someone says he got indicted under the #CFAA (therefore in the #USA) on claims that he created #Bitcoin and #BitTorrent! “They also loved the fact I could look “street check” other claimed hackers and fraudsters. If they couldn't answer a few basic questions from me they likely were never in any kind of “game” more complex than physically stealing peoples cards. Combine that with the infinite amount of #Android rooting related work that needs done to keep the behind-the-bars mobile network functioning LMAO and I was doing fine.” “what did you actually do to warrant this type of response?” “Illegally accessed computers without authorization.” #security
