Stephen Kelly · 1 year agoThe blackmailer didn't state what currency he wanted to be paid in - as he was making it simple and easy - agree to pay him in zimbabwe dollars :)

gregorylent · 1 year agoso, ace reporter, tell me how the gmail account was hacked, since i would guess about 80% of your readers have one, and a bit more from godaddy please ... when can i expect a follow up story? ... are you on it? or is this just a drive-by? inquisitr minds want to know ...
