No, the point is not to trust anybody (more realistically: vigorously evaluate your Web of Trust), but you should especially not trust someone who is known to be untrustworthy.

Don't say that! The Government will protect us from the scum Kim or whatever his name. Be a bit more appreciative!

And in all seriousness I hate this world where the Government can do whatever it wants to you including spying you on all you do online, but you's rather get pissed off because of a guy pirating software. Get some perspective!

Who said that I care about him pirating software? I'm just as mad about government spying but that doesn't mean that I put my privacy in the trust of a known conman.

Just because he is opposed to the US government doesn't make him a hero.

The service he is advertising is valuable, but he's duplicitous. Why should I trust him?
