Head of Pranknet identified

During the weeks that TSG monitored the chat room (for a total of about 150 hours), the largest audience at any one time barely topped 200 listeners.

LOL. Until TSG ran this article, that is. I'd never heard of these people before.
 
Never heard of it, but the guy sounds like a world-class shit head in the article. Just a typical internet suerphero, acting like a tough guy online, but a little pussy when confronted IRL. Like pretty much every /b/tard.
 
I agree. I have never heard of this. Also, the writing on TSG article is really bad. You ever have a friend or coworker who tries too hard to sound smart?
 
The article gets a lot more interesting from page 2, giving details of several Pranknet hoaxers. There are some messed up people in that group, but nothing I wouldn't expect from sites like Pranknet.
 
On July 21, a pair of TSG reporters approached "Dex"'s building at 1637 Assumption Street in Windsor, where he lives in the ground-floor 'B' apartment. Calling to his mother, who was standing near an open living room window, a reporter asked her to summon her son. The woman disappeared into "Dex"'s adjoining bedroom, where the pair could be heard whispering. Despite repeated requests to come out and speak with TSG, "Dex" hid with his mother in his bedroom, the windows of which were covered with plastic shopping bags, a towel, and one black trash bag.

As the sun set and his room darkened, "Dex" did not reach to turn on a light. The notorious Internet Tough Guy, who has gleefully used the telephone to cause all kinds of havoc, was now himself panicking. He had been found. And, as a result, was barricaded in Pranknet World Headquarters with his mom, while two reporters loitered outside his window and curious neighbors wondered what was up.

Haha he's like the stereotypic internet tough guy... He fits the stereotype too well. 🙂
 
On a recently deleted MySpace page, Markle (whose full name is James Tyler Markle) listed his body type as "6' 6" / Athletic," though that is an exaggeration, according to one source. He plays on a recreational softball team, dresses like a goth, and loves the "Twilight" series of books (his Twitter account, "3DW4RD_B3LL4," is an alphanumeric tribute to the vampire saga's main characters).

:laugh:
 
Hadn't heard of this group, but one of the most thourough investigative unveilings I've ever seen. :Q

My guess is this dude is going to be extradited to the US to face domestic terrorism charges. That might be a stretch, but something to hope for. 🙂

Anyone seen this covered on other media sites yet?

This, although after reading the whole thing, I have to shake my head at the stupidity of some of the victims.

Page 2 is a good read.
 
If there is anybody who will be munching on cock meat sandwiches in prison its going to be these guys!

I hope the are hungry

They're like giant bristly caterpillars.

Oh, and there was a notice at work the other day about prank calls telling people to fuck with the Axiom. The notice said not to, obviously.
