The Johnny Nguyen (GreenValueHost) AMA. Yes, It's Happening.

I will be conducting a no-holds-barred interview with Johnny Nguyen on LowEndBox, and am soliciting questions from the community.
I don't think Nguyen needs any introduction, but for those who don't remember, his time in our community included
- the spectacular flameout of GreenValueHost, a provider which offered fantastic, unsustainable pricing and was embroiled in numerous DDoS, datacenter dispute, and service disruption moments
- suicide threats by Nguyen
- Nguyen broke into his high school to change his grades or something like that
- someone was SWATted? I seem to recall
- the brand being sold to @XFS_Duke - who regaled us with "recorded in my driveway" videos for a while but eventually flushed service. His wife also appeared to taunt us with sex toys at one point. Hi, @XFS_Nicole !
- Innumerable fake accounts here - e.g., @GVH_Jaroslav and all the rest, all of whom I think were Johnny, whose title changed multiple times
- a surprisingly impassioned plea to help another community member who turned out to have a scarred past (the scarred past is public knowledge, but perhaps not Johnny's attempts to get the kid some help)
- the introduction of the term FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE in our community
- at least a dozen other dramas I've forgotten
Nguyen recently left prison on a fraud charge.
LEB is not endorsing or promoting anything that Nguyen did, but as one of the - if not the - most infamous members of our community, I think a Q&A would make for interesting reading.
Rules of the Thread
- Post your question for Nguyen below. The purpose of this thread is to gather questions for Nguyen.
2., Questions asking about facts or events are also allowed. To be honest, at this point my own recollection of all the events is hazy.
As always, rules of LET apply, so any questions that are inappropriate (racist, etc. - you know what I mean) will be removed.
I will be consolidating questions down to prune repetition, etc. and will present them all to Nguyen. I think he plans to answer all but obviously this is voluntary.
I'll be closing this thread on May 8.

Brilliant.
Ask him about the soap.
Did Lance ever actually exist?
Thanks to @MannDude for suggesting this idea.
How complicit were ColoCrossing in the entire GreenValueHost saga?
What did he do to get arrested?
Fraud - I believe this is a relevant article - https://www.justice.gov/usao-ma/pr/new-hampshire-man-sentenced-financial-fraud-scheme-using-stolen-identities
Who did he rat on? Did the ratting make a significant impact on sentencing? Did he pay his sister for vps migration work or did she do it for free?
DDoS of his school, (financial/carding) fraud - which it seems was what stuck, swatting if I remember correctly?

Holy shit. I stopped everything I was doing to click on this thread as soon as soon as I could. I'll be watching for the most part.
Three questions from me: What happened? How? Why?
Also, approximately how much money did he defraud the public for? The FBI article was claiming hundreds of thousands but for Low End Webhosting?!?
The fraud is nothing to do with his time on LET or with GVH.
Here are @MannDude's questions from the thread in which @MannDude suggested the idea of interviewing Johnny Nguyen:
Questions I'd like to see be asked:
Hi @Nekki!
Maybe the article you found is relevant. However, I found a couple additional possibilities.
Does anybody know:
the name of the case,
the name of the court, and
the docket number?
@raindog308 if nobody knows, maybe you could ask preliminarily so we could look at the documents and thereby come up with interesting questions?
Friendly greetings!
Tom
This Nguyen guy seems like a cultured person.
I've got a few questions:
Tom,
It is the correct article. I don't just make shit up. If you found other possibilities you don't know what you're looking for.
Regards,
Nekki
Maybe:
United States v. Nguyen
United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts
Docket No. 1:20-cr-10100

lol
Do you think carding has a future? What tips would you give to someone thinking of starting a career in cybercrime?
I have a question for him. Looking back, do you regret your choices?
high risk business
(quote from “pirates of the caribbean” movie)
Meaning of life? Where does the path take you from here? Anything to say to the LET community?
did you graduate?
whats your next scam gonna be?
When I saw this, I just think of MaxKVM, I guess I'm still too young.
A couple of questions from me...
What were your top purchases with the frauded money?
Do you intend on relaunching a hosting company?
If you can change one thing about the past, what would it be?
What are your future plans?
Pretty standard thing to have at the top of a media release tbh, but introducing it to LET vocab, sure!
in the past was your linkedin account hacked! how did it happen "password leaked or something else"?
there was an inappropriate profile pic if i recall correctly.
my question:
you are a drug user, did you get drugs while in prison?
When you were in prison did you commit sodomy with your fellow inmates?
Yes, it's going as well as I expected it would.
You can always rely on LET to go full-idiot when an opportunity presents itself.
i think his entertainment value is long past, and most of the answers will probably boil down to bored-smart-kid-syndrome (i might have just made that up).. not sure it'll be enough to get me to click an leb link, but remind me when it happens and maybe!
might be a good idea to compile a list of links (even if just from let) to tack on to it for the history?
perhaps more details about how cc enabled much of this and how involved they were will come out, maybe you can do that cc #winning guy next, make it a series?
