"After a city in California passed a law criminalizing homelessness, the same client knocked one of its websites offline for half an hour. Where the FBI saw a felony computer crime worth up to 15 years in prison, Leiderman saw a peaceful protest against an unjust law—a protest, he noted, that had caused no perceptible harm."

> Leiderman’s hacking clients had a nagging habit of openly admitting to the things they were accused of doing. One spent a decade fleeing authorities in several countries, giving interviews, all the while on the lam.

A great reminder that everyone deserves a good defender, even if they are an idiot (or behave idiotically).

Come on. Is this kind of baseless speculation really warranted?

He claims to have had five shots so I guess at least for him that is warranted:

That said, it's a pretty dumb comment.

"The cause of Leiderman’s death has not been declared and will likely take months to certify, the medical examiner’s office said." I do not understand. Is this a hint?

The full quote: > Leiderman, who’s survived by his nine-year-old son Lydon, died of an apparent heart attack on Tuesday, his brother Craig said in a brief statement. Ventura’s medical examiner said an exact cause of death would likely take months to certify.

Is it really that strange? His reported death fits the current concern...
