Dusbin Cook aka Raid aka Duckfart doesn't come off too good here.

He comes off like a dog in heat humping this reporter's leg for an
interview after other virus writers turned her down.

Even his virus writing buddies aren't too thrilled with this vicious
p.o.s. known as Raid aka Dustin Cook.

When no one else wanted the publicity, he "volunteered"* to brag about
his virus writing/passing "accomplishments". (read: he got a hard-on
to become famous (infamous). Since he can't write any program of any
value, he figures he'll get his fame through virus writing/passing.)

Remember how he stated no one could 'prove' he passed toadie around?

He doesn't think having it for download on his page quite meets his
'standard' of passing a virus. Well, we all know he's sociopathic
####-for-brains lying delusional prick, so why should this extra
delusion surprise us?

The abundant glee expressed in his e-mail, to wit - "Because of the
way it works, the entire world will see it. Er, well, I hope."

In other posts he also revels in what he thinks toadie is doing.

Anyway, I don't think that a jury presented with his posts regarding
whether or not he passed a virus would have any doubt in their minds.

He'd be toast.

Anyway, here's the story of how he failed this interview - the same
way he manages to fail every other damn thing in life which others find
rather simple to accomplish.

Article Excerpts:
What drives coders like RAID? During an informal late-night Internet
Relay Channel chat, he offered several clues. While his buddies --
guys with handles like CyberYoda and VirusBust and Knowdeth -- were
standoffish, RAiD was clearly itching for a piece of the spotlight.
---------
TWO DAYS LATER, AN ANONYmous e-mail arrives, with a file "toadio.zip"
- --attached. "You get a sneak peek of the next virus that will be
released eight hours from now," it reads. "You'll find it's a bit more
complex than a Word macro virus, while enabling excellent worm
functions.

"Because of the way it works," the missive continues, "the entire
world will see it. Er, well, I hope." The message is signed, "Regards,
RAiD [Slam]." As of yet, the entire world hasn't seen Toadie, RAiD's
latest virus. But a few people have. By late July, posts under the
subject header "REQ. toadie vi.o help" begin cropping up at
alt.comp.virus, and RAiD is happily holding court. "Does anyone have
any concrete reports on how far and widespread the Toadie virus is?"
he asks. "We've seen four or possibly five people on Usenet infected,
but has anyone been able to actually confirm any infection?"

- --------

ACCORDING TO OPIC, RAID IS IN the minority of virus writers today, one
of a small number who are unapologetic about "opening [Pandora's] box
and loving it." From what she's seen of RAiD's activities, Sarah
Gordon agrees. "He's not very representative at all of the current
crop," she says. "There are malicious people out there, but they're
not accepted around us," says Evul, a twenty-nine-year-old coder from
the group Ultimate Chaos, whose members frequently associate with the
CodeBreakers. "With me, it's about creating and sharing your
creativity, as opposed to maliciously or subversively using it on
somebody." SPooky, 17, one of Opic's compatriots in CodeBreakers, quit
writing in April, when he examined the log files sent back to him by
one of his viruses, Marker, and learned that it had infected
organizations like Blue Cross-Blue Shield. "There have to be limits,
and I think I have found mine," he explained on his Web site at the
time.
