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.

Jodie Allen I lost a total of 424k usdt to an investment platform, it was indeed a terrible experience for me and my family. all started on the 9th of May this year, i found this link of a Crypto investment company on the Facebook while i was scrolling through the App, i clicked on it and got redirected to the company website, after going through the website and what theyre all about i saw they have a list of packages for investors which the minimum pack to start with is 200, after i had gone through the informations and as well saw a few good reviews by previous investors on the website, i decided to move forward with the investment i had started with the minimum package and and made the 40% ROI just within 3days, i was able to withdraw this amount into my wallet, which prompted me to reinvest more funds into this company, this time i invested huge in hopes to get more out from my capital after a few days i earned my profits and was really buzzed up but didnt bother to withdraw the amount into my wallet, i was then advised to join the Ultimate package by the broker assigned to assist me, i had to put in more funds from my savings into my account to join the package, after some few weeks i was able to earn a lot of funds from my investment which i had needed to withdraw a part of the amount into my wallet for a family project but i noticed i couldnt make a withdrawal to my wallet, i contact the company for some assistance and i was been asked to make a 44k maintenance fee before withdrawal can be approved, i did and still wasnt able to withdraw, after that they asked for more fees which at a point i got exhausted of paying more without a result, i couldnt access my funds which i had with this company, this got me really sad and depressed when i had found out i was actually being scammed, I reported to the police but there was little information for them to start with, then recently as i was researching online i came across a comment section of people who have been scammed and their reviews of how they recovered back their funds, i learned that ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM has helped so many people who have in one way or the other lost their funds to trading or crypto investment companies i contacted them through the Email account, at R O O T K I T S 4 @ G M A I L . C O M , they also has a Telegram account @ ROOTKITS7 we spoke really well i told them how it all went down, before they move on with the recovery process, after a few days i got back all my funds back to the wallet i had provided the team, i couldnt believe it all but count myself lucky i came across this Team of professionals hackers, once more Im happy again and all thanks to ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM for their great help and effort. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Frank Joaquin What a great success working with the best hacking team out there (R O O T K I T S R EC O V E R Y F IR M) to recover my lost crypto investment to a fraudulent platform, i had a friend who introduced me into a bitcoin programmed scheme that I thought was a Legitimate investment opportunity but never went as planned, i had invested all my savings before i realize it was a scam, i was so blindfolded about the negative part this may turn out to be, in total i lost about 183,000 usd. i invested almost everything i had with this platform for over a period of months, when it got to the point that i wanted to take my profit which i have made but the platform suddenly refused me from doing so rather they keep asking that i invest more. i had to even upgrade the plan and reinvested more funds, but the withdrawal button still doesnt work when due for withdrawal that was when i then thought about the whole thing and realized what i got myself into, i really do not know how to go about the situation, at some point i thought all money was lost until i met this life saving crypto recovery firm ( ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM) on a crypto review site who had helped a lot of people recover their lost, i contacted them and explained my situation to the team and they assured me that theyll help me get my money back, i gave it a try and they definitely did a great job, all my funds stolen by the company was recovered back into my wallet account in few days of their operations and services, I dont really know how they got this done but this is really amazing anf awesome! Im writing this today to inform anyone out there who have had similar issue to contact the ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM through email or Telegram ( R O O T K I T S 4 @ G M A I L . C O M ) , Telegram @ ROOTKITS7 as they will surely help you to recover back your funds. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Carlo Vance Life often has a way of opening new doors when others close. I had been investing with a UK-based trading company, but it suddenly shut down without explanation. When I couldnt access my funds, I turned to KNIGHTHOODBOT HACK CORP, a private hacker group, to investigate. After a detailed look into the matter, they discovered that the company had absconded with my investments. Although this left me feeling lost, KNIGHTHOODBOT HACK CORP reassured me they could help recover what Id lost. True to their word, they conducted further investigations, and within 72 hours, they located my funds and were ready to transfer them back into my bank account which I quickly provided the necessary details, and without hesitation they arranged a direct wire. For those wondering how to reach them, KNIGHTHOODBOT HACK CORP can be contacted via email at /KNIGHTHOODBOT @ G MAIL DOT COM/ or on Telegram with the username KNIGHTHOODBOT99. They helped free me from the situation the scammers left me in, and Im confident they could assist anyone seeking to recover lost funds. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Gerald Scott I have been a victim of scam and out of my experience i can tell the damages this can cause to ones mental health. what made things worst for me is when i remember the hard work and sleepless night put together over the years working hard to get here just to loose everything to scammers, i was never greed of getting more money i just want to invest what i have been able to save up over the years, a friend of mine over on instagram got introduced me into this Crypto investment company, where investors are to benefit from the companys return profits it actually sounds interesting. i went on with them and invested some funds.. after awhile of my membership upgrade which i had invested a total of 306k within a couple months, i can view that i have my funds there together with the actual returns but couldnt make a withdrawal to my wallet, i tried to reach out to the customer support desk but they keep asking for more money before i could have my withdrawal approved, i did paid for the fees that was demanded but still was not able to successfully make a withdrawal to my bank account. i tried to reach out to the costumer care but they stopped responding to my emails and calls, i felt really disappointed after waiting for days with no reply from them, that was when i started looking out for a way to get my funds back, i tried using the Interpol, they did all they could but we never got a positive result, then my wife suggested we try out a hacker or some kind of specialist, and that was how i went in search of a good recovery firm on the google. fortunately, according to individual reviews from people who had been in similar situation i read that ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM can recover back my funds as they have successfully helped a lot of victims recoup their lost funds to scammers based on their expertise level on the field, Quickly i reached out to them over their Telegram account ROOTKITS7, luckily for me they replied and requested a few details regarding my investment with the fraudulent platform which i made all available to them before they moved on with the recovery, after about 4 days of their operation i was asked to provide my account details for the transfer back of my funds which i did but could still not believe it till the moment i received the notification of credit alert on my phone, for a minutes i was speechless but happy that in the end i got my funds back after an excellent professional job by the ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM, my sincere appreciation to this teams help and assistance towards my case. i recommend ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM to victims in need of such services, their email contact is as follows ROOTKITS 4 @G MAIL .COM Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Jacob Wilfred This Team are amazing! i really dont know what would have become of me if not for ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM, they was of a great benefits to my life. actually it was my first time investing in a crypto company, where i was introduced by a Lady i had met over a dating site, we actually have been friends from there for awhile. along the line she mention about this company to me and how she had been earning money through her investment with the platform, she did provided me with some sort of proofs and certificate of the company as well asked me to invest with the company in order to make some money too using her as my referral, i then went ahead and made a couple of investment with the platform within a few months, but when it was time for me to withdraw my total profits and earnings into my account i was met with excuses and demands for more money regarding the company upgrade, taxes and co as i was unable to make the withdrawal successfully. the support was not helping out in anyways, while all this was happening personally i got really disturb and depressed, a friend of mine who i opened up to in order to lend some money so i could at least pay the fees and have my funds but he then told me that this could be scam that he have had a similar experience in the past and advice i should get a hacker and then referred me to the ROOTKITS RECOVERY FIRM. left to me i never believe that could be possible but as it goes i contacted their email: R O O T K I T S 4 @ G M A I L . 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. I thought there were no such good genuine people anymore here, but this team brought my trust to humanity again.
