    Maybe someone who understands better can explain, but isn’t “lifelong confinement” a bit harsh for what amounts to someone taking the loose change out of my sofa after entering without asking?

    I’m aware of their status, I just think we should be past Bedlam by now.

      He did this while out on bail for multiple other hacks and openly refuses to stop saying he’ll do it again as soon as he’s able…

      But maybe 5-10 years from now he’s not as obsessed with hacking and is able to be released with conditions.

      The article is pretty informative

        Thanks for the explanation, I kind of skimmed the article. The verge always throws pop-ups and ads everywhere when I’m on my phone so I don’t really spend long whenever an article is linked.

        To be fair though the article kind of sucks.

        He’s not being held in a hospital for life, he’s being held indefinitely. Which is absolutely the correct decision considering his abilities and record of hacks

        Oh no. He’ll do it again you say? That justifies the possible life imprisonment! He might, idk, leak the next batch of shark card prices.
