No good deed goes unpunished. But why is DefCon still in the US? I think the creators of the conference might want to seriously think about holding it somewhere that isn't so hostile to pretty much everyone who attends.
They're surprisingly clever, to arrest after DefCon. Typical stupid USA LEOs would arrest ASAP, so the unjust detention could be a cause célèbre hyped up by half the talks.

If you tweet and stop using an account that is what happens and that was a shady group of people in 2013.
pfft. I used to talk to this guy on a malware dev IRC on a daily basis, he started a blog "TouchMyMalware" which eventually evolved into Malwaretech. This is all easily verifiable with google and archive.org. And lol, apparently some twitter user dug up logs of him offering to sell me a rootkit for $20k https://twitter.com/jeremiahg/status/893207272154734592

That just looks like standard IRC bantz though. Do you know if he was actually trying to sell/weaponize the malware he was developing? (I assume he was, given the indictment, but can't hurt to ask.)

There's almost zero chance that he was arrested for stopping Wannacry. I'd guess a 23-year old in that business has a history of "less-than-white-hat" activities...
Wouldn't be surprised if this gets a lot of other people in the field thinking.
Then again, any deal probably means informing on friends and acquaintances of that period and scene. You could try to contact some of them and see if you could go forward together, but then you're setting yourself up for a prisoner's dilemma situation.
> "I've spoken to the US Marshals again and they say they have no record of Marcus being in the system. At this point we've been trying to get in contact with Marcus for 18 hours and nobody knows where he's been taken," the person added. "We still don't know why Marcus has been arrested and now we have no idea where in the US he's been taken to and we're extremely concerned for his welfare." What the hell? How does s…
>What the hell? How does something like this even happen? Surely they can't just take somebody away and keep it a secret? There's this little thing called the Patriot Act that Bush brought into law after 9/11 that allows the feds to do exactly this.

Yes. And I've had a hostile fellow once upon a time put my RL info in the whois and post a bunch of shit on it. I generally give people the benefit of the doubt when its random online public stuff until they are convicted.
The internet "evidence" is way too flimsy to be considered reasonable standards of proof imho.
