The story is more interesting than the title suggests! This guy was arrested for hacking two telecom companies, got released under investigation, then immediately hacked Nvidia before being put under house arrest. After that, he was relocated to a hotel (due to being doxxed) where all he had to work with was a Fire TV stick, which he promptly then used to hack Rockstar.
All in all, he's believed to have stolen $14 million+. By the way... he's 18, autistic, and enrolled in a special education school.
The Fed will offer this guy a job. He's got a future.
Uh, have you ever seen a federal job application requirements?
#1: not a felon
It doesn't sound like he's been convicted of a crime yet...
