  There are zero details on this story...calm down..

    There are absolutely details: > Motherboard verified that a detainee called Marcus Hutchins, 23, was being held at the Henderson Detention Center in Nevada early on Thursday. So at least we know he was detained. This one relies on a friend, so presumably it's "less verified" as far as these things go: > A few hours after, Hutchins was moved to another facility, according to a close personal friend. I don't know if Motherboard has tried to contact Hutchins, though.

      Detained for what? You don't know. I mean, I agree, detainment isn't usually the way to make friends, but those are not specific details of the incident.

        We should have overwhelming confidence that people are detained for good reasons. Given US's track record, it is entirely reasonable to think that it's not the case, until demonstrated otherwise by proof brought forward by the agressor.

        > Detained for what? You don't know. That's rather my concern.

  Or, maybe, there's a legit good or bad reason that he is unreachable? But let's just jump to the conclusion that he was blackbagged and in a CIA black site.

    what is a "legit bad reason"
    • strictnein 9y ago
      He broke a law?
      • rovr138 9y ago
        Arrest warrant?
        • strictnein 9y ago
          Yeah, sure, I've got it right here... oh wait, I'm just a random commenter on a forum.

        Why would that prevent him from securing legal representation?
