He claims to have had five shots so I guess at least for him that is warranted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28307908 That said, it's a pretty dumb comment.

Is it really that strange? His reported death fits the current concern... https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/my...

So yes, that's really strange. Correlation != causation.

No, that's just dumb. But if he wants to do that that's his choice I guess, though I doubt that this is the way those vaccines are intended to be used. It's not exactly candy.

"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?

May have been foul play given his reputation.

You're suggesting the U.S. is in the business of assassinating citizens, and possesses killing methods that will pass as heart attacks to coroners, and that the U.S. government wields this awesome and evil power to target... lawyers for hackers.

Pure conspiracy theory, baseless, and inappropriate for this forum.

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.

Wait this actually fucking exists, I thought it was a joke

> 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).

A great reminder of the classic law professor talk "Don't Talk to the Police" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7o9xYp7eE).

Sounds like it was a heart attack.

Unfortunately, with all the noise about virii and cancer, good old-fashioned heart disease is the biggest killer of Americans in his age range (and I'm almost a decade older than he was).

A "heart attack" could have many causes (including a CIA heart attack gun, I guess). It could be congenital, or exacerbated by lifestyle.

He could have dropped dead of a congenital MI, during his daily 10-mile run, or after a "heart attack hit" on a crack stem. It could be a number of reasons.

I seriously doubt that he was selected for assassination. It seems he lost a significant number of his cases, and was probably more of an annoyance, than a real threat to anyone.
