I remember reading the sentence isn’t about the hack, he’s not considered competent to be tried with that. The confinement is because he’s repeatedly injured psych staff, and had a history of stalking and harassing women prior to this. And he’s due to get reevaluated every 6 months.

I may be wrong about this because I didn’t look into it with a lot but on hasan stream he said the guy stalking women was another guy, linked to the same hacking group

$5 million

Rockstar literally wipes its ass with 5 million dollar bills but yeah let’s lock this person away for life.

edit: seems the article didn’t mention him stalking women and getting violent with psychiatric staff? Still not “life sentence” material IMO but if he’s got a mental illness then yeah I guess they should treat it.

They are severely autistic and based on what I’ve read an awful and potentially dangerous person.

This is a scenario where a physical key is the better option rather than any kind of digital system. Being really skilled is awesome, but being really skilled and dangerous is, well, dangerous…

Rockstar brings in 1.4 billion in revenue annually. Even if you don’t assume that 5 million sounds like a bullshit number thats .3% of their yearly profits.
