when you live in a forest like new yawk,
on rare occasions,
someone will randomly ask to use your phone in the wild.
thank God i usually had “the face” on so they already know.
face on + headphones on = “bullshit repellent“.
outside of having “the face” on,
you gotta have S-tier discernment.

unfortunately,
many people prey on those who aren’t cognitively impaired.

i read a really sad story that hurt me today.
another fucking crime to add to the list of how disappointing some can be.
two hyenas took advantage of christopher john tsoulos,
tried to blackmail him,
and he ended up having to take his own life…

A couple in North Carolina who admitted to targeting a vulnerable man with an intellectual disability in a blackmailing and extortion scheme that ended with the victim taking his own life have been sentenced to federal prison.

U.S. District Judge Max O. Cogburn, Jr. on Thursday ordered Trysten Anthony Cullon and Jade Ashlynn Stone, both 27, to serve 41 months and 27 months in prison, respectively. Cogburn handed down the sentences after the duo pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy to commit cyberstalking, authorities announced.

Prosecutors said the pair carried out a short but devastating harassment campaign against Christopher John Tsoulos, a 37-year-old Charlotte man who had an intellectual disability and relied heavily on his family for support.

According to court documents, the scheme began on Sept. 5, 2024, when Cullon approached Tsoulos while he was working at a Chick-fil-A in Charlotte, North Carolina.

At about 4:52 p.m., Tsoulos allowed Cullon to use his cellphone. Minutes later, Cullon used the device to send messages to Stone asking her to pick him up and telling her the situation was “urgent.” Phone in hand, Cullon then left the restaurant and returned to the vehicle where Stone was waiting in the parking lot.

Court records say the two had already created a new Gmail address and a Cash App account earlier that day as part of their plan.

Because the phone was unlocked, Cullon and Stone had “unfettered access to the financial applications on the phone, including mobile payment apps and Christopher’s bank account,” prosecutors said in a news release. The defendants used Tsoulos’ phone and Apple ID to attempt unauthorized transfers from his financial accounts, including Cash App, PayPal, and his bank account.

When those attempts failed, prosecutors say the pair escalated the scheme.

Using the stolen phone, the defendants began sending threatening messages to Tsoulos’ family members and associates, accusing him of being a “pervert” and threatening to spread humiliating allegations to his employer.

According to court filings, the defendants demanded $300 through Cash App and threatened to send the allegations to Tsoulos’ employer if the money was not paid.

Additional messages threatened to accuse the victim of “harassing girls,” visiting brothels, paying women for sexual images, and engaging in sexual activity with minors.

In one message sent to a relative, the sender warned:

“Your son is a pervert and I’m going to let his job and everyone else in his family know that.”

The message continued:

“Unless you want me to ruin him and embarrass you I suggest you provide some compensation.”

Federal prosecutors say the harassment campaign lasted just a few days — from Sept. 5 through Sept. 8, 2024 — but had devastating consequences.

On Sept. 8, Tsoulos shot and killed himself on the front steps of his Charlotte home. His father found his body the following morning.

Authorities said the cyberstalking scheme “drove him to suicide,” leaving his family devastated.

what a horrific thing to read.
i cried over this shit.
that was hard to digest because he was kind enough to let them use his phone.
not only that,
his poor father had to find his body.
ugh.
what gets me is:

do hyenas really think they are gonna get away with these kinds of crimes in 2026?

everything is on the summer jam screen nowadays.
they may get away with it for a little bit,
they’ll eventually get caught but the sad part in stories like this:

an innocent person ended up losing in the end too.

…and to give these demons only to get the time they got?
such a slap in the face in the name of justice.

i hope the demons of hell up in that prison work in favor to avenge christopher john tsoulos.

may he rest in peace and may those hyenas days never be peaceful.

lowkey: there is so much evil in the forests right now.
you gotta keep your head on a swivel at all costs.
