Words like "there is something more important for me than my life" can not be thrown around without some kind of proof baking it. This one point makes the whole essay not worth reading. Sorry.

I really hope this is some kind of hoax and no real company was operating like that in 2010.

Yeah, it is a good point. He switches the medium from phone to email and does mention possibility of the whole thing being illegal. I his response is in a way more agressive than Jobs and the superficial politeness is just that -- superfi

I find it cute how clueless mathematicians and physicists are about how clueless we (programmers) are. Weak crypto? Assume it is a puzzle!
