akula has answered more warez questions than any 10 of the most helpful people who ever posted here or to abc. He learned to crack and used to regularly post his cracks for those who requested them. When the flow of fresh warez dried up, he organized a group of people and filled abwi.0 with posts. I just wish Chris had paid more attention to his NSP; I hated to let my account lapse but the retention became unbearable.

Vrodok was a stump-dumb, bi-polar Caputo lapdog who exposed Caputo when Caputo addressed his sockpuppet, "Newly-minted User", in what Vrodok perceived to be a threatening manner (in reality Caputo recognized the puppet and was trying to alert Vrodok that Vrodok's enemies could get him TOS'd off Easynews if Vrodok kept using the puppet in the spamming way he was)

NOTE:   AS OF JANUARY 2007, VRODOK ABANDONED HIS NYM AND BEGAN POSTING
TO USENET UNDER THE NYM "Manatee Memories"; HE IS NOW DECEASED.
JOHN CORLISS, A PERCEPTIVE ALT.COMP.FREEWARE CONTRIBUTOR, GAVE
CHRIS "Bill" CAPUTO A WELL-DESERVED SLAP IN AUGUST 2007.
THE CONNECTIONS
  1. Chris Caputo is a Libertarian and "akula" has claimed to be a Libertarian.
  2. Chris Caputo is familiar with Virginia and Seattle and "akula" has claimed to have been in Virginia and Seattle. Asked when he was in Seattle last, "akula" said he couldn't recall.
  3. Chris Caputo has lived in Maryland and "akula" has claimed to have lived in Maryland.
  4. In the 1980s Chris Caputo attended a private high school located approximately 7 miles from Washington, D.C, and "akula" has claimed to have lived near Washington, D.C. in the 1980s.
  5. Chris Caputo was a software engineer and, prior to claiming to be a janitor, "akula" claimed to be a software engineer.
  6. Chris Caputo has posted in alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.d, alt.binaries.news-server-comparison, alt.ipl.discussion and alt.usenet.kooks. "akula" has posted in alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.d, alt.binaries.news-server-comparison, alt.ipl.discussion and alt.usenet.kooks.
  7. Chris Caputo is an atheist and "akula" has claimed to have no belief in God.
  8. Chris Caputo is a vegetarian and "akula" has claimed to be a vegetarian.
  9. Chris Caputo was born in 1971 and "akula" made a post in 2001 claiming to be 30 years old.
10. When an unmarked photograph of the Seattle building where Chris Caputo maintains his office was posted in alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.d, "akula" claimed he was being stalked (the post simply contained the phrase "Closing In" as its subject line and had no words in the body).
11. "akula" claimed to live in Florida but timestamps of interior files of multiple zips posted on different dates by "akula" show they were all created in Seattle's time zone.
12. Chris Caputo is a newsadmin and "akula" frequents mutiple newsgroups where newsadmins hang out.
13. Chris Caputo owns Altopia, "akula" is an IPL member and IPL members in alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.encrypted got away with posting through Altopia with forged NNTP-Posting-Host and X-Trace headers.
14. Chris Caputo owns Altopia and "Average Joe", an Altopia customer despised by "akula", got TOS'd from Altopia for making two crossposted trolls. When "akula" several months later made numerous crossposted trolls through Altopia and a public outcry demanded he be TOS'd for it like "Average Joe" was, Chris Caputo immediately appeared and said he decided to change Altopia's long-standing policy so as to permit the behavior. On May 23, 2006, after being shown 2 posts of "akula" bragging of having committed forgery and criminal conspiracy through Altopia servers (in response to public outcry that "akula" was receiving special treatment), Chris Caputo refused to respond.
15. Chris Caputo owns Altopia and "anadvocate", a very close pedophile friend of "akula" who stated that increased taxes were chipping away at his retirement nest egg, made multiple crossposted trolls via Altopia prior to the above referenced policy change, made multiple death threats to people "akula" dislikes through Altopia, attempted to blackmail people "akula" dislikes via Altopia, made posts threatening to ruin the life and career of a young girl "akula" dislikes via Altopia, committed forgery twice through Altopia, and yet continued to receive free, unblemished highspeed Altopia access valued at $348 per month during the 10+ years he subscribed to Altopia. Chris Caputo, questioned on August 4, 2006 with regard to "anadvocate", said: "I don't know which customer that is. I doubt I have ever spoken with this person, or if I did my memory of such an event has been lost."
16. A poster from Altopia using the nym "Altnet Sucks" got TOS'd from Altopia after making negative comments about "akula", and was told by Chris Caputo that the TOS was justified because "akula is a respectable Usenet contributor" and consequently the flames caused Altopia's service to become "disrupted."
17. "akula", posting through Altopia, repeatedly urged people to commence legal action against him (which would cause Chris Caputo to receive mail containing a real-life name). "akula", posting through Altopia, has also stated that threats directed at him are futile.
18. Chris Caputo's email address is abuse@alt.net, "akula" is the only known Altopia subscriber who voluntarily included that address in the headers of almost every post he injected through Altopia so as to make it as easy as possible for people to complain about him, and "Bill" displays Altopia's default website URL in the headers of almost every post.
19. It is not newsadmin policy to disclose to a customer the number or content of complaints received about that customer, yet "akula" claimed Chris Caputo has received "thousands of complaints" about him. Despite these thousands of complaints, of course, the "akula" nym forever posted through Altopia with impunity.
20. "akula" made a post containing the purported balance of a bank account maintained by Chris Caputo in connection with Caputo's affiliation with the Libertarian Party.
21. In a failed attempt to "prove" he is not Chris Caputo, "akula" posted two alleged photographs of himself which were subsequently blown up and shown to be photos of two different people. One of them, datestamped, was alleged by "akula" to be a photo of himself taken in Orlando, however the sun was shining brightly in the photo and a weather history posted thereafter by UFF showed Orlando had experienced thunderstorms and clouds the entire day.
22. The time "akula" claimed he "took a breather" from Usenet in 1997 was the same time Chris Caputo upgraded his storage system. In early 2004, "akula" daily post volume in alt.binaries.cracks plummeted 88% immediately after Chris Caputo made a post in altnet.general stating new hard drives he ordered for Altopia had arrived. And when "akula" post volume significantly decreased again in late 2005, Altopia's retention suddenly again increased.
23. "akula" disappears when Chris Caputo attends a Seattle Internet Exchange board meeting. "akula" comes back online after the meeting ends.
24. Chris Caputo considers "The Matrix" to be one of his favorite movies and "akula" has referenced "The Matrix" repeatedly when mentioning movies.
25. A newsadmin can spend every waking moment of his life on Usenet and still be employed. "akula" spends every waking moment of his life on Usenet and claims to be employed.
26. "akula" claimed to have inside knowledge that someone at Mabry was about to bust a warez poster named "Schwarzenegger", and Mabry's corporate headquarters is a 45-minute drive from the home of Chris Caputo.
27. Chris Caputo was employed in Washington by Microsoft; "akula" has claimed to have attended Microsoft-sponsored conferences and events, has praised Bill Gates, and has claimed that various Microsoft workers employed in Washington have shared personal experiences with him.
28. Usenet warez veteran "John_S" made a post stating with unequivocal certainty that "akula" is Chris Caputo.
29. Usenet MP3 veteran "SixDarts" made a post stating that it is "common knowledge" that "akula" is Chris Caputo.
30. Usenet cracks veteran "340" made a post affirming that "akula" is Chris Caputo.
31. The UFF, who to date enjoys a track record of 100% perfect accuracy for every identification deemed "100% POSITIVE", made a PGP-signed post stating with 100% positive certainty that "akula" is Chris Caputo.
32. When Leslie "Juda" Paulin threatened to rat out Usenet veteran "Zeke" in 2004, "akula" urged "Juda" to back down if Zeke made a post unambiguously stating "akula" is not Chris Caputo (Zeke never did).
33. "Newly-minted user" (a sockpuppet of "Vrodok the Troll") addressed "akula" as "Chris" after feeling threatened by him. The response of "akula" to Vrodok's one-line retort intimated that the Easynews account of "Newly-minted user" might soon be in jeopardy.
34. After "akula" was outed as being Chris Caputo, almost all IPL members quietly abandoned their Altopia accounts. "anadvocate", "Aubergine", "Kinda Dumb" and several other pedophiles also ceased posting from Altopia.
35. "akula" has to date made over 200 posts claiming he is not Chris Caputo. One post chastised a user for making a crosspost which quoted someone else claiming the two are one and the same because it "increased the visibility" of the claim.
36. Almost every newsadmin has communicated with "akula" and Chris Caputo. Despite hundreds of posts injected to newsadmin-frequented groups claiming the two are one the same, not a single newsadmin has ever stepped forward to categorically state otherwise.
37. Chris Caputo (posting as himself) acknowledged Verizon abuser "Bill" to be his former customer "akula", forgetting "akula" claimed the email address provided to Altopia was an AOL address.
38. "akula", in an attempt to "prove" he is not Chris Caputo, allegedly voluntarily provided documents to "Robb", newsadmin of Shared Secrets. Robb appeared after several weeks and was unable or unwilling to state that the documents provided (if any) proved that "akula" is not Chris Caputo. Instead of asking Robb to state his conclusion clearly and risk hearing what he might say, "akula" immediately thereafter made a post asking him to drop the issue.
39. After vehemently claiming that he had unsubscribed from Altopia to "prove" he was not Chris Caputo, "akula" (posting under the pseudonym "Bill") began using a different PGP key and, through a hijacked verizon.net box, said he could be reached at the email address on that key — an address leading to a server controlled solely by Chris Caputo reserved exclusively for privileged Altopia subscribers.
40. "degaussed", "anadvocate", "Blind Bob", "Dr. Hempfinder", "TheApostle" and other K00K KaMP members have repeatedly and vehemently asserted that "akula" is not Chris Caputo, but conveniently never offered even a shred of substantiating proof. Those having the audacity to demand proof were typically labeled "obsessed cowards" and urged to seek treatment in a mental health facility.

Years ago, I had a run in with Caputo as a customer. I posted using what appeared to be a friend of Chris's Hotmail address. But it was actually my own hotmail address. I had replaced the L's with capital I's.  hehe, it was hilarious at the time. You had to be there.
 
The friend reported me to Chris who was also fooled and threatened to cancel my account for abuse. Chris never responded to my email when I pointed out the egg on his face BUT in the newsgroup Akula posted a strange response that sounded very much like an annoyed Caputo. This was years before anyone said the Caputo and Akula might be one and the same but I thought it very odd at the time.
 
My view, in the very least Caputo and Akula had personal communication discussing my behavior.

I had an account with alt.net but as soon as aKOOKla threatened to report me since I flamed his ignorant ass for being stupid, I got my account canceled! Chris Caputo, who used the same words that aKOOKla usually uses, justified his action claiming that I was disrupting his service and that "akula" is a respectable usenet contributor. BUAHAHAHAHAAAAHA!!!
 
Surely you're still denying that you are not Chris Caputo, aKOOKla? If anyone believes that shit, I can probably sell them the space station.
