- dimgl 5y agoI actually don’t want to see stuff like this on Hacker News. But I don’t make the rules.
- melenaboija 5y agoI hope it does
- fisf 5y agoI hope it fits in a courtroom first and foremost.
- marcinzm 5y agoThe crimes were mostly committed in foreign countries of which neither party is a resident and which the parties were only visiting for a short duration of time. Countries whose language the victim may not speak fluently or at all. The chance of getting the local police to care is low and even if they did the cost of flights to testify at trials would be beyond the means of the victim.

- calylex 5y agoHackers care about 99% of what everyone else also cares about (you know them operating in the realm of humans.) What a ridiculous point.
- phildenhoff 5y agoYes. It's important that as a society we come to terms with the fact that historically, and now, a lot of people use whatever little power and fame they have to abuse others. We can't sit by and let this happen.
