Nothing wrong with your post vikram

.

Anyway, MuscleNerd, Geohot and Chronic-Dev expressed their views on this subject matter on twitter.

I'll quote some of the responses:

This is jodysanders: http://is.gd/4Dlsh Parasite then, parasite now. No need to change when the formula works I guess.

Now, if it was purely for use by the websites run by @jodysanders, I would be less inclined to agree, but still probably would because it's better than stealing the @iphone_dev unlock like they have been doing, but that's not even the case, because @jodysanders said that it would be released to the community as well as "sponsored" by his company (aka, sold by them to people that can't do it themselves). I mean, usually any kind of profiteering of these kinds of things is shady in the eyes of the community, but I just thought I'd "put the word out" and throw in my two cents before he gets flamed for his offer, because I think at this point, it's better than him doing what he is doing now, which is ripping off @iphone_dev and @geohot's unlocks...

I really can´t believe Apple did nothing with this guy. I mean, hack for fun as Dev-Team/Geohot/Chronic is a thing. Make profit with it, that´s nasty.

Maybe you are correct but this news also good for the community.

Oh noes, Jody is back! Just tiresome lol.

I remember that Da Vinci offered us 100.000 $ for the first unlock for 2G back in the days. That was 10 times more $ and we told them to screw. They were that desprate for it, they even offered 150.000k for it after, in cash.

So what happened? Noone took any money. Unlock was released for free.

Why should someone take this charity looking money from fail Jody now? If you don't do such things for fun. Don't do them. If you are able to do them, you can get a well paid job anyways which pays what you need.

this guy is a serious nut cracker. Don't know for sure if that money is for real

even if someone does unlock it.

BTw, why is the forum posts view is in reverse by default for me?

I am astonished to know about such kind of award. Baseband unlock is is quite helpful. Keep it up.

In order to get the 10K he will claim sole ownership and distribution rights.

For those of you not knowing Mr./Mrs. Jodie Sanders, some entertaining read here:

Especially the threads "Stop thief" here at hack0 are just showing off jodie fail

Another article to read is:

The Guardian has never recommended iPhoneUnlockUK.com and it's highly unlikely that we ever would recommend a company which re-sells somebody else's free software without permission
