  >>>I guess hackers should shoot a computer with a gun after hacking and use affluenza in their defense to get away. While I realize this is sarcastic, there's a huge reason I stopped hacking into systems. I know its a felony, I know the government has a hard-on for making examples out of people they catch breaking into systems or doing anything they deem mildly illegal. To me, it's not worth it to test the government and try to show them the error of their ways. He was playing with fire and he knew it. On the bright side, he's still getting what he wants. He's getting plenty of people coming to his defense. His security company is getting a lot of exposure, and people are clamoring for a review of the law his was prosecuted under. His cost is going to be spending three years in jail and having to put that he's been convicted of a felony on every job application until he retires. If you asked him if it was worth it now, what do you think he would say?
