Paul Krugman claims someone downloaded kiddy-porn via his IP

[deltapapha]

time to lawyer up

 

[HockeyBjj]

Hmm. I'm not sure that's how that works

This is either this guy getting caught with kiddie porn and attempting to get ahead of the story, or his kid isn't just using pornhub

 

[cincymma79]

Goddamn all these guys fuck kids
What the fuck

 

[deltapapha]

this guy has always given me the creeps

Spoiler

 

[F1980]

Who is he? Never heard of him

 

[The Diplomat]

Who is he? Never heard of him

He came up with this everlasting quote-

"The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in 'Metcalfe's law'–which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants–becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's."

nobel prize winning economist, frequent guest on mainstream media news, also one of the most virulent Trump haters. He is fricking obsessed with Donald Trump

Krugman also made the bold prediction that if Trump got elected the markets would tank and never recover

So basically he's a complete moron. Lock this pedo up for life.

I'm not sure he worded that right but it's very possible to hack into someones WIFI network and download all kinds of shit. Everything you download will look like it's coming from your home but it could just be someone near by. When I lived with my sister she refused to buy internet so I cracked the WIFI password of this company nearby and started downloading all kinds of shit off torrent sites.

I remember when Kurt Angle was battling his addiction issues with painkillers and alcohol he went on a fucking bender drunk tweeting then the next morning claimed "my Twitter got hacked" to which CM Punk went:
"Claiming your Twitter got hacked is a shrouded version of 'I can't hold my liquor'"

MAYBE some got into his IP address to do that but... seems more likely either he used it to do that or someone that has physical access to his computer did it and he doesn't know about it.

 

[Low Test With da Best]

Why would he post this?

 

[Hard To Tell]

Why would he post this?

I imagine he's been caught with this sick shit and this is a pre-emptive tweet to try and get his excuses in before it inevitably becomes public.

Yeah, I was waiting on someone to weigh in on this. I didn't think you could just copy someone's IP address to down to a different location. But I don't know shit about technology.

Either way, it should be easy to investigate. If it was ever on his hard drive, it will be found.

That's a slightly better excuse than Kurt Eichenwald's "I was just doing research, I swear!".
Creepy guy tbqh, but I'm predicting he gets away with it.

A brief look into the background of that quote shows its from an article Krugman wrote about incorrect predictions. Taking it as a serious forecast is silly.

Could be, but assuming he's innocent, and wants his Twitter followers to think he's innocent, seems best bet would be to not mention it. However if he knows it's about to be made public for sure, I could see the reasoning.

Just kinda odd to see...

"Hey all, had a great brunch today!"

"Hey all, aren't families stressed around the holidays? Lol!"

"Hey all, taking care of some illegal porn stuff on my computer, ROFL!"

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Pretty easy to trace on premise usage of a mac address if he's connected to an ipv6 source. Wonder if they ran a SS8 xicipio trace without old Paul knowing it.

Paul never seemed like the most tech savy guy with his predictions so if hes running enhanced firewalls or went out and got his own router it may be a little fishy

Even better was when a pic of his screen later showed a tab open about tentacle porn...

"My wife didn't believe it was a thing so blame that prude" hahaha!

It wasn't a serious forecast, but it wasn't intentionally wrong either. He acknowledges later that he is not a technology expert.

I think this is one of those times where waiting to let the details come out is best. Until then, I'll continue to assume Krugman is not a nefarious kiddie diddler.
