Re: Criminals must brag

My personal favorite is when he said, "The modem steals the internet."

You can't steal something that is essentially free in the first place. If you're going to brag about something, criminal or not, at least get your facts straight.

It may be worth noting that if he is actually brought up on charges and taken to court a savvy lawyer can use that comment to his advantage. Unless the FBI has more incriminating evidence (which they likely do), saying one is selling products that "steal" the "internet" has no real meaning. I may as well tell people a product I sell can "steal" "breathable air" from their neighbors. The only charges I'd be facing then are related to my product being a fraud. In this case, the fraud doesn't really apply so long as he was selling the 'hacked' modems as offering root access or whatever precisely he was offering.
