Why indeed...my off-the-cuff guess for why is for obscene piles of cash and some minor ego gratification? After reading the interesting article, I commend him for the creativity and sheer audacity of his social and sometimes-technical exploits. He is, obviously, a very smart and talented individual...my hat's off to him for not allowing a prison stint to wreck a very lucrative career. That was perhaps his best hack of all. [edits]
