Me: Hello!
Andy - Sly: Hi
Me: How long have you been in the business of recovering accounts?
Andy - Sly: On and off about a year, but stopped for a long time until free trade
Me: Oh, hmm. How did you come up with the idea to recover Chessy018?
Andy - Sly: It started as a joke between me and a friend and then we started to gather information and actually decided to go for it, Plus the amount of money on the account was unreal.
Me: Nice. For how long did you research Chessy018?
Andy - Sly: Most of the information was done in a few days, It was relatively easy seeing as she exposed herself alot.
Me: Yea, a lot of videos and articles on her. Were you the only person in this project or were others included?
Andy - Sly: Others were included, Jaems & Chainsaw.
Me: Oh. What (non-specific please) methods of research did you use?
Andy - Sly: The internet. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
Me: How many attempts did you make at recovering Chessy018 before the one which was actually accepted?
Andy - Sly: 5 previous attempts
Me: Could you provide a summary progression of what the deny reasons were throughout the appeals?
Andy - Sly: Mostly all was previous passwords & nothing
Me: Oh. What was going through your mind (and your friends') when you first logged into Chessy018?
Andy - Sly: Fairly shocked that I managed it and worried as there was a 3 day bank pin, And my friends were pretty pissed the account got locked before their share.
Me: I would be completely blown away. You waited 72 hours for the bank pin to be removed, correct?
Andy - Sly: Correct
Me: Once the bank pin was removed, what was your immediate plan of action?
Andy - Sly: I streamed it to a few friends as I opened and we was instantly ready to xfer.
Me: Oh. What actually happened once the bank pin was removed?
Andy - Sly: We transferred most of it, leaving the account with some cash aswell and then JaGeX jumped into action as they rightfully should and multiple accounts was locked, even accounts that hadn't done anything was locked and all accounts linked to that IP was also locked.
Me: For about how long did you have possession of Chessy018 after the bank pin was removed?
Andy - Sly: An hour or so, I left the account as soon as most of the bank was gone.
Me: Oh. You guys must had transferred everything off very fast. Once Chessy018 was locked, how long did it take for Jagex to begin locking/banning?
Andy - Sly: Someone in chessy's cc somehow knew my RSN & it spreaded like wildfire and people made forum posts so everyone that had contact with chessy that day got locked. And this only took a matter of hours
Me: Snap. As of now (March 19th, 2011) what is your overall wealth [from Chessy018]?
Andy - Sly: Personally none as I've left my accounts for a while and I'm waiting for a response from JaGeX as they'll definately contact me but friends have gotten away with some of the cash, But the amount, I will not release, sorry.
Me: Completely understood. Must be a lot anyhow. Would it be safe to say it's over a couple billions?
Andy - Sly: Yes.
Me: Do you believe Jagex will pursue legal action?
Andy - Sly: The only thing they can prosecute me for is "Unauthorized Access" but then even they granted me access to the account when I recovered it so it wasn't unauthorized. Also they need to think how their case would stand in a court, It would pretty much be a waste of time.
I do hope this opens their eyes though on how serious they should take account security.
Me: I agree. They, Jagex themselves, gave you access to the account. You didn't keylog, whale, or phish Chessy018. Wouldn't really stand up too good in court. You released 5 screenshots of Chessy018. Bank, items kept on death, trade window, GE, and you on the account. Are there any other screenshots you, or your friends, have?
Andy - Sly: Yes, but i'm not releasing them as of yet.
Me: Understood. I completely believe you are Sly, as I found your e-mail via one of your posts, but future readers won't have any ways of verification. Could you, please, release one or possibly two to me? If I may say, I have digged up many old TipIt posts from pre-2003 which describe amazing bugs, ect. All of the images are as "Posted Image" - AKA forever lost.
Andy - Sly: I'll send you an unreleased picture.
Me: Would you like to provide a censored screenshot of your current overall wealth?
Andy - Sly: My personal wealth is nothing, I've abandoned my accounts as of now as JaGeX wants to investigate them which is what they will be doing.
Me: Any other unreleased screenshots that you would like to release?
Andy - Sly: No, But i'd like to have my say about the "Hacking". As some of you may see it as a "Hacking", It was recovered. A feature in JaGeX's system which allows you to recover an account which you have information for. I was granted access to the account when JaGeX accepted the request and therefore none of this was unauthorized.
Me: Correct. Hence why I used quotation marks. Anything else you would like to say?
Andy - Sly: If Mod Mark or any other member of JaGeX wish to contact me to ask questions on any kind of flaws in their recovery systems i'll be willing to help them if they'd accept my help. They can contact me via my private e-mail which was linked to my accounts.
Me: Alright. Thank you for allowing me to interview you, Andy. This has finalized the interview.
Andy - Sly: No problem Tom. A lot of people I know have also been wrongly locked down to me which is unfair in my opinion. They've had nothing to do with it and gained nothing from this and the only accounts that should be locked are mine.

Häääletage esimese võimaluse või kolmanda poolt!!!! [spoiler=Võimalused]Okay im giving the forum 3 simple options, all are based around the dump section and all this spam thats going on... Please vote and then post what option you would like and why. Thank you. Option 1: Remove the needed posts to view the dump section, this is because we are a pretty small forum with not many members online at a time, meaning leeching will be low. With doing that i will also remove the "post to view" mod and replace it with the "thanks to view" mod, this will make it so we don't get heaps of junk posts in a thread but instead the thread creator will get thanked for their dump and they will also be able to see who has thanked to take it. So all in all, yes more members will get access to the dump section, but at least we can see how takes the dumps and we also get more credits and thanks for the dumps. Option 2: We make the dump section donator only, meaning only members who donate will get access to these dump sections, this will mean yes probably less people dumping but it will also mean less people accessing the dumps. Option 3: Keep everything as it is, letting members spam the forum and leech(:
