this is a very condensed version of the story intended to introduce newcomers to the Chip-chan case

[The following is what has been interpreted from several sources from its original Korean into English. Green text indicates FACTS, Blue text indicates DISPUTED TRANSLATIONS, Red text indicates DISPUTED CLAIMS]

>found Chip-chan on webcam thread
on 4chan
>thought she was dead
>not dead, sleeping
>sleeping for long periods of time without moving and in very uncomfortable positions
>try to find out what the signs (that are strewn about her home) say - written in Korean.
>they say something about ["no sleep" from 7-10pm because of a cop named "P"]
>anonymous finds her blog, which talks about some corrupt police officer stalking her and implanting a "verichip" in her ankle, [which causes her to fall asleep].
>she has webcams set up throughout her home, [that she set up herself] and is aware of
>she rarely, if ever, leaves her home and does nothing other than surf the web and sleep (often for 12+ hours at a time). She appears unkempt, in poor health and extremely lethargic.
>she's been doing this since 2009
>she claims that she cannot leave the apartment due to the chip, [which will make her fall asleep]. She doesn't try to contact the police, for fear "P" will find out.
>if her story is true, she is being held captive by a corrupt cop called "P" in her home - due to the chip implanted in her ankle, controlling (or monitoring) her sleep patterns. [She falls asleep if she tries to escape]. The webcams may also be monitored by "P" as well.
>if her story is false, she is most likely a paranoid schizophrenic with narcolepsy. However some parts of her story still don't exactly add up. (Such as the fact that she does not exhibit the usual traits of a paranoid schizophrenic. In addition, she is seemingly comfortable about being watched - also uncharacteristic of the disorder. Consider how narcoleptic individuals fall asleep in intermittent periods and at random - unlike her 14+ hour sleep sessions. Also, how she is able to live on her own comes into question, which remains unexplained.)
>the weird thing is, the more you watch and the more you read into it, the more her story seems plausible.

Korea and Verichips
(secondary source)
South Korea received a very large importation of Verichips from the United States (note also that Verichip is a company name, and could refer to other products besides the Verichip identification chip).

>>> R-THEORY <<<

- Chip-Chan claims that the stream stops sometimes between 7-10pm (Korean time)
- Some speculate this is the key to why "P" is keeping her under house arrest:
"Does that mean someone else is controlling her sleep, pausing the cameras so no one sees when he's there and doing whatever business he has with the girl when she's asleep?" - Anonymous

- But what if it's just lag?
"[Lag] would make the actual cam lag, and make it jump from 22 sec to 25 sec between two frames, but it doesn't.
It goes 22-23-24-25 in like a second; that's not how lag behaves. It doesn't quickly show all the frames - it updates slower the more viewers. It doesn't fast forward just because it's overmaxed, it would skip frames, not fast forward." - Anonymous

-
From Chip-chan's own blog (the Jinbo blog):
"But the psycho cop P disables the cam before he attacks me, sometimes changes the direction of the focus of cam showing the closet." - Chip-chan

Chip-Chan Tech Report


submitted by Firebyte Shuffle
- sauce http://pastebin.com/MxifV4tN

== Introduction ================

I see technological concepts thrown around by chip-chan's followers quite a lot. Knowing just enough about RFID and radio to be dangerous (I am by NO means an expert, and please correct me if any of this is wrong!), I'd like to clarify a couple things. First off, what exactly is an RFID chip? Well, it's a device with an antenna in it that can broadcast and receive information via radio waves. There's two kinds, passive, and active. A *passive* chip is the cheaper kind. It is *passive* because it has no power source of its own on-chip. When an RFID reader passes by it with a "Hello, passive RFID tag, what do you have to say" signal, the actual electromagnetic wave itself is used to power the device for long enough to respond to the RFID reader. The advantage? It's super cheap, and can be used indefinitely since it's power is external. The disadvantage? Your RFID reader must be right up near the darn thing in order to for the electromagnetic (EM) wave to have enough oompf to power it. This is the kind of chip used in supermarkets, and frequently in pets. Then there's *active* chips, which are generally more powerful and expensive, and have an on-chip power source. The benefit: They're always broadcasting and they have a much longer range. The drawback: They're expensive and *their batteries run out.*

Now, if we're trying to put chippy to sleep, all we need is an *antenna* to receive some kind of signal to tell the evil sleep machine to start... doing whatever it does.

== RTLS via RFID =================

So why an RFID tag at all? Well, the purpose of that would be to make the sleep machine into a real time locating system (RTLS) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_locating_system That way we can track chippy all the time. This means we're using an active chip. Why? Because we don't know where chippy will be, so it must have powerful range. Passive chips just don't have the kick to be able to transmit long distance. How long distance? Well according to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID#Operation, up to about 656 feet, line-of-sight. If we want to do it through a standard wall, we could squeeze out maybe ~131 ft of range (assuming a linear relationship, based on this article http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/view/2643/2). Not bad. The issue? It runs on batteries! and it's HUGE. Take a look at this video which uses the Parco UWB RFID active tag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeNj5zgXnlo
that's posted in 2012, which means that's about as good as it gets as of right now. However, if we are going this route, we can use it both for RTLS AND for sending sleep commands since the tag has good range, power, and runs conveniently somewhere in the same band as 802.11. Sound familiar? That's what your wifi card uses to communicate, making an insidious mind controlling programmer's life might easy, and letting us use commercial off-the-shelf parts to develop the evil police officer's control system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11

But it doesn't add up I say! Yes. You *could* use a UWB active RFID tag "leg-side" for easy communications, but the issues outweigh the benefits. That thing is *HUGE.* It would take a really damn serious amount of squeezing to fit it in. And that's just the communications module! You still need room for the actual sleep inducer and microcontroller! Even scaling back to a shorter range (~300ft and lower, line of sight http://www.rfidjournal.com/article/view/1088) active UWB tag, you can go down to about 1 square inch. That's more feasible, but smaller tag means less range AND less room for a battery. How long has chip-chan been posting for? Wouldn't the battery on an active tag have run out by now? Yes, arguably the officer could come in every now and then, cut her leg open and replace the battery, but that's just not believable, imo.

Unless unless unless, it's a passive tag. "But wait," you say, "Wouldn't the cop have to be square up against her to use something like that?" Good. You've been listening. That is the case UNLESS there's an RFID scanner array hidden in her apartment somewhere. What that'll do, is keep the possibility of chip chan's leg being near an antenna at any given time very high, and that tech has no size constraint (within reason) and if, say, placed in a wall, could be powered right off the building's standard wall electricity. In addition to that, I'd go the whole 9 yards and throw in an antenna in the wall such as an 802.1x system that would allow me to check chippy's location from the street. With a big ol' antenna, the evil police officer could check her location at any time.

So that's feasible, it would keep the chip size nice and tiny, and would last forever. An easy to miss detail here is that we could only know chippy's location if she was IN THE APARTMENT.

Alternatively, chippy might have a gps system instead of an RFID tag inside her, however I know very little about GPS systems except for one thing: they require line-of-sight to the sky. That's right. Your gps will not work if you're inside and not near a window. So if I were an evil mastermind, I wouldn't use it. And it would require even more power.

So let's review. In our hypothetical system, we've got real-time localization via a passive RFID tag, an array of RFID scanners and possibly a router or repeater http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_repeater in the wall.

== Command Antenna & Microcontroller =====================================

However, since we couldn't opt for the active RFID tag, we can't use that to send sleep commands. We could just use a regular old *receive-only* antenna, like the one in your car. If it's straight, it could run all the way up her leg. And then, all that's left is the guts of the device. It would need a tiny computer. And computers get tiny. http://www.robotshop.com/Images/big/en/sfe-arduino-fio.jpg Pictured left is the Arduino Fio microcontroller. It's a teeny tiny computer that works as a prototyping platform for amateur developers before they're ready to lock their system into a chip. That would be the brains. It would take the signal from the antenna, process it, and then start up the voodoo machine that puts chippy to sleep. Still, this too would need power. Couldn't we just power it by inductance just like our passive rfid tag? Highly doubtful. That would take some real sustained power to keep the system running long enough to work it's evil magic on chip chan. As for batteries, even a car battery wouldn't be able to keep going and going long enough to knock out chippy for all these years. Think about, say, your iPod, and how quickly THAT runs out of juice. That'd be small enough to implant, but it doesn't go the distance.

== Sustainable Power Source ============================

So how do we power chip chan's evil sleep machine? Here's a few ways other devices go the distance with sustainable long-term power:
1) Kinetic Power: You might already be wearing the answer around your wrist. http://www.squireswatches.com/Question%20in%20Time/BATTERY-LESS%20WATCHES.htm These wrist watches are powered by movement. A simmilar system could be powered by chippy walking around. It would take some doing though, depending on how much juice it takes to put our poor heroine under. Arguably, it's possible.
2) Friction Power: In a much less pleasant scenario, the system could rub against her muscles when they contract, causing lots of pain, muscle deterioration, and evetually her body building a protective bubble around the device rendering it useless. This one's no good.
3) Blood Power: "Whoa whoa whoa. BLOOD POWER? Someone's been playing too much Deus Ex." Well believe it or not, science is actually working on a system like this. http://www.nanowerk.com/news/newsid=22126.php Now if you're willing to take my word, or do a little detective work on your own, last time I checked this form of technology couldn't quite produce enough energy to be used in practical applications, but I can't quite seem to find the article I originally read on this... So, unless you, my dear reader, prove me wrong, I'm going to eliminate this as a possibility. However one eerie consequence of the use of too much blood sugar would be Hypoglycemia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoglycemia  which can lead to falling unconscious...
4) Other methods I won't consider can be read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_harvesting
I don't consider them because to me, they don't seem feasible for implantation, or just don't fit the given situation.

So it looks like Kinetic Power is the one feasible explanation.

== Black-Box Sleep Inducer ===========================

I will not go into guessing as to how a sleep inducing device, if one does indeed exist in chip-chan, would actually knock her out, since I can't even pretend to know that. I will posit a guess. If there is indeed some long-term system, I'd say it's a brain implant. That's the best I can do.

== Dead Man Switch ===================

We've got very far in developing a feasible system! We're well on our way to having a fully-designed system. Better order some chloroform on amazon, we'll be ready to roll this thing out in no time! But what if somehow our antenna breaks, or chippy destroys the RFID scanner array, or worse, the command antenna is compromised. In this scenario, I would incorporate a dead man switch system. If the command or RTLS antennae are destroyed for a long amount of time, the system would immediately activate and knock chippy out until she can be retrieved (or dies :x).


== Summary of Chip System ==========================
X Implated Chip System
> > Passive Millitary-grade RFID tag for RTLS
> > Kinetic Energy Harvesting system in as many limbs as possible
> > Microcontroller w/ dead-man switch feature
> > Black-Box Sleep Inducer

> > gps???

X Communications Array In Apartment
> > Passive RFID Scanner Array for RTLS

== Price Range ===============
Specialist programmers, electrical engineers, surgeons, access to highly specialized hardware, AND development time means we're talking mafia payroll. This ain't quite something one could just cook up in their garage.

== Defeating the System & Escaping ===================================

Damn. Odds don't look good for chippy. However, it is potentially possible to break free. We're going to have to hope that there isn't a dead man switch here. If it was me, liberty or death, but it's not. So first off, here is how I would try to beat the system if I was chippy.
1) Get an RFID detector app for your smartphone. Yes. really. You can just download it off the app store. First, scan your body to locate the tag. Next, set it into a receiving mode (if available), and try to find any scanners in the apartment. So we've located the tag on the body. For this example, let's say it's in her ankle.
2) Get copper wire, and weave a mesh into a sock. This will create what's called a Faraday Cage and should block any EM waves, whether they're GPS or RFID. If you want, go the whole nine yards and do pants and a longsleeve shirt as well. If you really want to go above and beyond, weave it into a knit hat as well. That should cover all the bases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_Cage
3) Purchase an electrical stun gun. Disassemble a computer hard drive and keep the rare earth magnet contained within. http://www.reuk.co.uk/OtherImages/inside-a-hard-disk-drive.jpg
4) Prepare to bug out. You're going to want to spend time preparing to leave. Start making comments online that you'll be going to a movie at some point. That will be your bug out day. Continue posting until the big day. Collect as much money as you can until then.
5) Bug out. Don your covert faraday cage clothes and either
a) get on the subway and ride it as far as possible. Before using this tactic, there will be cameras. In the hood of a sweatshirt, put an IR LED system in such as one described here http://hacknmod.com/hack/blind-cameras-with-an-infrared-led-hat/ to blind any security cameras in the subway line. By being underground, any RFID or GPS systems implanted in you will be totally useless.
b) Get a taxi to take you as far as you're able to spend. This way, if there is a dead man switch, and it trips, the taxi driver may hopefully continue moving you to your destination until he realizes you are unconscious and bring you to a hospital. With the dead man switch down, it's not going up again. Hopefully in an attempt to diagnose you, they'll notice the device.
If you have a cell phone, leave it in the taxi or on the subway. If someone is using it for gps, hopefully someone else will steal the phone and become a decoy for you.
6) Once you've gone as far as you can go, enter a public restroom, such as one at a gas station. Enter a stall, and lock it. Run the rare earth magnet across your entire body slowly. This may destroy the chip. But just to be safe... Remove all metallic jewlery and the faraday clothes. Lie down with your head fully against the ground. Find the approximate location of the device and apply the stun gun to it. The antenna should hopefully conduct to the microcontroller, and a stun gun should have enough voltage to render the device useless. This may cause electrical burns at the location of the chip and antennae. Be prepared to treat such an injury. Also note that most stun guns release confetti with a serial number printed on them when they are fired. If this is the flavor of stun gun you are using, then be sure to tape a plastic bag around the front of the gun. This should catch the confetti. If any remains on the floor, pick it up. Be meticulous. Your life depends on it.
7) Continue moving. Stay out of crowded areas. Avoid cameras in stores. Avoid public transit from here on out. Avoid people. Lay low for a nice, long time. Do NOT immediately attempt to leave the country. Take on a new identity and slowly re-integrate with society.

cheers.

Chip-chan Youtube Video Translations

This was found and sent to me by Jelly-St1ck

The following are rough translations of several Youtube videos uploaded by Chip-chan

Only the first 3 have been translated thus far, it seems

First Video

The reason for stalking
Don't you know the police have better things to do then to stalk you?
I know the police is a busy job, but there are no other job that is as carefree as being a policeman
I've been to most police station in Seoul, there are many detective squad, cop squad, several many of those squads, so many teams
there are numerous squads under the national force, but they are only busy for a moment when there is a crime.
Normally they watch movie, smoke, talk, sleep, then work only once awhile.
The reason a criminal commits a crime is because their personality is evil. If a personality is evil, they will commit a crime no matter how busy their life may be like this guy, if they have bad temper (i think she's referring to P, not sure).
A nice person does not commit crimes.
lied.
What dark things does that police have to do these things to you?
Yoo YoungChul and Kang HoSoonn, what do they have to benefit from killing the innocent girls?
The Arsonist Go Shiwon, what could he have benefited from setting the fire and killing the girls?
The reason the crime was committed was the same, the criminal's evil nature.
This pig does this to because of his evil nature. The stalking comes from his arrogant nature
There are no other reason but those. He cannot do this to me if he wasn't evil.
In a same situation, an evil person will commit the crime while the good person does not. No matter how serious the situation, without the evil nature a crime cannot be committed.
The reason for his stalking is because he is arrogant.
I tried to persecute him and he gets angry, mobilized the police force, the pig used sirens, walkie talkies, all these noises to scare me
He does this to me when no one's around so there are no witnesses so the convictions against corrupt police p were rejected
He does these to me in anger, that how dare i do this to a cop
He did that only in that neighborhood, so normally a person would move out from there, but I couldn't even attempt to move due to all my luggage
Even if I suffered, i thought he'd eventually stop, this stupid stubborn mind of mine. He could have forgotten all about the incident if I just went away.
But I stupidly held my place even if he was harassing me, for over a year
And while keeping tabs on me 24/7 by the harassments, he developed fascinations towards me.
She had more then enough in cash of inheritance from her parents, and she lived alone so she probably had no family, so he believed he could easily take my money away so he started the stalking
A weak girl who lives alone, a easy prey for a criminal.
When it comes to stalking, it's perceived as a boy-girl thing, as in how pretty is the girl but it is absurd
Never seen his face, i just know he looks like an aged person
This person is arrogant, so he's sending me messages to give him the inheritance then commit suicide
Since I'm spreading this through internet, his priority is to have me dead then the money
He's afraid of being exposed
What would anyone think if I said a police is stalking me?
They call me a mental patient
A completely normal person is being treated as a mental patient; there was nothing I can do but endure all the crimes
I'm sure there is another person aside from me who's also suffered from a corrupt police official. I'm pretty sure they tried to tell someone at first, but people would say 'do police have nothing better to do but bother you?' and eventually suicide after suffering.
For 13 years, I have always thought about suicide.
Enduring all his crimes, I finally reached out to the internet. Look at all the bad comments on many of my online pages.
The psychos changed their id's and leave these comments; I continue despite it all.
They say, The corrupt police official p does this to you because you deserve it, because you're no good.
These lie, they treat me like a mental patient so they say whatever they want.
I don't know what they've heard from the pig, so I don't know what lies are being said. If you were to fall for his lies, you guys would believe him too and avoid me.
It's ridiculous for a policeman to stalk, so he uses this advantage in order to stalk me. Depending on the situation, he uses different lies
You guys may think you yourselves may not fall for that pig's lie but there isn't a single person who have not believed him.
No one mentions his lies to me and completely avoids me, so I don't know what lies from him they are believing.
So far no one has no fall for his lie.
No one, except one.
That person fell for the pig's lie at first, but after speaking to me, the person realized that the pig lied.

Second Video


The Duration of Stalking Period
It's very trivial. When they aren't being stalked, they wait for some kind of heavy guilt
but if you watch the news, crime happen over minor faults
They murder after following you for three hours because you looked at them in a wrong way
Kill you for not giving them something, for not giving you fifty dollars
The same for me


But I can't even remember if I saw this guy there
Couple months later the pig saw me in the streets and greeted me happily
But I didn't like him because of bad memories of being dragged to the station because of him,
so i cussed him right there by accusing him of keeping tabs on me and stalking me secretly because he begrudge me
and that lead to bigger things.
 he next day this person used the police force to harass me. he does this whenever I'm alone, so this ended in a standstill without a witness and he harassed me even more for trying to convict him.
If a police heard this, they would believe me. I heard when someone under their district challenges one of their man, the entire police force of that district will harass that one person until they move away.
You might not believe this, but this is what I heard from a trusted source.

One of the people living there, Park SangMan family, were aware of the stalkings but did not report this because they bought the lies.
Not because of threats, but because they believed the lies.
If I can convinced this family that it was lie, then I can have witness to the stalkings. Help me convince them

Third Video

I am being stalked
no one believes me so i can't file complaints
I'll be harassed until I die
He's a paranoid, psycho pig
I can escape by revealing the truth so I'm broadcasting
The reason for broadcasting is to find the people who are capable of helping me
If that's not possible, spread my broadcasts so many more people can be aware about this
And even if that's not possible, at least listen to my broadcasts
The necessary documents to reveal the truths are in my blogs so at least spend an hour to read them over
If you guys listened to that pig, like Park Sangman, Kang KyungHui Kim DongGyu, you'll believe in that pig's lie also.
Normal people, news reporters, there isn't a single person who believes in his lies.
Everyone falls for the lies and avoids me
They buy his lies and thinks I'm crazy for broadcasting about his stalkings online.
That is not true. I am moving from places to places in order to escape his harassing.
He's a criminal mastermind. The way he lies is, buy saying she is a dangerous woman, she believes she is being stalked and puts the blames on me
He says I put everything on the internet to slander him and harass him, so everyone avoids me thinking they'd get harassed by me also.
And when I do get a witness, he goes after them like crazy to convince them, and they believe his lies because they see me fight back to the real harassers, so they mistaken me as the one harassing the people.
It is true i did first fought back originally, and it is also true I've been stalked for 13 years
From Australia to Canada, I've tried to escape but he found me
For 6 month I tried going to higher ups and begged them to help me but I've given up. Everyone avoids me and call ME the stalker. I thought higher authorities would protect and help me but it's no use.
Whoever listens to that pig's lies believe him and fall for it. They won't tell me what lies they've been told so it frustrated me but after being stalked for 13 years, one of the audience told me
That this person, at first, believe the lies but after listening to my words, they know that the pig lied so they believe me now
He lied differently to each people but to this person, he said you'll also get harassed too, that girl has mental problems and is 100% lying. If you cross her the wrong ways, you'll get harassed like I am being.
Don't ever believe in any bit of it. He uses confident lies in order to make you fall for them. He says I'm married and have children and says absurd lies. He says he doesn't even know this woman, but he reads everything on my blog and is fully aware of me.

(something about being married, not sure what she's saying)


I don't even know all these people that are lying on my page, but this is evidence that the pig conspired a bunch of people against me.
People fall so easily for the lies. You hear about how easily people blow all their money away by easy lies from voice phishings, but it's true. These people fall for the lies, so they won't be my witnesses
