"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?

"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."

Sounds like he personified the term “quixotic.”

I can appreciate folks that put skin in the game, doing what they feel is right.

It sounds like he was a fun chap to know. Probably pissed off people that take themselves too seriously.

I can appreciate that, too.

May have been foul play given his reputation.

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.

Probably just a hint that the Ventura county medical examiners office is understaffed.
