OK, so prosecute him for fraud. I would totally support that.
My criticism is that we aren't talking about fraud: we are talking about hacking. We are talking about legally-enforced secrets.
We are talking about a violent reaction to being prosecuted for hacking. What if was about the fraud instead? Would his reaction be the violent then? We can never know.
I'm supposed to be afraid to live in a society where this person participates. Afraid enough to sacrifice the rest of his life. I'm not convinced.
