Sadly, karma doesn’t catch up with everyone. If it did, I can instantly think of hundreds of politicians who would be staring at the inside of a prison cell at present.
Sometimes, though, the world’s worst people do get their comeuppance.
Take Hunter Moore (above), for example. In 2010, he created the revenge porn website ‘Is Anyone Up?’ which wrecked untold lives.
Rolling Stone called him “the most hated man on the internet” and Moore embraced that tag, going as far as to refer to himself as “a professional life ruiner”.
James McGibney was also rather loathed on the internet after setting up Cheaterville, a website aimed at naming and shaming cheaters. That site snowballed, reports VICE, and McGibney realised he had to try and undo some of the damage:
In the depths of his soul-searching, he was contacted by a member of Anonymous, looking to team up to take on the ‘king of revenge porn’, Hunter Moore.
Moore’s infamous site was where men went to post revenge porn photos of women, alongside identifying details like their Facebook profiles – setting the women up to be harassed and shamed online.
After pretending to be Hunter’s friend, James managed to take over Hunter’s site, and bring down the most hated man on the internet.
You really, really have to be a horrid human to attract that sort of description.
Well, it’s warranted. A warning that you’re going to instantly despise Moore the second you hit play:
