrip, a sea port, a railroad, a ton of large diesel trucks, etc. It's about getting shit from point A to point B. There is no cartel without global transportation.
If he's just making calls to have something picked up/dropped off in other countries then why does he need a ten story basement to do it? Maybe it was just a really big basement and Portabella was exaggerating when she said 10 stories?
If you've ever owned a business then you know it's actually the business that owns you. Dude's running a massive, illegal, international enterprise while only putting in 4 hours of work per week? lolno.. gtfo, lol.
You know what I'd give serious thought to trying if I was the one and only person that knew the identity of this anonymous cartel leader? I'd probably try to kill them so I could "become" them. Right? If you just killed the leader of a cartel that somehow, amazingly, no one else knew the identity of, except for you, then why wouldn't you immediately step in and just take their place? No one would be able to say it wasn't you the entire time. So if you were the anonymous cartel leader and someone learned your identity then you really couldn't let them live, they might try to "become" you later at some point, or they could tell other people your secret, etc. What's stopping your drug mules from just taking the kilos for themselves and retiring early? The whole thing only works if there's enough fear of the leadership to discourage betrayal. Multiple people not only have to know who you are but also need to be terrified enough of you that they don't try to take over what you've built.
Why would glow-dad be watching an accountant for weeks on end so that he just happens to notice he spends 4 hours in his basement on the weekends? I really think long term surveillance like that would be someone else's job and they'd just send in glow-dad once they knew who needed the early retirement package.
Not to say this story of her's is impossible, absurd as it might be it still could've happened. Truth is often stranger than fiction. It just... sounds like complete horseshit to me.
I also strongly doubt that glow-dad had any part of the DDOS attack on the site. You can rag on him for his hair plugs and his HRT and everything but this is a pretty serious dude. You really think Mike Janke is the type that flexes through a DDOS attack? I strongly doubt it. It wouldn't do anything for him like it would for some kid or tranny. A kid or tranny knocks out a webpage for a week, they feel powerful, they feel like they're a big deal. It feels good to them because they don't normally make decisions that affect large numbers of people, because they aren't powerful people. Seriously now, what do you think someone like glow-dad does to feel powerful? Why would someone like glow-dad ever waste their time with such a thing? "Buying more time"? I think he's probably more pragmatic than that.
