The article reads more like the death of a lying, scheming drug addict.
Most of the few biohackers I've come across are mentally ill or otherwise reckless and dangerous. I hate being against open knowledge-building, but a world where real viruses are build, modified and transmitted in a similar way to computer viruses is a world I don't want to live in.

Typically the US only understands two paths: free, or not. So either we get all these nasty virii both in government labs, and at home, and likely all sorts of places, or we just leave it at the government labs and when we all (or specific groups of people, as one can target specific genes nowadays) die nobody will know why but whatever.
