Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times A forceful indictment of the United States government's surveillance and prosecution of computer hackers and journalists. Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Nick Schager Film Journal International A flashy portrait of rebel "hacktivists" and their anarchist accomplices that opts for superficial, unconvincing glorification over in-depth analysis. Oct 16, 2014 Full Review Diana Clarke Village Voice As one journalist tells Weisman, "Information is the weapon." It's worthwhile to understand how it's being used. Oct 14, 2014 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Despite an unfortunate MTV aesthetic, this documentary puts a spotlight on government harassment of young men and women with nothing else on their mind except defending freedom.

C O M , They responded once and i gave them the necessary information that was required before they moved on with the recovery processes. to my great surprise they recovered all my investments back for me just within a few days, i couldnt be more thankful, If you have been a victim of crypto or binary scam you can contact this firm.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Aminat Deepak Took action by contacting VIRTUALHACKNET RECOVERY FIRM immediately I learnt that I had been scammed by a crypto trading website that I have been investing in for a while now but I never knew they were not legitimate until it got to the point of me withdrawing my profits and things went left . I was introduced to the company by my acquaintance on telegram , I got this message from an unknown user on the telegram app who claimed to be a broker and offered to help me invest part of my savings in crypto and other stocks which he claimed to be very profitable in recent time . We moved further to setting up an account on the website he introduced me to and then wired a few thousands to a crypto exchange called ROBINHOOD where I purchased USDT for my investment , I purchased USDT worth 37,000 at first and later bought another one worth 13,000 to complete my first investment of 50,000 . After the transfer gone through , I was told that my trading has been activated and that itll take 2 weeks for the trades to be completed and after that I can choose to withdraw both my investment and profits or choose to reinvest ,after the trading period ended I withdrew part of the investments just to be certain that the whole system works and after the withdrawal I referred most of my family members from back home in India and all of us ended up losing close to half a million dollars before one of my distant cousin who had invested as well brought the idea of working with a private hacker to recover what we had lost to the scam company and that was how we began the recovery process with VIRTUALHACKNET RECOVERY FIRM , the fun part was that the whole process took about a week and everyone was brought back to life financially . We were able to contact the team through email and telegram . Find details below . Email : VIRTUALHACKNET @ GMAILDOTCOM Telegram : Virtualhacknet . Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Vienna I once encountered the harrowing consequences of a cryptocurrency scam, which plunged me into a deep sense of despair. I can attest, from personal experience, that it is truly a nightmare. My investment, a substantial sum in Ethereum, was effectively held hostage by an online investment platform. I had anticipated significant returns however, I was oblivious to the impending distressing experience. As time progressed, my initial excitement morphed into anguish upon realizing that the platform I had trusted was nothing more than a cleverly devised scheme aimed at defrauding unsuspecting individuals passionate about the cryptocurrency market, leaving us feeling exposed, deceived, and hard to trust again. I discovered CYBERGENIEHACKPRO upon embarking on a money recovery journey, a team of experts specializing in asset recovery, dedicated to assisting victims in tracing and reclaiming their misappropriated funds. The process of recovering my lost Ethereum seemed daunting, as I had previously read that cryptocurrency transactions are untraceable and irretrievable. However, CYBERGENIEHACKPRO has proven this notion to be incorrect. Although the recovery process was intricate, I was elated to learn that my lost assets had been successfully retrieved. To anyone who may find themselves in a similar unfortunate situation, I strongly urge you to maintain hope and seek out CYBERGENIEHACKPRO through a Google search. I recommend contacting C Y B E R G E N I E (@) C Y B E R S E R V I C E S (.) C O M for valuable money recovery advice. Their private website can be found at https ://cyber-genie-hackpro. info/ . Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Mitchell Denise Few Months ago, i found myself caught up in excitement of cryptocurrency mining pool and its high returns. initially it was through an online platform, the company had an impressive website with good testimonies from other customers, i was convinced to invest without knowing that it was a fake crypto mining platform to defraud customers which i unknowingly failed for, the lost i took after getting involved with this platform almost ruined my life but Thanks to R O O T K I T S R E C O V E R Y F I R M for their help and professional service to ensure the swift recovery process of my investment with the platform. I was devastated after losing 425,000 worth of ethereum to the platform just within few months of growing my investment. they suddenly denied me the withdrawal of my funds just when i was due to withdraw, i tried reaching out to the customer service team but they became hard to reach. The story kept changing: first, it was a server issue, then it was additional security checks. Eventually, all communication stopped and that was when it hit me that i had been scammed. i tried using the police but they were unable to help in such situation, I started researching online to find out if there was any way to recover my funds and this was how i came across R O O T K I T S R E C O V E R Y F I R M through a crypto blogs where people mentioned recovery firms that specializes in retrieving lost crypto from fraudulent platforms. R O O T K I T S R E C O V E R Y F I R M being the highly recommended Firm i quickly reach to them through their contact details, they responded and requested for details and proofs of my investment with the crypto mining platform which i provided before they move on with the recovery processes. After about almost a week of their operations and professional services, they managed to recover back my investment of 425k worth of ethereum back to my wallet. it was such a huge relief for me and Im so grateful to team for such a lifesaving help rendered.
