Going through google's archives I found this.

He got jipped

 

He's still doing very well for himself from what I hear.

 

welcome to two years ago when Iphone 2G just appeared, young master!

 

I find it amazing how a 17 year old can find a way to hack a phone the way he did at just 17 years old! I'm not sure why some guy would give him a 350z for a hacked iphone when it was first hacked because there wasn't much apps or anything when it was first hacked. I'm sure he is still doing fine I know I hack my Iphone with his program called blackra1n, used to be called purplera1n. Now he takes donations and when the new hack came out for the 3.0 OS he had over 250 million hits on his site even before the hack was released! He also doesn't charge people money for his product and most places charge 25-100 bucks to unlock your phone, his program does it for you in 30 seconds for free! I'm sure people respect that and donate to him so he keeps doing what he does.

 

keep running

 

He also recently was the first person to crack the PS3... people dont think he is going to exploit backups do to his kind nature and moral of how it would ruin PS3 and stuff.

 

Yeah I don't think the ps3 hack is done yet I'm not sure what he is hacking it for is it for people to cheat in the games or to get the full use from the ps3??

 

He pretty much dumped the code (the supposably unpenatrable part)... but i didagree with the cheating part... I think he more interested in homebrew/linux and stuff.... he seems to not be into the cheat and steal scene but moreless freedom with what you paid for.

 

Old repost.
