I'm sure there's inspecific biting precedent about using an overabundance of caution in writing about any jokes you might have made to any other person, maybe especially in a legal system where even the risk of having legal proceedings can cripple you for the rest of your life, but the guy literally said "No, don't. I was just joking" a few moments later.

But this transcript is a conversation between a business owner and a hacker, where the hacker is likely in violation of the CFAA, and the owner is threatening legal action if the hacker doesn’t cease and desist. Once you cover that ground in a conversation, resist the urge to be funny.
