So govt has given up any pretense @MalwareTechBlog case is abt WI. He can stay in LA, be repped by 2 CA lawyers.
-
-
Govt also said this was a "historical" crime, seeming admission he's not a current threat. (That's nice , given that he saved the world.)
-
He'll be replied by Marcia Hoffman and Brian Kline.
-
Oops. Klein.
-
In addition to his FBI interview govt is handing over two recorded phone calls to his defense.
-
The rest of discovery will be after a protective order.
-
Magistrate also on own initiative led govt to lift all travel restrictions in US.
@MalwareTechBlog can go back to Vegas!!!! -
So: can't go home but can work. Has gps until Pretrial services decides he's a nice guy. Can get back on twitter.
-
Trial is scheduled for October right now but that'll slide after govt calls this complex.
-
Funniest moment of hearing was Judge trying understand word sinkhole.
-
Hoffman and Klein just gave statement.
@MalwareTechBlog is a hero. He'll be fully vindicated. -
WI journos were as wtf abt what this was ever doing in WI was the rest of us.
-
One more detail: Discovery will be open file, once it happens (whatever that means in this District).
-
There were about 20 journos, incl 4 court room artists, and about 4 supporters for the hearing.
-
Folks: The ONLY condition the judge imposed himself was nationwide travel. Govt readily agreed to access to computers, living in LA.
-
Defense agreed to sinkhole requirement. Only dispute was defense request for release to UK. Also judge said GPS will likely end in LA.
-
So it's not the case change in bail conditions came from judge. They came, in significant part, w/agreement from govt.
-
Tho having good lawyers probably helps.
