Discussion of a Chilean government report alleging Cicada 3301 was preparing for a cataclysmic cyber event, plus fringe theories that the group wanted to erase credit card and student debt records, with a joke tangent about a subprime Long Island mortgage.
- 52:39Chilean government claimed they had detailed intelligence on Cicada and asserted the group was preparing for a cataclysmic cyber event.
- 53:24Cicada released a statement denying those allegations, but it's impossible to verify whether the statement actually came from the real group.
- 54:06One theory holds that Cicada was trying to erase debt records on a massive scale, including credit card and college debt, a concept the show Mr. Robot drew from.
- 54:35Tim describes getting coked out on Long Island, buying a house he couldn't afford with a subprime mortgage, and imagines Cicada erasing those financial records.
- 54:55Tim admits he'd love if Cicada would erase the record of him walking into a Nissan dealership with a 510 credit score and buying a car with an unaffordable interest rate.
