In 2014, the Puerto Rican lottery was mysteriously losing money. Yet, a complete audit of the drawing and the accounting showed no issues. That's when one penetration tester got the green light to go deep, and uncover a scam so dangerous, he had to leave the island.

    Something I think goes somewhat unnoticed on this channel is the artwork. Seriously love the stories man, I'm addicted, but damn the artwork is always super cool too.

    30:26 Him getting a full immunity card sounds cool, but also very scary.

    How do you do it Jack? How is your timing so impeccable? I worked all night, clocked out at 4:45 am, loaded up a video to watch after work while i unwind and eat and the first one to pop up is a new Darknet Diaries! Thanks buddy! Love the show

    "The cartel" made me laugh so hard my neighbor had to ask what was going on. That was an inside job and politicians were involved.

    The Puerto Rico Lottery (Lotería de Puerto Rico) was first authorized in 1814 by the King of Spain and was put into law in 1934.[1] It is operated by the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury

    Another great episode, Jack. I love how you describe it so that a normal person can understand what you’re saying because a lot of people obviously are not network engineers but the way that you narrate the video is perfect.

    If you were doing something you didnt want your dad to see you shouldnt be doing it in the first place! ....but weve all been there lol.
  • I found your channel about a week ago and I LOVE it! Although I do watch a few channels which cover mysteries and investigations, this still felt very random when it just came up as the next video on the autoplay. Terrific presentation and really natural interviews that don't feel coldly clinical. I like the little touch of life in your background and the touch of melody just keeps our focus centred. Even though I am sitting listening to this from the comfort of my own home, the feeling I get late night radio with a voice guiding me home. A really well-crafted format and the thumbnails are so effective and evocative.
