Tuthmosis and I conspired to prank the internet that I was in jail. The picture used is from the German DDR museum. Two weeks ago I put it on my personal FB page and had worried friends contacting me asking if I was okay. Realizing the power of the photo, I came up with the idea to have a hoax with two stages: (1) Me in jail, and (2) Tuth going "mad" with power.
I expect many of you to be annoyed, and I hope Tuth and I didn't betray your trust with the prank, but the security and viability of the forum was never compromised and the picture was just too good not to use. Credit goes to Tuth for his "new rules" (http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-33...#pid667804 ), which---if you were in on the joke---was quite amusing. I also did not expect the story to be as believed as it was, since there are many flaws in the picture that suggest it's not a real jail cell, but on the other hand, the prospect of me going to jail is not unexpected. If you are pissed off, I recommend you read Tuth's bulletins to see the humor in the prank (the "bill me later" option was my favorite).
I do sincerely appreciate the thoughts of concern of my Polish imprisonment. Now of course I really will be jailed and no one will believe it because of this false jailing accusation. In case of a real "involuntary absence" from the forum, I trust Tuth to continue moderation efforts. For many years he has selflessly helped me maintain the community we have and not actually gone mad with power.
On a positive note, we managed to troll the tub of estrogen Manboobz and his readers:

Lastly, I did enjoy the teaching moment of how a coup could really happen. The forum is a microcosm of a real "nation," so to speak. I wouldn't want to piss off its citizens too much, so there will be no more pranking from me, but I hope with this one you were at least entertained.

Roosh is probably facing something like 1 year maximum... with Internet access. He'll be able to manage everything as usual and write for ROK and his blog.
