What is the indication that this person has changed? OP ran an extortion scheme against non-technical folks, and then extorted the victims again. Its a horrible horrible story and the OP should be ashamed with themselves, and rethink their life.

I just kind of assumed they did. Also the sibling indicates this might be a troll so I'm taking the whole thing with a grain of salt.
Why should I rethink my life? What is the difference between what I did, and what Symantec does on a massive scale? Or even Equifax? Or Facebook?

We changed the names of the SSIDs, which were publicly open at the time and there was no legal president set as to if it was legal or not to do so, since we were on public property. We were providing a service to the community, letting people know there is someone who can help them secure their network.

I do admit the changing them back part was a bit evil, but don't act like you're some saint who hasn't done anything wrong especially as a teenager or in your early adulthood.
