I'll tell you all a story about Mr Floate.
About 3 weeks before he was arrested I noticed the twitter handle @GodofSEO was not used, me and charles had a bit of history previously (he stole content ideas from me), but I saw this as a good opportunity to parody him and registered it.
Within 48 hours he found out, he knew it was me (I offered to sell it him) but he just got annoyed and had a mongish rage attack. It only really got interesting when he was arrested.
I am 100% convinced I broke the story, I was up late on night, checked the BBC website and saw they arrested a 19 year old from solihull for hacking the government, but also child porn. I tweeted it thinking it was a joke, turned out it was actually him. I knew where he was from and I knew he made claims of being interviewed about hacking websites before, it made sense.
6 hours later I am getting phone calls from some birmingham hood rat threatening to delete the twitter account or he will burn down my parents home. Nice right? He knew the address, he knew my dads name but they got my mothers name wrong... I thought that's interested and they worried me enough to have someone watch over their house for a week.
But I told the twat to go fuck himself and carried on.
Since then, he has totally rebranded himself and life goes on. But don't for a minute think that charles is just a kid that made a mistake, the lad is a complete grade A cunt of the highest possible order. He deserves nothing in life, nothing.
He's the only person I've come across where if he was made homeless and lived in a bin, that would be too good for him. Fuck him.
Edit: Of course Charles is not the only live at home IM "millionaire", there are others like CEOSam and more... but the difference is they are relatively harmless. They might push some shitty product on you every now and then for us to laugh at, but they would not threaten harm on someone or steal from them... or download mother and son incest porn.
Charles has a history of stealing, lying, criminal hacking charges and fuck knows what else. He belongs in the gutter. CEOSam might wake up one day and realise he's been a fool, I think charles will just get worse and end up inside for a long time.
