    This is pretty much an open and shut case here. He may have had his noble reasons for withholding the passwords, but in the end, he did the crime, now he must do the time.

    I hope he watches his backdoor when he goes into the clink, there are going to be guys looking to root him! Oh!

    They still ruined a mans life.. over a password.

    did he steal or destroy anything of value? was anyones life put in danger? did he HARM anything at all but the ego of some of his asshole bosses?

    Way to go americia. Just as bad as any 3rd world shithole dictatorship. But with a better PR department and a mcdonalds on every corner. And we don't kill you directly.
    We just ruin your life and put you with people who will kill you.

    Makes me glad, Yet again. I got the fuck out of IT. When things work right you get no rewards. When things go wrong you get all the blame.

    Don't go to work in Kalifornia and take your (personal) business elsewhere.
