I’ve been sitting back analyzing this whole Bishop Eddie Long situation at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. I have lifted weights with Bishop Long and this does not seem like the type of person he is. I’ve been telling friends and family how easy it is to spoof someone and build a case against them that appears full proof.
As an engineer, I know how to do this and can easily frame anyone including Bishop Eddie Long if I felt so compelled. Here’s how I would frame him and set him up to extort him for cash and change my financial situation in a depressed economy.
This whole thing would start when the theft of his laptop was done. On Bishop Long’s laptop, he would have cookies embedded in his browser to remember his passwords on certain sites including gmail, Facebook, or whatever.
Let’s say person 1 who stole the laptop was brilliant as I am from a technological standpoint. You take the laptop and get onto gmail. Even though the password is encrypted you can still run a program to capture what the text of it is. While you’re on the laptop, you steal private photos of him taking pictures of himself that he shared only with his wife. Also, once you get access to his gmail, he would never know when you’re in it because gmail does not keep track of open user accounts. Two people can be in gmail at once.
So, I now have his password from gmail and I have photos of him to set up the blackmail. I then buy a blackberry and configure the blackberry email to work with the gmail account that I have stolen. My new blackberry is used to spoof and “become Bishop Eddie Long”. I then start to send very sexual messages to my own phone from my impersonating “hacked” Bishop Eddie Long blackberry phone.
I continue to send messages at all hours of the night to make my story believable. To make it seem like this guy is really pursuing me hard and wants to have all kinds of sex with me at any time of the day and night. In case the real Bishop Long changes his password, I have deployed a small piece of software on his laptop that lives in memory but no one ever sees. It watches his keystrokes and when he changes his passwords, I am alerted via a text message from his computer. In fact, I set up the software to send me the changed “cookie” or new email address that he is using to log into Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, MSN, etc.
The revealing pictures are awesome proof because he sent them privately to his wife but I have made them appear as though he sent them to me directly from his phone. I have made him out to be a pervert and I know that the United States would go hard against him once this is revealed and I can win punitive damages totaling over $2,000,000. To make it a class action lawsuit, I need two or more of my buddies to help make this story real and to up the ante.
I proceed to call my friends and let them in on my $2,000,000 plan. I will give them each $100,000 cash money to go along with my story. Yeah it may be tough to live in Atlanta anymore but why not just take the cash and head down to Miami and live in obscurity with a bucketload of cash money. We all want it. My plan will work.
I call the lawyer and show her these text messages and emails from the blackberry to my phone. She buys it and believes it. But the one thing that they are forgetting in my set up of Bishop Long is that you can trace and track IP addresses down to each phone and laptop that is used at a WI-FI location. You can even track the email headers of an email to see exactly where the email was sent from.
What Bishop Long’s lawyers need are expert witnesses who know IP technologies well like me and my company Spinks Technologies. You need investigative sleuths who can take every single one of those email messages and scan the headers, determine exactly what time, what Panera Bread, what Starbucks and where the emails originated from. These dudes are not slick enough to think about technology in this manner.
I think they were smart enough to plan it and set it up and impersonate Bishop Eddie Long. Due to greed and fast money, I don’t think they were thorough enough and thought out exactly how to protect their own identifies when sending email from Bishop Long’s so called email account or blackberry phone.
