Born in 1996 in Liverpool, England, Amanda Korin began displaying the speech and cognitive reasoning of a two-year old on her third day of life. Her intelligence only grew, and as she got older, her intellectual focus turned to computers. Her father, Albert, a Liverpudlian of Russian descent, was also technologically savvy, and helped nurture Amanda's interests.
Soon after Amanda's ninth birthday, Albert was killed in a terrorist bombing in London. Distraught and low on funds, her mother, Beatrix, brought her with her to the United States for a job. Beatrix became severely depressed and turned to drugs and alcohol, eventually ending up in and out of jail and hospitals. Amanda learned to fend for herself, and when Beatrix was sentenced to rehab, she ended up getting lost in the legal shuffle and began living on her own full-time. Using her computer skills, Amanda hacked thousands of financial institutions across the world, skimming mere pennies from each, in order to provide for herself.
