I haven't heard much about Kimble lately (until now), but I remember he used
to be known mostly for stealing and selling PBX codes and for some social
engineering at the Munich airport.  If you take a careful look at the hype
concerning him available on the Internet and trace it back far enough, you'll
see that much of it was generated by him .  At least the English language
material; I don't read German well enough to be able discern the origin of
those articles.

The noblest study of Man is Man, says Man.

Cheers,
