Also, Hutchins says GCHQ vetted all this. Remember, Kronos victimized UK, not US. GCHQ was reportedly okay with it. USG decided to arrest Marcus. USG thinks this chat log helps them (bc they've fucked up other parts of the case so badly).

As someone rooting for Marcus bc this is bullshit, I'm glad these people are fucking everything up. As a taxpayer, I wonder what value FBI brings here.

I also don't think these people understand how code works. Marcus' brain doesn't go downstream with any piece of code he writes.

It is untrue that Kronos wasn't impacting US. You're basing that on the observation of just one threat Intel shop. Others observed US infections.https://twitter.com/kafeine/status/894153056455192576?s=19 …

Actually I'm basing that on what the USG said (and HAS said in this case) but what do they know?

Clearly not the full picture given the evidence I've just referred you to

Or maybe you totally misunderstand the question. Why is it that you think the govt would sink their case just to prove you wrong? Why do you think that is, really?

I don't care what the govt does, I'm pointing out what you keep repeating is untrue and you are aware of that. If you'd instead like to frame it as the govt's position, use that framing when stating it.
