Maybe. I don’t know if I think he should be punished further or not and don’t have strong feelings on this outcome one way or another. I generally think hacking crimes are treated disproportionately harsh.

All that aside, I do not appreciate that he rallied support from the security community and raised legal defense money by convincing sympathetic folks that it was all untrue and he was being set up, when he was actually guilty the whole time.

Manipulate the legal system all you want for all I care, but manipulating good natured people in the community who put their own reputation and money on the line is not exactly a class act. I didn’t give him money, but I did fall for his original story.
