When Mitnick was arrested, the government was after him....only Mitnick.
As time passed, Lewis De Payne, Mitnick's best friend, tried to help Mitnick by giving him his own private attorney. The government got pissed because they wanted Mitnick to be stuck with a public appointed attorney. To get even, the government charged De Payne, along with Mitnick. De Payne but up bail. This always angered Mitinick because he thought De Payne should be in a cell with him. Mitnick resented his friend's success in porn. Mitnick is a very vindictive person. I knew it from the beginning, but I overlooked the truth. BIG MISTAKE!
De Payne did everything he could do to support Mitnick. De Payne was responsible for the website, giveup.com. Was Mitnick thankful? Fuck No! Mitnick wouldn't recognize the site. It was done, tongue-in-cheek style, and Mitnick saw no humor in it. He wanted his own website with his name, of course. So De Payne got the name, mitnick.com. Kevin still wasn't happy. He decided he wanted kevinmitnick.com. Mitnick was being a prick. He didn't just request things, he DEMANDED that he be given complete control, even though the rest of us were doing all the damn work.
Giveup.com was the first official Mitnick website. Mitnick never thanked anyone involved with the site. Bottom line...Mitnick was a fucking tyrant. He bitched at everybody, but he did his bitching through me or one of his trusted supporters. We took all the shit, while Mitnick acted like he wasn't the one who was the bastard responsible for all the bitching. I made excuses for him because he would call at a late hour and complain about his toothache, his hiatal hernia, his panic attacks, and his heart papitations. I told myself that I shouldn't get upset with him because he needed a friend, and here he was in prison without a clue as to how long he would remain there. Yes, I do have a heart. Mitnick used that understanding side of me to get what he wanted.
Mitnick doesn't want to admit it now, but at the time when 2600 wanted to take over Mitnick's site, kevinmitnick.com, Mitnick was very upset. Mitnick drove everyone crazy with his collect calls. It was very difficult to reach Emmanuel Goldstein of 2600. I think Goldstein was just sick of Mitnick. Even Mitnick's present business partner, Alex Kasper, was sick of Mitnick. Nobody wanted to accept the collect calls. It came down to me, Uncle Mitchell, and Granny Reba. We took the calls. We were the fools.
Why not ask Darci about giveup.com? She acts like she is such an expert. She knows nothing. I lived it. She reads bits and pieces from the internet and listens to her cracker BF lie through his teeth. I have witnesses. I was a witness!
Sorry, I don't know how to be brief when I'm talking about Mitnick!
