What's happening people? Welcome back to the show. My guest today is Brett Johnson. He's referred

to by the United States Secret Service as the original Internet Godfather. He was the founder and

leader of Counterfeit Library and Shadow Crew and has been a central figure in the cybercrime world

for almost 20 years. Brett has been a lifelong criminal. He was committing crimes from inside

the Secret Service's own offices. Then after being sent to prison, he escaped from prison and

went on the run to Disneyland all while defrauding millions. This story is one of the wildest things

that I've ever heard. Expect to learn what it feels like to be on the FBI's most wanted list.

What actually happened with the Solar Winds hack, how Brett was involved in the origins of the

darknet, his thoughts on Russell Brick and Silk Road, the closest calls Brett had to be

killed, how he evaded capture for so long, whether he thinks Julian Assange is a criminal or a hero,

and much more. This guy is like something out of a comic book or a movie. He's a complete

force of nature and this story is absolutely insane. Sit back and enjoy. In other news, this

episode is brought to you by Woop. If you've been thinking that you need to get a fitness tracker

to help you work out how many calories you're burning, how you're workouts are going,

what your sleep quality is like and how long you've been asleep, plus what your recovery

is telling you to do with your training. This is the one to get. It's more than just a tracker.

It's a digital coach that helps you to understand not just what you've done but what you need to do

as well. It's no point in capturing data if you doesn't inform the way that you show up the next

day when you're training, when you're recovering, when you're going to sleep, and Woop has the

proven ability to drive positive behavioral change through gentle nudges in the Woop mobile app,

urging you to sleep more or take on more strain, Woop has seen members dramatically improve their
