It could also be that they're former "hackers" that were caught and turned into informants/employees/slaves in exchange for their eventual freedom. An example of this is Sabu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabu_%28hacktivist%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabu_%28hacktivist%29), who would have been sentenced to 124 years in prison, but instead decided to work for the FBI.
- jlgaddis 13y agoSabu, for example, would almost certainly not be granted a clearance, even at the classified (lowest) level.
- vinceguidry 13y agoIf you have immense personal leverage over someone, you can dispense with the bureaucratic paper pushing. They won't step out of line.
- X4 13y agoHow can he be an asset for the FBI then?
- aaronem 13y agoFairly easily, I should think; since when does any police agency entrust its secrets to its confidential informants?
- streetnigga 13y ago< who would have been sentenced to 124 years in prison This is a number floated as possible years of time, but it is not what he 'would have been' sentenced. We don't know because he decided to turn snitch.
- objclxt 13y ago...it's particularly misleading because you could be sentenced for 124 years for a several dozen different offenses but serve your time concurrently.
- streetnigga 13y agoCorrect, it is several flavors of misleading. I did not even consider that one.
