FBI arrests people for this kind of thing all the time. Never seen the EFF launch a fundraiser for one though.

If it turns out this kid is truly evil, e.g. racing to help in situations he caused, I hope the fundraiser refunds people's money.

Even if he was sole source, writing/selling banking malware as a kid isn't evil in any sense of the word. Everyone did dumb stuff.

All of us did dumb stuff. Not all of us defrauded people at scale. Don't lump any of my childhood transgressions into the same category.

It's not defrauding if Kronos was worth the couple grand.... I kid, I kid. I'd never bring up anyone's past specifically, just generalizing
