A New Jersey woman who was found bound with zip ties in the woods and marked with a derogatory phrase referencing President Donald Trump is now accused of staging the attack.

Natalie Greene, 26, is charged with conspiracy to convey false statements and hoaxes and making false statements to federal law enforcement.

According to court documents, Greene and a co-conspirator called 911 late July 23 and claimed that three men had attacked them on a trail at the Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve. The co-conspirator told dispatchers the men referenced Greene by name and mentioned her job in politics. According to reports, Greene previously worked for a Republican congressman.

Me: I wonder how they know it was staged

But investigators later concluded Greene had staged the attack, alleging she paid a body modification artist earlier to make it look like she was injured. Officers also found zip ties in Greene’s vehicle similar to those used on her, and the co-conspirator’s phone had been used two days earlier to search “zip ties near me."

Lol

That doesn't mean anything. They can request your browsing history directly from your ISP

Unless you know something we don't, your ISP shouldn't know much about your browsing history

The ISPs don't know what exactly you saw on the site because of SSL, but they're processing your traffic and have complete visibility of which IPs you visit. If you keep the default ISP DNS server they also know which domain names. As far as I know, the only way to keep your ISP completely in the dark is to use VPN, plus a third-party DNS server, plus DNS encryption.

THE ZIP TIES ARE COMING FROM THE HOUSE.

Did... did this idiot think they weren't going to go to the hospital with her and then when the ER doc tried to clean the wound it... wiped away...that the police were going to just think the 3 guys where just wanting to have a dress up tea party or something.

Oh no no, she committed to the scam harder than that. She paid a body modification artist to cut her up.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

That makes it even funnier. She now has permanent reminders of how fucking stupid she is.

"She had lacerations on her face, neck, chest and shoulder"

Scarification is a form of body mod

[–] nullroot@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

A body mod artist does literally wound you, it's not paint. It's plugs cut out, sub dermals inserted, or just ears pierced if you're vanilla, that's the sort of thing they do.

ER staff smells that BS in seconds of opening her mouth.

Lemme stop you right there.

[–] SupraMario@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago

Lol fair enough

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wasn't aware zip ties were that hard to find for some people

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess when you order everything online your whole life, you may never develop a sense of what stores and what departments items are usually sold in. 🤔

I'm a regular customer at home improvement stores, and I make it a point to occasionally just go wander down aisles I haven't been down in a while and just browse through what's available.

It's not uncommon for me to exclaim, "Oh! I didn't know THAT existed?" or "Oh! THAT'S what that's called/where to get those!". Other times it's, "What on earth is THAT for?!?" but then 6 months later I'll be like, "BRB, gotta go get one of those things."

I'm of the opinion that even people that don't own/maintain their own home would benefit from the esoteric knowledge of what can be found on the bottom shelf in the back corner of their local home improvement stores. I don't care what your hobby or passion is. If you don't frequent the home improvement stores, there's probably something there that you can repurpose for your own benefit that you'll wish you knew existed a year ago.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I totally agree. Browsing seems to be going away with moving from physical to algorithmically presented online stores.

Geeez, have some respect for yourself and throw yourself down a hill and get some real cuts/bruises. Its like they made no effort to cover any tracks.
