Since he began posted his social security number anywhere and everywhere (457-55-5462), Todd Davis has “failed to pay back a $500 loan”, “has piles of unpaid AT&T bills” and “racked up thousands in credit card debt”.

Aparently, the FTC knows what a scam LifeLock is as well since they have fined LifeLock $12 million.  According to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz:

“the protection they provided left such a large hole…that you could drive that truck through it.”

Pretty crazy stuff…

The restaurant will go live for 2 months, which will serve a dish for $77 Taiwan ($3 American).  Coming soon, the Mac Big Mac!

Recorded Future allows financial analysts, intelligence analysts, and predictors to organize and aggregate future observations with ease.
