    “Jacob committed this offence to generate social media and news coverage for himself and to obtain financial gain”, federal prosecutors in California said on Monday.

    I wonder the amount of YouTube views & sponsorship revenue it would take to compensate for the price of an entire airplane and the cost to recover it and destroy it?

        I wonder if that was part of his original plan. No way he’d get away with that after how publicized the incident became.
