Is it me or the DOJ so the flight manifest and then went to a grand jury to indict? He did what he did in 2014-2015 and the charges were filed in July 2017, a couple of weeks before Defcon...

Can you elaborate? Have you been creating malware (banking trojans) and selling it online?
No I haven't created or sold malware. But i have this; A middle-eastern last name, I use Tor, I use Linux, and I use Telegram, I am active in the field of IT and especially enjoy IT security. I know that I can be held indefinitely if I visit the USA. In the USA you're guilty until proven innocent, unlike the rest of the western world. Simply going to the USA is more risk than it is for practically every other country…
He wasn't middle eastern, he wasn't arrested for using Tor, Linux, or Telegram.
I've read a few articles but I feel like I'm missing something. What's with the sensational quotes like "I had folks afraid that their own involvement in investigating WannaCry would get them arrested."? Everything I've read points that he created banking Malware "Kronos" which was sold on various "underground forums" (whatever that means). What's with the WannaCry conspiracies? He wasn't arrested for being a securit…

The FBI claim he created the software in July 2014, the exact month that he asked on twitter for a copy of the software. Now I am not saying he is innocent but I am also not assuming his guilt because the FBI said he was guilty.
What proof do you have that he is a malware creator selling malware?

There's no reason he can't be both. We can both like him for stopping WannaCry, and dislike him for (if true) marketing/distributing malware based on Kronos.
Although I agree with your general sentiment, I'm confused as to why the security community is chilled by this. The court case should be public, so we'll be able to judge the evidence ourselves.
This isn't about DEFCON.
I would not be shocked if Defcon moved out of the US.
