This is an episode where I interviewed a guy named Greg, who went by the name Mobman, who claimed to have made the Sub-7 malware back in the 90s. The episode haunts me because I have received numerous comments that listeners don't believe he's the guy who created Sub 7.

For instance, there's a Reddit post where someone said, I just started listening to Mob Man this afternoon and couldn't finish it. I just don't believe this guy made Sub 7 or could have created a rat at all. It's not just his attitude or personality. It just seems as if he only has a cursory knowledge of any of the technology used.

Multiple times throughout the interview, something he said just didn't quite make sense or didn't match up with what I remember from that time period. Then some other commenter said, I had the same impression too. And someone else said, he's fakey wakey. And then someone else said, I remember the creator was Romanian and that guy is not Romanian.

I fact-check my guests as best I can, but I do most of the research and writing for this show, and I can only check so much. Before publishing that episode, I spoke to some people who knew Greg personally from Tampa, where he's from, and they told me he's legit. On top of that, he was featured in a Rolling Stone magazine article saying he's the one who created Sub-7.
