True Crime Law

Simon McCoy smuggled cocaine for longer than Pablo Escobar. An outlaw more than a criminal, he never handled a gun nor dealt with those who did. Finding My Mojo is the first audiobook in the To Live Outside the Law series of nonfiction crime trilogies--an adventure that ran from the 1980s to the 2000s. Up until this point, Simon had gotten by through sheer balls and good luck. This true crime book marks the place where he decides to up his game. Simon has a method that works consistently and with reliable contacts (to a degree).

The stories and the people involved in the history of murder are stranger, darker and more compulsive than any crime fiction. There’s Richard Parker, the cannibalized cabin boy whose death at the hands of his hungry crewmates led the Victorian courts to decisively outlaw a defence of necessity to murder. Dr Percy Bateman, the incompetent GP whose violent disregard for his patient changed the law on manslaughter. Ruth Ellis, the last woman hanged in England in the 1950s, played a crucial role in changes to the law around provocation in murder cases.

Parece muy sofisticado, pero no se engañen: la mafia es una fábula estúpida sin ningún glamour.

Ransomware attacks — the use of malicious software to deny users access to data and information systems to extort ransom payments from victims — are prevalent. A recent notable example is the May 2021 ransomware attack that temporarily shut down the Colonial Pipeline Company’s network, affecting gasoline availability and prices. This attack is but one of many; in 2020 alone, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) received nearly 2,500 ransomware complaints with losses exceeding $29 million.
