So earlier this year I wrote about this cybercrime rapper named Punchmade Dev, who wears outlandishly gaudy and expensive stuff around his neck and croons in videos in front of stacks of cash at ATMs, talking about how to do wire fraud, cashout PayPal and Cash App accounts, etc. The story showed how this Punchmade character seems to be a 22-year-old guy in Lexington, Ky named Devon Turner who operates multiple web stores that sell apparently compromised payment cards and identity information (alongside check printing software and tutorials on....wait for it...OPSEC!).
On a hunch that maybe Punchmade's lack of opsec might have caught up with him, I checked PACER and found instead that he recently sued his bank, alleging they discriminated against him for his race over his denied request to transfer $75,000 out of his account. Incredibly, Mr. Turner signed his pro se complaint filed in a Kentucky court with the same phone number and email address that are tied to the Punchmade domain names that are selling products like "ID+ High Balance CC, ID front/back, SSN, and 7$k-10k CC, for $80"
Here's the story:
In January, KrebsOnSecurity wrote about rapper Punchmade Dev, whose music videos sing the praises of a cybercrime lifestyle. That story showed how Punchmade's social media profiles promoted Punchmade-themed online stores selling bank account and payment card data. Now the Kentucky native is suing
his financial institution after it blocked a $75,000 wire transfer and froze his account, citing an active law enforcement investigation.

ROSSMANN no longer buys Tesla
06.08.2024 | Company, Sustainability
ROSSMANN will not purchase any more Tesla vehicles for its fleet from now on. This decision is based on the incompatibility between the statements of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the values that Tesla represents with its products.
In 2018, Elon Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter): "Tesla exists to help reduce risk of catastrophic climate change, which affects all species on Earth. [...]".
"Elon Musk makes no secret of supporting Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly described climate change as a fraud - this attitude is in stark contrast to Tesla's mission to contribute to environmental protection by producing electric cars," says Raoul Roßmann, spokesman for the management.
For this reason, the company ROSSMANN will no longer purchase Tesla vehicles for its fleet in the future. ROSSMANN will continue to use the current stock of Tesla vehicles for reasons of sustainability and resource conservation. However, the company will rely on alternative manufacturers and models for future vehicle orders.](https://fedi.ml/photo/preview/640/579171 "Press release from Rossmann:
