      I think the problem is that he said he’d likely turn to crime again.

      If he’d just say “No, this was my last time, I’ll be good now”, he’d be in a different situation. Maybe doing exactly what you said after serving a much more reasonable sentence.

      Day 3 of pen testing:

      “I was able to get into your admin’s crypto wallet and steal $400,000”
      “Holy crap! Good find. Can you document how you did that, and put the money back?”
      “Lol, you think you can order Lapsus around? Money’s mine, life lesson: Secure it better. I’m going to leak your home address now.”

      Some people do not cooperate.

    Typical case of judicial discrimination against autism. Autistic people get way harsher sentences for the same crime as they are considered a public safety threat by default. There was the case of a German autist who committed a simple robbery. You would think it would be handled as one, instead they had to overturn a court order which could have meant a life sentence without parole, if the mental asylum hospital would have deemed him by arbitrary rules unfit for society.

      The judicial decision seemed to be based more around the fact that he was a danger to others, regardless of his own mental limitations. He re-hacked the company using a cell phone and a Fire TV stick when cut off from other devices. What else can they feasibly do? I sympathize with people who have special needs, but that doesn’t mean people should just live in fear of the ones that are a danger.

      When the “victim” is lost money and leaked footage, I’m sure there’s limited sympathy, but I feel like these hackers are not so long from deciding to SWAT someone and very possibly getting people killed.
