Do you think you could track someone down if you wanted to? How about for 5 grand?

I doubt anyone who's doing this is really in it for the money. It's mostly Wired geeks who are going to use this as their new internet time killer at work for a few weeks, until one of them realizes dude in in their city and they go track him down because it's fun to play bounty hunter in a risk free simulation.

 

Or Casek will tell me where to find him, and it will work in to my loosely planned travels around the country over the next few weeks.

It is not all that fantastic either. My attorney costs 350 per hour. My charge out rate before I lost my job was 120 per hour. 62.50 is cheaper than plumbers cost in my area. If this is in the bay I imagine that you can hardly get your lawn mowed for that price.

 

My company used to bill my time out at $60 an hour for doing legal research and investigations in 2005. $62.50 seems about right for this kind of work, but it's on the low side adjusting for inflation and cost of living and then you get into what the attorney charges the client for your work...that can be anywhere from double to quadruple the amount. Not bad scratch for making a phone call.

 

I'm saying though...if this guy is leaving any kind of paper trail someone is going to find him. If he doesn't switch up his habits and manages to not be found then he's extremely lucky. If he gets a prepaid phone and pays for everything in cash and lays low and switches up his appearance, he's got a fighting chance.

I will work on it soon.
