Crystal Cox, yes she's a scammer...

The proof is in the pudding and people tend to hoist themselves by their own petard.


Crystal Cox, who claimed to be a blogger-journalist, has shown through her own actions that she is not one, but really a scammer and extortionist.


Please see the smear campaign she is attempting against the 3 year old daughter of a friend of mine:

Even if she were a journalist, that does not protect false speech:

Despite the online harassment, Marc Randazza is a man of principal and noted today on Facebook:

It is extortion. But... ...I am trying to "Walk the walk" when it comes to the First Amendment. The typical response would be criminal charges or civil complaints. I want to show that we can cure bad speech with good speech. Let lies and smears fade in the sunlight of truth. I've preached it my whole life. I need to stay on the path now more than ever.”


Thankfully the light of truth and justice is shining very brightly on Crystal Cox now.
