Why is Chris Riley Running?
I was wondering what was taking Chris so long to answer the questions I asked him. First he wanted to have an interview via skype with a mediator. My first instinct was to go forth with the interview the way Mr. Riley requested. Then, as usual I began to research. At this time I discovered that none of Chris Riley’s past interviews had been done this way…So why does he want one with me?
I notified Chris Riley and explained to him that I would not be able to conduct the interview this way because it would seem bias. Take a look at what he wrote back. He even went as far as emailing the same message to the public relations department at LIGATT Security International (pr@ligatt.com). You’ve got to love this!

Hi,
Considering the following information, I’m afraid I won’t be able to
answer your list of supposed neutral questions. If you choose however to
refute these claims and wish to contact me for a Skype conversation,
then feel free to get back to me.
Oh, and thanks again for dumping your database and storing it
publicly… helpful for us… but not very smart!

Hello Chris,
Unfortunately, we will be unable to do the interview via Skype. As I
told you before, as the “Referee” I would like to remain anonymous. When
I interview Gregory Evans it is always by email. I email him the
questions and then he responds back by email. That is the way that this
process will work with both sides. At this time there will be no other
way of questioning. Please try and respond back to the questions that I
sent you as soon as possible so that I can post them to the website. The
viewers are awaiting…….
Thank You,
The Referee

Hi,
As I said in the DM, sorry for not answering, however the emails
where stuck in the spam filter.
Instead of simple answering these questions through email, as that’s
rather inflexible, I’d like to suggest an alternative. I can arrange
a Skype call, with a 3rd party moderator, so we can discuss things
directly and get you any information you need. We can also use the
audio for the site or other purposes if that’s ok.
Please let me know as soon as you can, as I’m due to fly to London
next week. due to work I’ll be missing Blackhat/Defcon, but that’s
life I guess!
Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,
Just following up with you to see if you have received the email
I sent you on July 8, 2010. The email contained a list of
questions pertaining to the “Cyber Wars Project”. If you did not
receive the list of questions they are listed below.
1.How long have you been in the computer security industry?
2. Do you consider yourself a hacker or a computer security expert?
3. What country are you based out of?
4. What position do you hold in your company?
5. Have you written any books, or been a guest on any media outlets?
6. Before the publication of “ How to be the Worlds No. 1
Hacker” had you ever heard of Greg Evans, Ben Rothke, or Donald
Donzal?
7. Is your reasoning behind blogging about Mr. Evans to gain
media attention?
8. Have you ever presented at any conferences or done any form
of public speaking?
9. How do you compare your resume to Greg Evans?
10. Have you done any media interviews, or written any books.
11. There was a snap shot taken of Gregory Evans while
interviewing with Fox News posted under the name Chris John
Riley, yet the picture was posted on the investors board under
the name 20PLUS. Are you any of the following aliases: 20PLUS,
Bman, Randy Moore, or 3commakid?
12. Do you consider yourself a cyber stalker?
13. I have seen a private investigative report on Donald Donzal,
Ben Rothke, and some others where they were looking for
pictures, background, and assets that they are using in the
lawsuit. Have you been served with a lawsuit from LIGATT
Security International?
14. Is it true that you asked for a public apology from Greg
Evans, and if so why?
15. Have you personally reached out to Kevin Mitnick, if so
have you asked did he know Gregory Evans?
16. Have you put out a video on youtube stating how you hacked
the National Cyber Security website?
17. Have you made any racial comments on the Internet about
Gregory Evans? Do you have any African American friends?
18. Would you feel the same way about Mr. Evans if he had
written all the original content in the book?
19. How long do you expect this confrontation to last?
20. Are you aware that by you taunting Mr. Evans and writing
about him on the message boards and blog sites you have
increased Mr. Evans book sales?
21. Are you aware that you accused Mr. Evans of writing you
threats that came from a BellSouth IP address when Mr. Evans
company uses with Megapath?
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks Chris and I
hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
The Referee

- All emails XOR’d twice for added security -

Here’s my .02 on these questions:
Question 5 & 10 are identical, which shows a lack of preparation.
Question 9 is pointless.
Question 12 is insulting to anyone.
Question 13 should be considered private.
Question 17 is absolutely ridiculous.
Question 20 is pointless.
Question 21 seems redundant since its already been shown to be associated with LIGATT.
These questions, to me, seem to show some biasness towards Evans. They seem argumentative, rather than informative.
Attention Mephisto: Since you seem to be arguing under cover and by all means a hater of Gregory Evans…SpreadUm and put your hands above your head. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all! Everyone can see that you are being UGLY.
Mephisto is challenging the questions being put to Chris Riley, how pray does this make him a Greg Evans hater?
“Do you have any African American friends?”
Seriously? Because not having African American friends clearly makes you a racist. Frankly assuming black people are American is a prejudice in itself.
Q. Why is Chris Riley Running?
A. To get there quicker.
