> This sounds too fantastical to be true.

Use Firestick as RDP/VNC client, use mobile phone for internet, obtain keyboard from Amazon Shopping, remote into a VM, proceed as usual?

Like sure, it is technically possible he runs termux, has all of his hacking tools available, and is amazingly good with an onscreen keyboard.

That being said, if this were an episode of CSI, I would be rolling my eyes.

Yeah unfortunately rather obvious considering Fire Sticks run android and allow you to enable remote ADB.
