german police intervened, showed up at his house (many), woke him up, let him eat breakfast, took him in, interrogated him, wanted to know if he was also linked to another german hacker at the time (he wasn't), and also told him they took him because if he boarded that plane to USA it would have been bad for him. but the plan was for fbi agents to arrest the 18 year oldįbi notified german police this is what they planned to do. You know what valve and fbi did? they recorded it all, setup fake interviews, they even set up a fake interview to get him to fly to seattle from germany for on site interview, they got him a visa and everything. He spent weeks talking to gabe and valve, even had phone calls, because he wanted a job to work in the games industry and at valve he didn't even originally leak it to the internet but someone he showed and trusted did Remember when the german hacker hacked into Valve and stole the source code and other data? dude just loved half-life and was determined to know more about it. americans tend to be more vindictive than others when dealing with criminal behaviour like this but almost any crime and rehabilation, even on this forum most americans are very conservative about this If he's a US citizen though he'll probably feel a completely unjustified weight of the law and get sentenced to hell, because the USA js a shithole with justice system to match, one that is far more concerned with Biblical-like punity over early intervention and actual betterment of children exhbiting antisocial behaviour.Ĭlick to shrink.yep. Justice is complicated and how we treat people is equally such. And not give some pitchfork mob disproportionate sentence because people are emotionally moved by the romantic gravity of the situation. But it does mean they should be recognised for exactly they are a minor who's frontal lobe hasn't even finished developing. And thus you are tried and sentenced as a minor, except in aggressively backwards, punative judicial systems that do longer harm to individuals than help (see: the USA and it's abhorrent "tried as a adult" thing).īeing 16 doesn't mean a person is absolved of accountability for impact of their behaviour, and the importance of holding them to some form of standard of justice. More arrests should be expected, reports say.If you're 16 you're classified as a minor, and an overwhelming majority of structural societal consent does not classify you as an adult capable of making full adult rationality.
