    Unless I’m missing something this seems like a huge fucking overreaction and maybe get this guy some behavioral therapy or whatever. He’s incredibly talented and it would be a damn shame to waste that in a hospital. I’m guessing he’ll get a chance to be released, but some rehabilitation would go a long way and I don’t think his life should waste away in a hospital prison

      He committed the ultimate crime, though: stealing from rich people. And he even had the effrontery not to be rich himself while doing it.

      That’s what they’re punishing here.

      The court heard that Kurtaj had been violent while in custody with dozens of reports of injury or property damage.

      A mental health assessment used as part of the sentencing hearing said he “continued to express the intent to return to cyber-crime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated.”

      I’m assuming that’s why. Hopefully they can put his mind to good use because he seems to be talented and is clearly motivated.

        Oh no. He’s a hardened cyber criminal. We’d better zombify him in a mental hospital for the rest of his life! The world just isn’t safe otherwise!

      But rehabilitation costs money, money that could go to private prisons instead

      Rockstar should absolutely just hire this kid as a whitehat instead.
