I was in federal prison with Sebastien Raoult, one of the ShinyHunters guys. We were in the same unit and talked regularly.

I was about mid-way through my bid when another inmate told me "new guy in B3 is a another hacker." I got really excited—I'd have someone to talk shop with, at the very least.

My takeaway from him was that they're a bunch of contemporary "script kiddies" with a lot of time on their hands.

This tracks.

And they gave this guy life in prison! Unlucky/stupid to do it after turning 18.

def curious to hear your story if you’re willing to share

I didn’t know about this case. When you said it I thought it must have been a US federal case. Nope.

And then they handed out free beer in the Paulaner Garten

If you’re going to make a point, could you?

It's a German expression for "you are lying"

Seems like a goofy thing to lie about.

Might even be a goofy thing to tell the truth about!
