It's not like he's seen a dramatic, or possibly even noticeable, degradation in the quality of his life. He just traded his life of anonymity for one of fame and constant media attention with some restrictions on where he can travel freely. I'm sure if he'd turned the data over to a respected journalist, they'd could have managed the release of information just as well. Instead he's kept the data to himself and chooses what to release allowing him to frame the story. Why should we trust him? I mean his biggest achievement is stealing from his employer.
