It's not complicated: the costs of software development are almost entirely in labor. As long as that remains true, older people will be at a severe disadvantage simply because they cost 2-5 times as much as a new hire. Once Moore&#x27

This is a big blank spot in the complaint, which tells me they broke or got around the encryption somehow. If it was in cleartext they would have said so because it would have added to their case.

My other comment is below. Have you read the complaint? The government is claiming that there is essentially 8 years of evidence on that VM, that in addition to the actual CP, there is a long trail of metadata and inode data that would be f

The complaint is here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/6359557/united-states-v... Pages 3-6 detail the VM. Basically, they found a VM on his computer that was encrypted, with an encrypted file in it, that the

You’re making an assumption, that it was weak. What we know is that they found the password on his phone. It could have been quite strong.

I did not reach a forgone conclusion. I reached an informed conclusion after reading the indictment and hearing the explanation by the defendant. That is not a forgone conclusion, that is just a normal, regular, every day conclusion based o

So your argument is that the entire thing is faked? Faked so incredibly well that it will withstand expert analysis at trial? That they faked years of activity (down to the inode level of the filesystem) by this guy and didn't make a s

Do you actually have an argument as to how they would fake the VM in a manner that would withstand the analysis of the defendants experts?

Solid argument, mate.

Look in the mirror, man. You're accusing people, without a shred of evidence, of being government shills simply because you disagree with them.

The IRC logs are minor pieces of evidence. It’s the VM that is hard to explain away.

I didn’t say it was. What I am saying is that, assuming the evidence is as described (and I see no evidence to suggest otherwise short of theoretical exercises in “well it could always be faked”), the description of the VM is awfully convin

Did you read the part about the VM he was (allegedly) hiding?

A hidden iframe was used to install an encrypted VM on the defendants computer, with an encrypted file on it, accessible using a password Only the defendant knew? There are also extensive file system logs indicating a history of use. That w

The indictment goes into some detail on this: https://www.scribd.com/document/379346745/Joshua-Adam-Schult... The guy is clearly guilty.

I’m curious if the password was in a password manager in the phone (or some other leak), or if he was just dumb enough to use the same password on his VM as he used everywhere else.
