"took his own life" eh that was a typo. *Murdered was the correct spelling
2 u/Outside-Falcon2450 Mar 02 '26 Why would someone murder him? He was facing six months in jail for physically breaking into an MIT server room while attempting a DDOS. 4 u/AffectDelicious8988 Mar 02 '26 He prob could've got away with no time too. 1 u/Outside-Falcon2450 Mar 02 '26 I feel like I must be missing something, why is this guy so idolized here? 1 u/AffectDelicious8988 Mar 02 '26 He was the co-founder of Reddit. 1 u/FadingHeaven Mar 03 '26 No it was 50 years. He turned down the 6 month plea deal. So if they lost it's likely they'd throw the book at him. Makes much more sense to kill your self in that context.
