Boss,
this is the preliminary report on the bin Laden job we picked up – quite a coup getting that, wasn’t it? I’m sending this email by the new super-mega-secure system that the CIA connected us to, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. I hope this doesn’t go out on some random blog or something when I press ‘send’ LOL !
I’ve attached an Encase screenshot of the ‘Osama’ user profile. It’s pretty self-explanatory. The CIA will probably want to keep the Haliburton thing quiet, so let me know if you want it deleted using that handy Encase LE-only ‘delete inconvenient evidence but still make the hashes match’ button that we used on all those Op Ore jobs.
The computer was on when it was recovered, and the user seems to have been ~4 hours into a session on ‘hotornot.com’ – he favours needy-looking emo chicks, if you’re interested.
There was a lot of email on there, mostly on AOL (if ever there was a good excuse to execute a suspect…). Most of it’s spam, sent rather than received. He was big into the herbal viagra business, and seemed to be working as a Pakistan stringer for a few of the UK car insurance companies but indications are that he found the whole thing morally repugnant.
In terms of plans, he had a few MS Paint drawings of a proposed secret volcano base somewhere in the Indian ocean, and was working on a deal with the Somali pirates so that they’d protect him from sharks and deliver Angel Delight every week.
Financial – a few bank accounts mentioned, but I’ll need a couple more days OT to get the pages back (what was the CIA’s cost code again?). He had a Paypal account and was a big eBayer. Collecting those Franklin Mint figurine things, if you can believe it! He’d just ordered their Kate Middleton portrait doll. His online shopping was pretty much restricted to that, bulk quantities of Angel Delight and pallet-loads of digestive biscuits.
Plenty of music – lots of that martial jihadi crap, but he was also a big Butthole Surfers and Cramps fan. Who knew?!? Oh, and on the subject of music – the writing about ‘bury me at sea where no murdered ghosts can haunt me’ wasn’t a last will ‘n’ testament, he was writing out the lyrics of a Pogues song for the monthly Afghan Mujahid Alumni karaoke night.
Regarding the other exhibits, I’d recommend that unless the Americans can pay for the OT, they’re just going to have to sit in the queue. There’s no risk to life (what with him being dead), so it scores pretty low on the prioritisation matrix. Do you want to tell Obama that or should I?
Hope this is useful, give me a ring if you need anything else.
Laterz,
Monkey

Well all I can say is that it’s just as well you look good in orange and like Cuban cigars. I’m surprised you can read this with all that distracting helicopter noise

Definitely seems legit to me. Every computer has a picture titled “My nob” or some variation on that theme. The furries came as a bit of a surprise, though on second thought they probably shouldn’t have.

Yeah, I was surprised at the Furry thing. I thought it was just something 4Chan invented.
I like your blog btw – excellent title.

Thank you very much. Close runners up on the name were “Inglorious Write-Blockers” and “Boondock Satas”. Gotta add that Hollywood element and all.

Loving the ‘my nob pic’! Why do people do that?

what the obligatory ‘my nob pic’ or the removal of surmames?

The nob pic. I know we’ve all been told to put one on our workstations.
Girl, Unallocated
May 12, 2011
Yes, definitely a legal requirement. That is why I personally have many pics called things like “Naughty Bits”, “Bewbs”, and “XXX”. However, these all contain images of puppies and butterflies. I also have a folder called “Porn” that is nothing but out-of-focus close-ups of kitchen utinsels. If my computer is ever investigated, I’ll let them make of that what they will.

That’s a coincidence – I’ve got a folder called ‘kittens’ that’s full of photos of my gentlemanly paraphernalia!

Monkey,
In one word “Feckin’ brilliant !!”
How come you got the juicy computer to deal with? All we got here was a bag of old Betamax video tapes, and some “Genuine Car-booty stylee” Bollywood VCD movies on some really scratched DVD’s
Who got the memory sticks? Or have they been left on a tube train seat?
Just keep an ear out for the stealth blackhawks arriving at Monkeytown HQ !

Glad you enjoyed it, Monsieur le Poulet.
You might want to re-watch those VCDs – I heard that AQ were encoding messages into the big dance scenes at the end using semaphore. Notice the way they always end with a ‘wedding’?
I don’t know who got the memory sticks, but I did hear a rumour that they were all Hello Kitty ones.

We have done all the VCD’s – couldn’t get FTK imager to do them, so we used Windows Media Player – ran some specialist translation software across the results.
Have posted some of the output to a covert location – can some of your readers please check this and see if we are near to the mark with the results?

Looks genuine enough to me, and I’m something of an expert in these things. I’d also like to remind anyone who hasn’t done so that they need to see the excellent Four Lions. Toot sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVz9_uxogcE

Hmmm…..shouting ‘girly man’ while dancing like a chicken. A plot to poison the west’s chicken supply with oestrogen until we all grow boobies?
Uhh.... WHAT?

Are you sure that’s bin Laden’s hard drive? I find that extremely hard to believe. If that is true, the following must be true:
1. bin Laden has been organizing al Qaeda to apply for McDonalds. (Yeah. Frying potatoes are a good way to get the terrorism going. Nice job.)
2. bin Laden has been organizing al Qaeda to apply for MI6 positions. (Obviously, British people were dumb fucks who couldn’t even see through these follies.)
3. bin Laden was a RADICAL MUSLIM, of all things, no? Now he’s into Scientology? Good job!
4. bin Laden was playing Fallout 3? Brilliant. (I mean, yeah… a man’s gotta have a hobby, right?)

Yup, absolutely 100% sure – the yellow exhibit tag verifies that it was seized by one of the CIA scene-searchers and the evidence chain is checkable from him to me.

LOL ! Good to see username Elvis in there but where’s Shergar’s account? I think we should be told.
(Kid you not, but I actually had a real disk in with username Elvis the other week – thought the Suspect was taking the P).
Mwah, Mr Monkey !

Good point actually – I wonder if Ninja Squad 9 searched the compound for Shergar?
One of our guys always seems to get jobs with bizarre and unusual names. Dunno how he remembers them all.
Mwah back atcha!
