Ok, exchange that for the hospital for life sentence that GTA VI leaker got, he's autistic too

Autistic doesn't mean you don't know right from wrong and you're still accountable for your actions.

The GTA leakers problem was that he didn't take the olive branch when it was offered to him.

The GTA leakers problem is that he would use any sort of leniency he could to initiate further attacks. The dude performed an attack while already in police custody,

Yes a lot of people said he should have been hired by the CIA or something but that won't work if he couldn't have be trusted to follow basic orders.

From reading about the GTA leaker, he was repeatedly involved in hacking/extortion attempts with multiple companies causing millions in damages, and he repeatedly said that he would immediately go back to doing it again as soon as he got Internet access again.

So basically he's going to immediately start causing real world damages if released, and he has no intention of pretending otherwise or complying with any kind of probation/etc.
