I used to hang around with the late 90s's versions of these guys. I grew up, had a family, have had a successful career. They went to prison. I expect the same will happen to this lot.
This lot has amassed a very large amount of political power and is part of the same group that's currently deconstructing the very mechanisms that were used to capture and imprison YOUR lot
There is nothing to beat. Nothing illegal has been done. But sure as hell a lot of people seem to not understand how the government works are beating the drums of what is happening being illegal.

Musk has tried multiple times to alter the spending. Trump couldn't even do that. There is definitely illegal activity.
But no need to argue this. IANAL, and Musks', like, 8 lawsuits (I've lost count on how many people sued him this month alone) will get to the bottom of that.

I feel like the people I knew could be trusted with money, but were straight up dangerous to be around. Most of them were smart enough to make and keep friends, but still had a psychopathic streak.
Almost all the top tier infosec professionals had a grey-hat history. The successful ones are not likely cringe posting on LinkedIn so you wouldn’t have any idea of the successes, only the failures.
Of course we all want to say : see, obedience and hard work pays off. I’m glad I didn’t do anything reckless. The truth is that the real successful people keep it to themselves.
Won't save them from state prosecution, and it seems there is plenty to dig into here.
For the types of crime Krebs is talking about, it's really easy to get charged in lots of states with lots of things, and the statute of limitations are fairly long depending on the crime.
Often the feds charge you first, but clearly not gonna happen here.
They seem too young and stupid to realize ahead of time how far people will dig into them.
You state this as if you think it contributes something, but i'm not sure what.
I guess you think we are talking about crimes in DC, which you correctly state would not be chargeable in DC.
But we aren't talking about that, we are talking about the crimes in the article, not about whatever is going on now.
Those crimes can be charged anywhere there is a victim, or the person doing it was located, or ...
I feel like the late 90's hacker ethos was completely different than what the kids coming up now a days are bent to. Sure there was always the element of illegality, digital trespass, pirating, etc., but now the focus seems to be much more squarely on things like swatting, DDOSing, and scamming.
