Summary

Underground Crime Forums explores the hidden world where cybercrime thrives: the dark web's criminal forums. These aren't just shadowy corners of the internet; they are active hubs where criminals collaborate, trade illegal goods, and plan offenses that increasingly impact the real world. The book argues that these forums serve as incubators for criminal innovation, challenging traditional notions of crime and demanding our urgent attention.

 
The book uncovers intriguing facts, such as how encryption and anonymity networks like Tor provide criminals with a safe haven. It also examines how these forums facilitate various illegal activities, from narcotics trafficking to stolen data markets. The book uniquely examines the social structures within these communities, revealing their internal cultures and hierarchies.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the dark web's architecture and then diving into specific types of criminal activities. Finally, the book analyzes the spillover effects of online planning into offline action, offering a comprehensive look at the challenges law enforcement faces.

 
By combining open-source intelligence, academic research, and insights from cybersecurity experts, the book paints a detailed and accessible picture of this evolving landscape of cybercrime.

    On the night of August 6, 1930, Joseph Force Crater, a newly appointed judge and prominent figure in many circles of Manhattan, hailed a taxi in the heart of Broadway and vanished into thin air. Despite a decades-long international manhunt led by the New York Police Department's esteemed Missing Persons Bureau, the reason for Crater's disappearance remains a confounding mystery. In the early months of the investigation, evidence implicated and imperiled New York's top officials, including then-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor Jimmy Walker, as well as the city's Tammany Hall political machine, lawyers and judges, and a theater mogul. 
 
 
 
Drawing on new sources, including NYPD case files and court records, and overlooked evidence discovered years later, Riegel pieces together the puzzle of what likely happened to Joseph Crater and why. To uncover the mystery, he delves into Crater's ascension into the scintillating and corrupt world of Manhattan in the Roaring Twenties and Jazz Age. In turn, the story of the judge's vanishing amid the Great Depression unfolds as a harbinger of the disappearance of his lost metropolis and its transformation into modern-day New York City.

    From 1926 to 1928, Gordon Stewart Northcott committed at least twenty murders on a chicken ranch outside of Los Angeles. His nephew, Sanford Clark, was held captive there from the age of thirteen to fifteen, and was the sole surviving victim of the killing spree. Here, acclaimed crime writer Anthony Flacco—using never-before-heard information from Sanford's son, Jerry Clark—tells the real story behind the case that riveted the nation.Forced by Northcott to take part in the murders, Sanford carried tremendous guilt all his life. Yet despite his youth and the trauma, he helped gain some justice for the dead and their families by testifying at Northcott's trial—which led to his conviction and execution. It was a shocking story, but perhaps the most shocking part of all is the extraordinarily ordinary life Clark went on to live as a decorated WWII vet, a devoted husband of fifty-five years, a loving father, and a productive citizen.In dramatizing one of the darkest cases in American crime, Flacco constructs a riveting psychological drama about how Sanford was able to detoxify himself from the evil he'd encountered, offering the ultimately redemptive story of one man's remarkable ability to survive a nightmare and emerge intact.

    Customers know Brown's Chicken for its crispy buttermilk fried chicken and flaky biscuits. The Illinois-based franchise has a reputation for delicious but simple comfort food. But through no fault of its own, the words "Brown's Chicken" are also synonymous with one fateful night in January of 1993."A Real Hometown" is the trite but apt motto of Palatine, Illinois, a quaint middle-class suburb west of Chicago. On a snowy Friday evening, the staff and owners of the city's local Brown's Chicken franchise were closing up when two final customers arrived just past 9pm. As the night drew on and the employees hadn't returned home, the families of the owners and workers began to worry, prompting police to investigate. When they entered the dark building, police were shocked to find seven bodies stacked in the restaurant's freezer and fridge. The killers, of course, were long gone. In the months that followed, the horrendous story rocked Chicagoland and the case remained unsolved for nine years.The Brown's Chicken massacre is one of the most infamous cases in Illinois history, yet it is often misremembered. In Something Big, Patrick Wohl gives a new account of the story, taking listeners behind the scenes and sharing the perspective of the people who lived it.

    Art forgeries are everywhere, in museums, exhibition halls, galleries. Why? Because forgeries are made with the complicity of the artists themselves (sometimes), through the collusion of the deceased artists' families (very often), and with the connivance of experts and gallery owners the world over (all the time). Eric Piedoie Le Tiec was a forger for 30 years and spent 10 years behind bars. In this extraordinary story of one of the main forgers of the last forty years, we discover the hidden world of the art market. Miró, Toulouse-Lautrec, Dufy, Chagall, Arman... and above all César, all the great masters pass through. The undisputed king of forgery created thousands of forgeries—of all the great masters—enriching many art dealers. “Everyone knew what we were doing, in Nice, Copenhagen, New York, Antwerp, Shanghai, but everyone kept quiet because there was a lot of money to be made.” The art racket finally exposed! Eric Piedoie Le Tiec, 63 years old, is today a gallery owner and art dealer in Grasse, on the French Riviera. 
This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
Explore the disturbing psychology that enables regular people to participate in atrocities, abuse, and crimes they would have considered unimaginable before circumstances aligned to make the unthinkable possible. This challenging audiobook examines how situational factors, authority structures, group dynamics, and incremental escalation transform ordinary individuals into perpetrators of extraordinary harm. Learn from historical analysis, psychological research, and criminal case studies how genocides, torture programs, and mass violence depend on regular people following orders, conforming to groups, or gradually escalating across moral boundaries. The narrator reveals the specific conditions that predict when normal people will commit abnormal acts and why believing yourself immune to such conditions is itself a risk factor. Discover how perpetrators rationalize their actions during and after crimes through psychological mechanisms available to everyone including you. Understand why focusing on individual evil distracts from the systemic factors that reliably produce harmful behavior regardless of who fills available roles. This audiobook draws from Holocaust research, prison studies, and criminal psychology to illuminate the human capacity for cruelty that comfortable circumstances allow us to ignore. Learn what conditions prevented some individuals from participating in collective crimes and what factors strengthened resistance. Essential listening for anyone who wants honest understanding of human nature including its darkest possibilities and how ordinary life can transform into participation in evil.
