30 Sep 2022

Little did everyone know that he spent his nights working as an internet hacker for a modern Mafioso who he met through his older cousin, Peter." "Steve didn’t need much sleep, which was a good thing. He slept maybe two hours a night, and spent the rest of his time stealing identities,wiring funds, and making more money than both his parents combined. He told himself he was saving for college, but the thrill of his secret life of crime was steadily eroding his interest in an Ivy League education." - Nano Prep Workbook Did that pique your interest?
