He puts forward far more effort than many other "scambaiters."

He has coding streams where he makes countless tools to take up more time / capture information from scammers. He has a fake bank site he uses to capture banking details of scammers when they try to wire money to themselves from the victim's bank account (he has a relationship with bank fraud teams and law enforcement.)

He's also a talented voice actor and social engineer who can keep scammers on the phone with who they think is his bank for hours. Absolutely worth a watch on YouTube or his Twitch streams if you have a moment.

My favorite was the cubic equation captcha on the fake bank website -- which Grandma Edna (his character) had no trouble solving in her head because back in the day they taught arithmetic properly!

Kids these days.
