FBI held him pre-trial for four years because they couldn't really figure out what to do with him. They were terrified to let him go, they (supposedly) were afraid he had the capability of launching a nuclear strike over the phone (which is completely absurd) to the point where they held him in solitary for 8 months.
They didn't understand hacking quite as well as they do now, they went overboard. It's scary how a person can get lost in the system. I'm not saying he didn't deserve some jail time though.

Yeah, I remember when they captured him. It was just a couple of miles down the road from where I lived in Raleigh, NC. To think I could have met that guy. LOL

Vuuduu, good advice for new members on any forum is: take time (say, a couple weeks) to get used to the place and know the people and the customs. THEN start posting.

Exactly. He's not a computer hacker though. It's incredible how the media have hyped this guy.
