Wait, what?

How does a person accused of development and direct distribution of malware qualify as a white hat? Because he pulled the plug on some ransomware and put his name in global households?

There are a lot of logic jumps here that you have simply glossed over.

[jstanley]

The same way someone accused of murder qualifies as not-a-murderer.

"Accused" just means someone said it, it doesn't make it true.

That itself is a huge logic jump that is being made, both by the DoJ and the infosec community. His bail was set at 30k, the 10% rule makes his bail 3k, so he should be out by tomorrow if he really deved that malware.

If not, you're all being targeted so you should grab a new career before you get feds at the door.

No the "10%" rule makes his BOND $3,000 which he would pay to a Bail bondsman and and lose forever.

You can put up $30,000 Cash or some other asset as BAIL then that is returned to you in full after the trail

Or you can pay a Bails Bondsmen 10% of that, as a fee, they will put up the court a 30K BOND then assure the court they will make you appear or pay the court the 30K if skip

You as the individual however lose that $3k.
