The 18-year-old Lapsus$ hacker who played a critical role in leaking Grand Theft Auto VI footage has been sentenced to life inside a hospital prison, according to a report from the BBC. A British judge ruled on Thursday that Arion Kurtaj is a high risk to the public because he still wants to commit cybercrimes.

In August, a London jury found that Kurtaj carried out cyberattacks against GTA VI developer Rockstar Games and other companies, including Uber and Nvidia. However, since Kurtaj has autism and was deemed unfit to stand trial, the jury was asked to determine whether he committed the acts in question, not whether he did so with criminal intent.

    Hold on while I dig out the world’s smallest violin for the property of billionaire parasites.

        Hold on… I have an even smaller violin - you know, for all the people who love licking the boots of billionaire parasites.

        All that over-priced shoe polish must be really hard on your tongue.

          Just to clarify, you know I’m agreeing with you right?

              All good. I guess “for real, right?” has an intonation everyone in the NYC area gets, but maybe others don’t know. I’ll be more careful.

              Also, I’m stealing “overpriced shoe polish is bad for your tongue”. 😂
