I doubt there are many UK lawyers specialising in this niche area of law stalking the HN forums right now. But you never know :)

I wonder if a big part of the reason for his jailing is that he actually did give them the password in the end - making it less likely that he had forgotten it, and that he was deliberately trying to pervert the course of justice.

Of course, it doesn't help that he did seem to have plenty to hide, and he wasn't in a great position anyway.

It really annoys me with articles like this when the chronology is unclear. If we was given 4 extra months after he gave them the password, then that's quite different than if he was given 4 extra months before.
