Wackjob “economist” Paul Krugman, who once proclaimed that markets would “never recover” after Trump’s election victory, is seemingly taking a preemptive approach to possible child porn charges by claiming he’s been hacked. Check out what he tweeted this afternoon:
“Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography. I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me. It’s an ugly world out there.“
The Times is now on the case.

Boomer is as good with tech as he is economics.

Also why put this statement out? Have you been contacted by or reached out to any law enforcement? Seems really bizarre to tweet this. I can’t think of a halfway competent lawyer who’d advise the victim of a horrible thing like this to tweet what you just tweeted.

Unless you are a very wealthy person who hires one or under full-suite VIP protection services through your agent, there are no proactive security notifications like this.

This is all rather ironic, considering he claimed that the “Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself” meme was fueled by paranoid conspiracy theorists.
If we were living in a paranoid fantasy universe, I would be very suspicious about the Epstein suicide, even about whether it was really suicide. And you know what? The Epstein case itself shows that we *are* kind of living in a paranoid fantasy universe
