Interesting that this person was doing some of this while working at Morgan Stanley. It seems that there would be much richer pickings at a Wall Street bank than at TJX.
Also, Watt is now "prohibited from using a computer". Is that possible? How do the feds define "computer"?
- jibiki 17y agoAs far as I can tell, Watt didn't make any money off the scheme.
- sev 17y agoI think the author meant his mother paid off the apartment and forbid him from using a computer. At least that's what I understood.
- anigbrowl 17y agoprohibited from using a computer I know, it sounds like something from 1987. I imagine that right now it's a condition of his bail rather than a sentence subject to appeal.
- jm4 17y agoOf course it's possible! Haven't you ever seen Hackers? The same thing happened to the guy in the movie. duck It's most likely a condition of his bail. After he serves his sentence it will likely be a condition of his probation. I don't think this is uncommon for large scale computer crimes.
