To those who are asking "how the hell could Chris fall for this?"
People fall for scams like this all the time. Good people, with way less problems than Chris does, falling for scams even
less credible. People who do this shit, like Joshua Wise, are fucking predators. They excel at finding vulnerable people, finding their weaknesses, seizing on their vulnerabilities, and then exploiting those with ruthless efficiency. If it hadn't been for Chris contacting
@Null about this, chances are he would have caused much more damage and for far longer.
Take a good long look at their plan of attack, and one thing that
immediately jumps out at you is that these despicable blights on the escutcheon of humanity were
actively trying to secure additional blackmail material to solidify their control over Chris. I don't care how much you hate Chris - that is the work of a fucking psychopath and it deserves nothing but the contempt of everyone on this forum.
I will tell you now: Odds are good that no meaningful consequences will be had from anyone but us: Not from law enforcement, not from the blogosphere that likes to feign care for Chris to blame all his woes on us, and sure as shit not for many of Chris' self-proclaimed friends. But that doesn't mean it's all bad news.
What we can do is what we
always do in this situation: write down everything and ensure from now until the end of human existence, Wise and Boyd's names are forevermore associated with this disgusting act. We memorialize it on Lolcow Wiki, the Cwcki, and these forums, and we make sure that these shitheads have this on their records until the bitter end.
They wanted to be a part of Christory? Let them suffer the consequences of that decision.
