If you are a Google Maps Contributor, you get points for submitting reviews and photos. Points increase your level. The higher your level, the more free stuff you get. At level 6, I got free socks.

The reviews often included photos of the restaurants, which sometimes featured photos of the Irish drug lord himself.

Gonna bet this guy is way high of a level to keep outing himself.

What?!? I'm level 7 and I didn't get any socks. How did you get free socks?

it's not a thing anymore. being a maps contributor in the past put you into a little club where you got rewards for reaching guide levels. they used to give away Google drive space , invites to socials, and the socks mentioned in this thread. unfortunately it went away since it's not a novel feature where they need to drive people to be contribute.

Shoot. I never looked at those emails because they sent so many. Free drive space, pins, Google Play Cash. All expired now. oh well.

"He's at the Hilton!" "Well then, let's go there!" "I dunno, it doesn't sound great. This guy only ranked it 2 stars, and apparently it really hates cops."

I like how they found him on LinkedIn first then just searched him up on google to find his other accounts.

I wonder if his account was recommended to the FBI agent as someone he might know is now using LinkedIn

So…why haven’t they been arrested?

The bellingcat article mentions that the UAE may extradite kinahan sr soon. I imagine he's been able to put it off this long because money and connections. Just like every other rich fuck

Dude uses his real fucken names. All you had to be was Dejorno McBawls and you're good.

Seriously. I'd at least switch my name to angstytits. Delay my reviews until I'd left town at the very least.

"Can't stop"?

"Won't stop" is more like it.

It's a power move.

The revelation comes two years after a LinkedIn profile associated with Kinahan named “Christopher Vincent”—the same name on the Google account—was uncovered.

"Yeah, but the cannolis at the bakery on 42nd really are shit"

Came here to post this, but you beat me. Hilarious shit

Just start doing fake reviews, confuse the shit out of them.

Of course, that could go against his moral code.
