Confessions from sneaker Twitter

there was a meet-up and iwan was there too. wish i got him too.

A couple years after sneaker twitter died and I stopped running slots, I needed money. So I found my CSV with all of my slot profiles and ran all of them against a stripe checkout and made over 100K

i faked success

100% sure I wasn't the only one, but I was selling DC proxies from Google Cloud. Opened many accounts to get $300 credit for each one. Sold "premium" proxies for 100% profit.

Back in 2018/19 I would use stolen credit cards information from my cousin who would do bank fraud and call old and disabled people to phish/social engineer their card information and collect them and plug them in on multiple profiles on Cyber, Dragon and Ganesh and there was one particular drop where I got a 75 clip on shattered backboards 3.0

I had to take delivery on all 75 so I put the delivery address as a shawarma shop near my house and once they delivered I paid a uni student 5k in cash to pick them and deliver them to a car park that I was in - he ended up getting caught by police and all 75 pairs were…

I once deleted the whole license key database for my bots users right before a drop. I didn’t have a backup, so I changed the logic of authentication to just check the length of the license key and if it had the correct characters and if those matched it would add the key to the database. 4 months later I found a backup of the old database somewhere and matched it up and found that nobody figured out that this happened and only real keys were used. People could have made a bag on bot broker if they found out 🤣

Have been selling webshare ISPs as premium isp proxies for many years and nobody has noticed

I used to go to target to pickup 15-20 ps5s and if I could tell the worker was chopped/poor I would offer $20 per pickup if she looked the other way. Worked for 3 months then got banned by the regional manager from every target within 2 hours.

Living 15 minutes away from a Nike and Adidas outlet was literally a money printer.

It was even better being able to take advantage of the minimum wage employees, sometimes all it took was a $50 tip for access to their employee account.

I got in the pocket of an Adidas store manager who would solely send stuff from the warehouse that was extremely discounted, have it marked with my name, and kept in the back of the store for me to purchase only.

On top of that, he gave me access to his employee account, which took 50% off of anything. Even already discounted items during their 50% off sale.

I was buying…

Signed up to jevi’s/hyper’s/solar’s you name it.

Resold it for 500% markup, they never realised as I’m very good friends with them (still am). However, I am reformed now.

Ez side hussle.

At the height of sneaker reselling. I decided to invite every tier 1 bot developer to a “hackathon” conference in Germany under the guise of giving away £50,000 to the winner of the competition.

Was able to get all of the top developers from all 4 corners of the world in one room together. Once I had them right where I wanted them, we then got right down to business and made love all night. Bot devs slipping in and out of the pile. You wouldn’t know if you were deep in CyberAIO or if Cyber was deep in you.

Amazing times…miss those guys.

I used to run a pretty notable bot company (no longer in business)

Me and other bot owners (that are still well and active today) used to sell eachother and work together on bot modules. We used to purposefully degrade modules on different releases so consumers would own all of our bots.

Dumbed down:

Release 1 Bot A - majority checkouts Bot B - some checkouts Bot C - flops

Users of Bot C buy Bot’s A & B

Release 2 Bot A - flops Bot B - majority checkouts Bot C - some checkouts

and so on and so fourth, we figured botters would buy anything so why not buy all of our bots. Most bot companies today still do this.

Looking back this was absolutely insane. I saw people selling “half off Amazon” cards. Turns out they were just stolen accounts with millions of Hilton Honors rewards points. Either way, I didn’t care. I found ways to get these stolen accounts for dirt cheap, and didn’t hesitate for a second. I spent 20 grand on MacBooks, AirPods, iPads, you name it. I burned addresses, received multiple letters, and countless emails for the rest of the YEAR from the victims.

Profit margins were fucking massive. I sold them on eBay at a 10% markdown and raked in 15k in gross profit in 2 weeks. I would brag constantly on…

Owners of a bot that stole my code paid a guy to doxx me. For some reason, this same guy changed his mind, and DMd me to warn me. So we doxxed and threatened them back. This guy became a staff for my bot and is still one of my best friends to this day

Confirmed from multiple reputable sources that some bot owners we're stealing proxy subnets from their running members through their own master webhooks and running/abusing them with some of the top people in the sneaker space who were running 100+ copies of the bots.

I got tickets to access the nike employee store where everything was 40% off. Me and a buddy grabbed pairs to resell but when we realized these where not gonna sell we returned them through the mail. A week later Nike gave us the full retail price as refund.. not the discount price we paid so we were making 40% on every shoe we bought. Made like $3000 before they patched this. Reason this worked was because at checkout it showed full retail price but discount was applied separately so Nike saw it as if we paid full retail price.

I was queuing for the London Drop for Strangelove SB Dunks, were going for £2000 at the time a pair. It was a one day drop with in-store sign up. I took my family early in the morning, signed up around 8 people. Then walked back out of the store, the queue was probably about 300 people deep, so then I called police and said there was a guy threatening to stab people if they didn’t let him jump the queue. Police turned up, shut down the queuing and the sign up and then end closed the raffle when they closed the store. Got email notifications saying I won 7 out of 8 entries and 20 overall pairs. Picked up the…

back when yeezys were doing EU exclusives, i found an italian retailer that shipped to the US with an entirely custom checkout flow and no order/card/address limit.

there was 0 competition and i was able to check out 24 pairs, all manually. they shipped in 2 batches but did not inform me/give me tracking for 2 boxes. when the first came, there were only 8 pairs - i reached out, they said the second was coming, i didn't believe them so i started a chargeback claim which i won. the other 12 came something like 2 days later and they were begging me to reverse the chargeback. me, being a jackass, decided to…
