We don't even know how smart this guy is, as his 'hack' doesn't seem to have been very elaborate at all. It seems more like incompetence on the part of the US than anything else.
Why it is so sad is that he's probably going to fall victim to the middle ages styled penal and justice system of the United States, and be destroyed as a person in the process. Just the mere fact that they are claiming notional damages of 700,000.00 that they can never actually prove, and using that as the basis for incarcerating him is enough to tell the direction in which this is going. This isn't some sort of claim or civil suit where the judge needs to look at punitive damages, we're talking about a man's life, and from what we have read there was zero damage actually done. Instead there is a lot of talk about the damage that could have, might have, possibly,assumed and theoretically been done. Why don't they assume they extradited him and don't. 2009/8/3 Maureen <mamamaur...@gmail.com>: > > If he has Asperger's Syndrome, he's not dumb. > > As for modem speed, he did this in 2002, so 56K was not old tech then. > > As for how bad the security is.
