You know you want to. Come on. Well, like I said at the beginning, it's tricky because who wants to say that they're the creator of this?
Greg, listen. He's saying you can continue using MobMan. You can have multiple people saying the same name.

Other Call of Duty users can use it too. That's not a copyrighted name. But he's asking you to stop claiming that you're the creator of Sub7. Exactly.

Well, I mean, personally, I don't like you telling me that you did something that you didn't do. That looks bad for me and my show and my credibility. Exactly.

It's a long-running con, man. And the reason why I believed it is because of that damn Rolling Stone article saying that you were...

Okay. Our conversation began getting circular, and we started talking over each other at that point, and so I ended the call. But I think we got a half-assed confession out of Greg, didn't we? He said he'd stop saying he's the author of Sub 7 and we'll let it go. It was hard to hear that, but he did say that. So I think that's the best I'm going to get from him, and I'll have to take that.

Oh, and I looked up Greg's birthday on his arrest record, and it shows October 27th, not October 15th, like he said a moment ago. But honestly, I'm not too upset about this.

I remember once I was in a computer class and the teacher had his computer connected to a projector, which was projecting on the front of the class. And I sent a network message to his machine, which made a pop-up show for the whole class. It was epic for a teenager. And one thing I know about this culture is just how much hackers like to mess with the press.
