An interesting twist on rubber hose decryption in the case of the murder of Jonathan Levin, son of the top executive of media giant Time Warner.
Police believe his ATM card was stolen, and he was then jabbed with a steak knife until he revealed the PIN.
This brings up a question. Did these robbers kill him right after they found out the answer, or they first tried to withdraw money to check if his number was right?
Yes, this is apparently how it happened. The robber tortured him for the PIN, used the card to get $800 from a machine and then returned to stab and shoot him. Apparently the murderer is one of his students (he was a teacher in NY I believe). This happened after Levin asked the class to write their biographies and revealed who his father was.
Off-topic rant follows: Levin Sr is a petty asshole. I used to work for a guy who used to be the president of Time Warner before. One of his retirement perks was a WATS line. When what's-his-name suddenly died and Levin assumed office was to turn off that WATS line. This tells me something. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
