Do you really believe he didn't know what it was being used for? He acknowledged it was using to sniff traffic, if not for credit-cards? What? Account details?

Do you really believe he didn't know what it was being used for? He acknowledged it was using to sniff traffic, if not for credit-cards? What? Account details? Unless there were logs or talks of them doing it for purely academic/educational purposes, which as we know Gonzalez isn't that "sort" of person, it would be unacceptable to think someone of Watt's intellect wouldn't be able to put 2-and-2 together. He's been around the scene. He knows the scene. He's been a part of the scene. I agree in terms of law, this all goes into a very grey and fuzzy area - if he had a better lawyer he may have came out in a different situation. Looking at the recent backlash for hackers, he may be looking at an apology (or even a payout) in the future.
