    The element of danger is always there. The kid could pull out a gun or maybe has dangerous people ready and willing to defend him.

    Do you know how the boxer was able to find the guy's address? Anybody know?

    Yeah he asked his other twitter followers to look it up.

    He said he would give $1000 Euros for anyone who would find it for him.

    I read the article on Yahoo and they didn't reveal how he got the address. So I came here and went through the first 2 pages of this thread....nothing. Call me a lazy **** but I'm not gonna read every post after 2 pages to find the info.

    $1000 Euros

    ^Makes no sense.



    It's pretty simple how he found him...

    His twitter name gives away two things straight away - year of birth and first name

    Secondly the friends he follows on twitter gives away what town or place (london, manchester etc) as they will probaly have this info on their profiles - ALSO one of his mates could easily have given him away if they thought they were getting £1000.. I'd do it - Both of them are propaly at the pub now spending £1000 just for a little trolling on twitter!

    FINALLY the key part of the puzzle (if his friends didn't give him away for a quick buck - or what they thought would be a quick buck) - Facebook, You can easily look up any of his friends on facebook and find his profile through theirs (first name)...

    Full name, age and general location is all that's needed to look somebody up - if you havn't already found out where they live by the above methods - These methods will give whats needed though.

    If he actually gave someone £1000 for that then **** me if only I was following him on twitter.
