Personally, I support any company which has the guts to roll out a transitional workforce development program. If you're giving an honest pay check and a second chance to a guy who used to have to sell out journalists to fascist governments to make ends meet, you're ok by me.

They didn't sell out because they were hungry, they enthusiastically supported authoritarian governments.

This may not have been merely a matter of selling to the highest bidder. Hacking Team's CEO regularly signed his emails with the Italian Fascist slogan “Boi chi Molla,” a phrase that equates dissent with betrayal. /4

The important thing is the world just got safer for freedom fighters. Evil govts have one less ally to turn to. Recidivism rates are high so it's critical that offenders be assimilated back in to society and find jobs in financial services where they can leverage their skills.

This shows that you can do evil work for a while and then just get accepted back into society. You’re lowering the downside of doing evil work, which will make it more appealing and more socially acceptable. Big step in the wrong direction I think.

's spin. Hacking Team didn't show any remorse and there's no external oversight. They're simply rewarded by Coinbase and given more opportunity to spy on people.
