  • I don’t think it’s an agenda, I think it’s just poorly delivered. The facts are:

    • Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.

    • Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.

    I think it’s safe to assume that he’s intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone’s Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).

    I don’t think it’s unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.




  • It all has to do with evaluating flight risk, with his lawyers asserting a reasonable belief to the judge that he’s not one (prosecutors likewise can make their own recommendations). Bail can be denied, but from what I understand from legal podcasts, most cases have release conditions.

    The fact that he skipped town means his lawyer might get in some trouble, but it almost certainly means this guy is royally fucked when they find him. It doesn’t look good to juries when you run away.
