I get similar emails every now and then stating my laptop is hacked and demanding Bitcoin. They usually end up in my spam folder.

Always the same email but with a different Bitcoin # reference.

Today we recieved the following email to inform us that this website was hacked. It appears that this is a scam and we wil not pay the $25,000 demanded by them to unhack

Your Site Has Been Hacked

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO SOMEONE IN YOUR COMPANY WHO IS ALLOWED TO MAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS!

We have hacked your website http://jclist.com and extracted your databases.

What does this mean?

We will systematically go through a series of steps of totally damaging your reputation. First your database will be leaked or sold to the highest bidder which they will use with whatever their intentions are. Next if there are e-mails found they will be e-mailed that their information has been sold or leaked and your http://jclist.com was at fault thusly damaging your reputation and having angry customers/associates with whatever angry customers/associates do. Lastly any links that you have indexed in the search engines will be de-indexed based off of blackhat techniques that we used in the past to de-index our targets.

How do I stop this?

We are willing to refrain from destroying your site’s reputation for a small fee. The current fee is $2500 in bitcoins (BTC).

How do I get Bitcoins?

You can easily buy bitcoins via several websites or even offline from a Bitcoin-ATM.

What if I don’t pay?

If you decide not to pay, we will start the attack at the indicated date and uphold it until you do, there’s no counter measure to this, you will only end up wasting more money trying to find a solution. We will completely destroy your reputation amongst google and your customers.

This is not a hoax, do not reply to this email, don’t try to reason or negotiate, we will not read any replies. Once you have paid we will stop what we were doing and you will never hear from us again!

Please note that Bitcoin is anonymous and no one will find out that you have complied.

It's so nasty. They're dogs are pissing and shitting all over the human grass. Surprised the kids don't get worms.

If all goes according to schedule, a high-end cannabis dispensary will open next spring on a rowdy section of Christopher Columbus Drive downtown.

brosch, are you still getting messages from here? Please read the new post from me on the boy found in Pershing Park.

Well, to start with, Harold's twin brother is Raymond (Ray) Kopf, not Richard. Even the Times gets it wrong sometimes. Richard is their older brother.
Harold did not go to the park; he was dumped there. The perpetrator was a "friend" of the family. I don't know if the man was arrested and convicted...it was a horrible time for Ray, and he's a little hazy on some details. He does remember being told that the guy had a bad accident, and died from his injuries. Ray always believed there was more to it than just an accident, but the only person who could have told him the truth about that died years ago.
I don't have many more details, other than yes, Harold was molested and then beaten to death. Nothing about any body part being cut off, although I have to admit, they might not have shared that information with Ray...he was only 11 years old at the time. Ray really doesn't like talking about it, as you can imagine. Harold was his identical twin, and he still feels the loss. Even though he is now 54, I still won't share that bit of information with him. He doesn't need to hear anything new about the incident - proven or unproven - that would just make it worse for him. Thankfully, he's pretty much a technical troglodite, so he asks me to look things up for him online. I won't be showing him this thread, although I will let him know Harold has not been forgotten.

Here it comes...



State regulators on Wednesday approved double-digit rate increases for four gas providers serving millions of customers in the state, with prices expected to rise by hundreds of dollars on an annualized basis for some people.

PSEG, which serves 1.9 million people across the state, was granted a nearly 25% increase, which would amount to a $256.38 a year hike to the "typical" residential bill, according to the state Board of Public Utilities. BPU commissioners also approved a 15.8%, $258.72 annual increase for New Jersey Natural Gas and its 568,000 ratepayers.

I often wonder how much money the City of Jersey City can make if they did a sweep twice a week ticketing the folks who walk their dogs onto the Dog Free Lawns of Hamilton Park and double down on the folks who run their dogs off leash. I find it fascinating to watch ostensibly educated people walk right past the Dog Free Lawn signs with their dogs. It's like they're not the slightest bit thoughtful.

I have a property in New England that I am worrying a bit about. The New England power grid with coal and nuclear being phased out is almost completely dependent on natural gas. The pipeline capacity was never expanded to provide enough gas to keep the lights on during cold periods. Blackouts were only avoided by switching over to no. fuel oil (power plants are generally dual fuel) and getting emergency imports of liquefied natural gas from Russia.

Fuel oil stocks are dangerously low due to shipping so much of it to Europe. Russia? Well.. not sure if that LNG shipment will be arriving this season, given the current political situation.

I am looking into a backup generator and one of these to heat the place:



Never thought I would see a manufactured energy crisis like we had back when I was a kid. Odd / Even day policies coming back regulating when you can get gas for your car?

Donald Trump negotiated a deal between the Saudi's and Russia. We paid for that. Donald Trump will be going to jail before December. You're in a cult.

Quote:

No, perhaps Joe Biden should allow the XL Pipeline to be finished which will bring energy to the US. And Joe Biden should stop selling US energy to China from our reserves.

at least we won't be as bad as what is happening in the UK

Jared Kushner's father is building a huge high rise in Journal Square with the $2bb his son got from the Saudis. Perhaps the Kushner's should make some sort of contribution to energy resources in Jersey City, considering how much this building will tax our infrastructure. Quote:

The US is sitting on tons of fossil fuels but in the holy name of green energy, we, the public will be paying more to heat our homes. This is insane. It reminds me of California with their rolling backouts and the governor telling everyone they must buy an electric car but you cannot charge it due to the blackouts.

I checked. There is no legitimate evidence of any of your claims

The main question is: will Boulevard Drinks be allowed to remain?

(Looks like this major project is on again. Seems the “good” Kushner (lol) is now doing it)

Kushners look behind Loew’s theater for next Journal Square skyscrapers

London? Vegas? Los Angeles? No thanks, the Kushners say. We prefer Journal Square.

The New Jersey real-estate mogul family is continuing to lay out transformative plans to reshape the Jersey City neighborhood with skyscrapers.

This time, and for the first time ever, the skyscraping is headed to the western side of Kennedy Boulevard, behind the historic Loew’s Jersey Theatre. There, the KRE Group, the masterminds behind Journal Squared — the two towers (and a third under construction) that have made the neighborhood identifiable from miles away — plan to build two new towers, one 55 stories tall and the other at 49.

A lot more people died under Trump and his daughter was granted 18 trademarks from China within one month. His daughter and son in law Jared Kushner were paid like $610 million in consulting fees while working at the WH and getting paid salaries. Jared was paid $2BB from the Saudis and he was also given $6.4 MM in PPP loans, which were forgiven and Trump participated in an agreement between the Saudis and Russia to reduce oil production to benefit the Oil Companies.

That's what I'm talkin' about....

I counted 13 cops on the pedestrian way this afternoon. I tend to think 2 or e would be enuff.

Time savings, can’t beat 5 min walk to office.

But with Covid, remote working, and getting married with kid now. This no longer applies. I have moved to fort lee, bought a nice 2br2ba in highrise at 1/4 cost with cash, which is basically the down payment amount for a similar unit in jc, saves me a full mortgage payment.

Property tax is about 20-30% lower vs jc. In return I still get to stay close to city near civilization not in some boondocks middle of nowhere with deers running around, top 10% NJ schools from k to hs, so no need for private school, very safe area - no thugs coming on hblr on the weekends, and with tons better restaurants especially for Asians. Commute to nyc is longer but not bad, many direct bus to port authority, commute to jc is worse as need to transfer to hblr. But with working from home 4 days a week it doesn’t matter.

So short answer no damn reason to stay, I am out. Renting my 1br to some Facebook tech kid for 3k to cover this crazy tax and fees.

Why do I want to pay lot more money to be under 100 degree sun wasting the whole day picking apples like one of them abused migrant workers, when I can just walk into wholefood and pick some up for less than 10 bucks.

Despite all you accusations. Everything was less expensive with Trump! On the very day the fed raised interest rates nitwit in chief biden states he wishes he could hand out more money. Unreal!
