That's my point, exactly. A VPN will get you caught. With a VPN, your data is not encrypted between your ISP and your VPN. IE: The VPN provider knows exactly who you are and if you think your VPN provider is going to fight the authorities on your behalf, then I've got a bridge in New York I can sell you.

'Fappening' Hacker Who Stole Celebrity Nudes Gets 18 Months in Prison Oct. 27, 2016

Ryan Collins, the Pennsylvania man who pleaded guilty to a felony
hacking chargeearlier this year in connection with the 2014 celebrity
nude photo leak known as "The Fappening," has been sentenced to 18
months in federal prison, authorities announced on Thursday.

According to prosecutors, the now 36-year-old Pennsylvania man used a
phishing scheme to obtain the login credentials of "at least 50 iCloud
accounts and 72 Gmail accounts, most of which belonged to female
celebrities" over a period of almost two years.

"He sent e-mails to victims that appeared to be from Apple or Google
and asked victims to provide their usernames and passwords," said the
Justice Department in a statement.

"After illegally accessing the e-mail accounts, Collins obtained personal information including nude photographs and videos. In some instances, Collins would use a software program to download the entire contents of the victims' Apple iCloud backups."

Officials say Collins ran the phishing scheme from November 2012
until September 2014, when nude photographs of female celebrities
including Jennifer Lawrence, Avril Lavigne and Kate Upton were leaked
online in an event known as “Celebgate” or “The Fappening.”

Interestingly, investigators said they found no evidence Collins himself leaked the photos.

Collins faced up to five years in prison, but as part of his plea deal,
prosecutors recommended he be sentenced to only 18 months.

He is a "degenerate" for what he did, so North Korea won't take him. And he is a convicted felon so its going to be hard as fuck to immigrate to Russia.

Well, I didn't know that or look it up -- but you might be right. What options does he have left, living in the Republic of Kenya with a (un)discovered tribe?
