Hot Take:

Looks like someone’s been binge-watching too much Mr. Robot and thought, "Hey, let's make this a reality!" Except instead of fighting 'the man', they became 'the man' with a Ferrari and a botnet empire. Yunhe Wan's alleged cyber shenanigans could make for a blockbuster movie, but the only popcorn here is the one used by FBI agents as they watched his digital house of cards collapse. Who knew VPN ads could lead to luxury cars and a potential 65-year 'vacation' behind bars?
