That’s fucking WILD, I have never read about that.

It is insane that you can do that kind of a thing just sitting in front of a laptop with Tails now, though.

Yeah, it’s pretty crazy

They made a TV mini-series about it a few years ago. It’s called The Gold. If you’re in the UK, it’s on BBC iPlayer. If not, then there may be other means of acquiring it!
