As I read it, you Thomas were pointing out that the indictment contains a number of overt and recognizably 'bad' acts, and Jacques was pointing out that there are a number of actions that are arguably 'non bad' that could also get you in trouble.

What I took away from this is that Marcus probably shouldn't have come to the US if there really were trails on a computer system tying him to malware. And that Jacques believes it will eventually be a bad idea to come to the US if you have done anything the US disapproves of, even if such things are both acceptable and legal where you did them and when.

Me, I'm just trying to move my deck chair so that I can get a good look at the icebergs floating nearby away from all the screaming and panicing.
