All I have to say is this guy is an idiot, the $20 he made will probably end up costing him $100,000 or more in fines.

Wow.

- Hacking in America.

- Putting the information you have on a website.

- Selling it, publicly.

- For $20?

Sentence this man for stupidity, if anything.

Anyone know how he got the information?

Even though he didn't die, the man should probably get a Darwin award.

Ranks up there with this guy...

Definately an Idiot, I'd have atleast tried to make a fortune off that if I were him, but I'm not that stupid so I couldn't be him :)
