There’s a kind of person who looks at a broken system and sees an opportunity nobody else can see. Most of them work in finance, or law, or tech. A few of them go further.

This is the story of one of those people — and what happens when someone with that kind of mind decides the rules don’t apply to him.

In thirty hours, a homeless ex-convict with one keyboard outsmarted six thousand of the world’s most paranoid cybercriminals. He didn’t break their security. He didn’t crack their encryption. He convinced them to log in to his platform — by making sure there was nowhere else to go.

His name was Max Butler. The most audacious hostile takeover in the history of the internet — pulled off with a password that was four characters long.

If you’ve ever wondered what someone could do with the right mindset and zero respect for what was supposed to be impossible — this is it.
