RE : "Not like you can keep where you live secret from everyone, at least if you want to receive money from your sponsors"

Oh it is possible, but it takes a hell of a lot of work. Even if I was dishonest enough to do it I could make more money for the same amount of work in honest businesses, so would not bother.

Used to be I thought that people who did this sort of thing were people who were too stupid to make a living honestly, but then I realized that you needed to be more clever to be a successful crook than a successful honest man, so this theory did not hold water.

A short while ago there was a program on (non-internet) crooks and conmen, and the interviews led you to believe that although the money was nice, the main reason they did this was the thrill of "getting one over on other people". I guess that is the same thing with A******s like this, a sort of "hacker mentality" overriding his "business sense".
