What you do seem to have however, is a great deal of knowledge about your profession: stealing from poker players and abusing loopholes in security systems and poker software. Although you did wrong, I respect that.
You might think that you have nothing to offer right now. I think there is a way. Share your knowledge with us and prevent others from falling prey to the same tricks and getting hurt in the same way that your victims did.
Compose a documentation where you could explain in great detail every method you applied to exploit the system, what other potential dangers there are and how we as a poker players can close the gaps in our security systems to make the online poker world a safer place.
This is your chance to change something for the better.

Don't respect him--none of his scams are particularly clever; you just have to be deviant enough to try things out. He's still scamming with this whole god business.
One of his cheats is to use TeamViewer--or in his words "social engineering." He would chat strategy with a Skype group, then tell members of that group to play some dude he'd say is really weak or crazy. The con is that once they agreed to play the 'weak player,' Justin would ask to sweat them using TV. All the while, Justin would be said 'weak player' and would know all the cards.
Solution: Don't let people you don't "really" know sweat you while playing an unknown opponent.
Canceling transactions after the victim ships is a clear example of a no-brainer scam. Like writing a bad check--you get the store-bought goods, then the store gets stiffed when it goes to cash the check and you have insufficient funds.
Solution: Tell the person asking you to ship that because of Dip **** (Justin) you will not ship-back until funds have cleared. Beggars can't be choosers. If they're asking you to ship, you set the terms of that transaction.
He listed keyloggers first in the list of his means of scamming for one reason--he's a dip**** who wants you to think he's some really smart hacker. A keylogger can be obtained online--he did not make it himself. Simple process of using "social engineering" to convince members of his Skype group to click on (download) something he sends them. He probably got them accustomed to clicking on his screenshots which he would upload to the chat (uploaded screenshots then have to be downloaded); they were then unsuspecting when he sent the keylogger, assuming it to be another screenshot/funny video/w.e.
Solution: Don't click on things that have to be downloaded. You can show your friends your hands using online hand replayers which will pop up in chat as a web link, not a download button. If someone tells you they're sending you a funny video, tell them to upload it to Youtube and you'll watch it (Youtube videos can be set to private).
Hope this helps.
