It's not just GTA...
That was while he was already on bail for other offenses, and apparently he's just flat out saying he's going to keep doing it and nothing will stop him...
So, it's not like there's any other options.
I worked at a day program for people with autism and other issues, and there's just some people with the right mix of symptoms and abilities, where they're capable of doing incredibly harmful things, but just literally can't understand why they shouldn't and you just can't explain it in a way they understand.
Which seems to be what's going on here. Dude just refuses to stop and he's going to do it again the second he's able.
He pulled this off while under supervision of police while in a hotel. Nothing short of him being in a controlled environment 24/7 is going to prevent it.
Hopefully somebody can set up some CTF servers for him in the hospital. Taking away his 'one thing' forever seems inhumane to me.
Yeah, give him a closed network with obstacles to overcome, whenever he beats the latest one, set them up again.
I mean he's probably not in a secure hospital and instead off working for the government
Has he done anything bad? Name one thing that he did that was somehow harmful to someone.
He had a negative impact on the shareholders. Oh no.
Wont somebody think of the shareholders!
Leaked personal details of employees?
other than a life sentence?!?
how about any other sentence, and then see if he changes his mind after that?
and he's not some autistic super hacker, he just asked some dumb guy for the password...
