      Funny thing is most of them are good reviews not bad lol

      It’s funny reading these mundane “the service was great, good steak” kind of review and knowing it’s written by a billionaire drug kingpin 😂

    If you are a Google Maps Contributor, you get points for submitting reviews and photos. Points increase your level. The higher your level, the more free stuff you get. At level 6, I got free socks.

    The reviews often included photos of the restaurants, which sometimes featured photos of the Irish drug lord himself.

    Gonna bet this guy is way high of a level to keep outing himself.

        it’s not a thing anymore. being a maps contributor in the past put you into a little club where you got rewards for reaching guide levels. they used to give away Google drive space , invites to socials, and the socks mentioned in this thread. unfortunately it went away since it’s not a novel feature where they need to drive people to be contribute.

        I’m making a bunch of assumptions but I’m guessing US-specific offer, and maybe I did a wide range of activities? I was in-between jobs in 2017 and scored a lot of points around that time from my wandering.

    “He’s at the Hilton!” “Well then, let’s go there!” “I dunno, it doesn’t sound great. This guy only ranked it 2 stars, and apparently it really hates cops.”

    I like how they found him on LinkedIn first then just searched him up on google to find his other accounts.

    I wonder if his account was recommended to the FBI agent as someone he might know is now using LinkedIn

      Seriously. I’d at least switch my name to angstytits. Delay my reviews until I’d left town at the very least.

    “Can’t stop”?

    “Won’t stop” is more like it.

    It’s a power move.

    The revelation comes two years after a LinkedIn profile associated with Kinahan named “Christopher Vincent”—the same name on the Google account—was uncovered.
