It's concerning. But I honestly think this had everything to do with his image and little with his actions. He's well known for trolling with offensive messages and being affiliated with grey hat hacking. Neither of these are necessarily wrong/illegal/immoral, and I'm not saying this is karma at all, but he's the type of person the FBI wants to see in jail one way or another.

Anyhow, we should do what we can to inform non-technical people about these issues so they're not so mysterious and scary. How do you think gay rights are so mainstream? Years of people being vocal about what's right.
