Lauri Love has lost his court case against extradition to the US to face hacking charges.
Love was indicted in US courts in 2013 after it emerged that he had hacked into servers at the Federal Reserve, NASA, Missile Defence Agency and the US Army as part of hacker group known as Anonymous.
He and his doctors have consistently argued in extradition hearings that he should not be extradited to the US from his home in south-eastern England because he suffers from Asperger syndrome and depression. Love has repeatedly told the media that he would rather commit suicide than face trial in America.
He could face up to 99 years in jail if convicted in a US court. He is likely to be charged under the Computer Fraud and Abuse act and to face federal trials in New York, New Jersey and Virginia.
Love's assistants maintain that his life would be in danger if he was extradited. They intend to appeal the decision, which would be heard at the Ministry of Interior.
The case against him in Britain, where Love is also a citizen, has not moved foreward.
Jaxson Johnson
99 years for hacking. Seems absolutely reasonable and not irrational at all.
Nicholas Brown
Fucker should be glad he's not getting death penalty.
Wyatt Powell
He should say in the UK, if he goes to the US the government will say he he is suddenly 'missing'
Adrian Johnson
I don't think you know what extradition is
Ethan Walker
Looks like one of those fags from the /fa/ meetup.
Asher Bennett
Is the goal just to have these people sudoku or do they genuinely want to put them in prison for a million eons?
Dominic Lopez
What damage did he do? Did he release any classified information?
Those groups get the shit hacked out of them all the time so I guess they want to make an example of him.
Benjamin Perez
CIA conspiracy to kill autists is in full swing
Carter Moore
>hacker group known as a anonymous. He doesn't ACTUALLY associate with them does he? If he does he should be executed or jailed for life for being a stupid little Skid.
Jacob Torres
ah yes that's the main focus you should have on the story
Isaiah Wright
Welcome to America where the court system is fucked beyond belief
Gavin Reyes
I can't wait for the day corporations are responsible for egregious security practices. Some of the onus needs to be on them and fines need to be enforced. Unfortunately I will have been dead for many years before this happens.
Lucas Gray
So, a UK citizen kidnapped by the US? Is that an act of war?
Mason Howard
Yeah, anybody who associates with a l33t h4x0r group and doesn't just do their own thing fucking deserves to get caught for being such a cock sucking faggot.

>Federal Reserve, NASA, Missile Defence Agency and the US Army
Anthony Martinez
>finnish hacker replaces all the US missile defence plans with pictures of spurdo ebin :DDDD
Ian Butler
>Anonymous
Good riddance
Easton Perez
>Have holes crucial financial, aerospace and missile defence systems like its swiss cheese >Kid gets in >hurr lock him up for good
His only mistake was associating with anonymous but he is autistic
Easton Sanchez
They won't care about one citizen.
Hunter Ortiz
He could have reported the flaws to them.
That's just as bad a Geohotz blackmailing Sony for a job.
Jace Diaz
>Computer Fraud and Abuse
Off topic I know, but wasn't Shillary doing the same thing with those "emails".
Kevin Butler
I don't give a shit about Lauri, but it is absolutely fucked up extradition covers laws not committed in the country that wants to extradite you. I doubt this will change until a US citizen faces extradition to the UK for an internet law that doesn't exist in the US.
Matthew Nelson
Unknowingly.
Aaron Cruz
>He could have reported the flaws to them. And most probably get jailed any way.
Gavin Anderson
Every system has holes. Abusing zero days just because they exist in software doesn't make it ok. He deserves the punishment
Grayson Lee
UK probably has the most totalitarian """cybercrime""" laws of the west. His mistake was staying in the UK.
John Nguyen
Surely there is a government program that let's you report flaws.
Eli Stewart
He could have jumped into an embassy.
Luis King
>the Federal reserve
And this is where he fucked up
Aaron Green
How stupid do you have to be to hack into all those networks and get caught?
Tyler Cruz
Of course. Perhaps that's what this guy should use as a defence then. He'll get off no problems...
Well that's the theory at least.
Zachary Cox
Probably ratted out, happened when they caught the LulzSec guy.
Luis Cook
Let me rephrase Xer question. How stupid do you have to be to hack into all those networks and telly anybody associated with a "hacking group" anything about you'real personality?
Jordan Rodriguez
>hacked into servers at the Federal Reserve, NASA, Missile Defence Agency and the US Army >clearly brilliant mind in a certain area >absolutely retarded in everything else
Autism is such a shame.
Juan Murphy
>Hacking missile defense, us army Treason is punishable by death, barbaric or not
Ayden Sullivan
>fuck with the USG >cry like a bitch when they fuck you back x100 harder
He's going to end up in an easy white collar prison camp if he plays his cards right
Charles Brown
Why are Uber 1337 hax0rz always leftists?
Hudson Cooper
Because they are misguided by a fundamental error in thinking: mathematical right/wrong must be completely distinguishable from human right/wrong, something most forget easily in the mass that is mathematics and computer science.
You have to retain your humanity if you wish to achieve fulfillment, and fulfillment is what all aspies lack because of thought dysfunction on many levels due to lack of ability to distinguish these things
See: existential depression in children with high IQ
Hunter Walker
>treason but he is not american.
Adrian Clark
Terrorism, then.
William Campbell
The indictment says he broke into these networks and then placed backdoors so he could come back to them later and steal the personal information of former and current government employees. The guy is a scumbag. Probably wont even get 99 years either but I think he deserves a lot.
Owen Rivera
>unironically hacking the us government i mean what the fuck did he expect?
Robert Price
kek
Ryan King
>tfw you have non-ironically been depressed all your life and you where the generic smart but lazy kid fighting off nihilism feels like a full time job
