Let me get this straight, thanks to Kevin's activities, even though they were wrong, illegal, caused damage, destroyed careers, embarrassed countless individuals, as long as the outcome is ok, then what he did should be accepted as "a good thing?"
This seems to indicate that no matter what, the end justifies the means. Doctors then could be justified in taking a couple of lives in order to save many other patients. (Can I have your heart, lungs, kidneys please...)
If Kevin really wanted to "help" these companies, why not contact them about getting a consulting job and point out some of the errors. Even then, GOOD coders were very heavily in demand. One would suspect that with Kevin's ability to charm, weasel, connive, social engineer, getting a job to help them would have been a cinch.
As for his poor time in the US Judicial system, I cannot understand him not being able to also charm an ACLU lawyer into taking his case. ALL his troubles seem to stem from poor "court appointed" lawyers, all bent on having him sign away his constitutional rights as a good, upstanding, innocent, misguided, arrogant self-centered individual.
Now, lets get this straight. After fully admitting that he is guilty, committed crimes using "social engineering" ( a fancy word for liar ), he now expects people to want to open their doors to him, put their jobs, reputations, company assets, on the line, just because he says he is now reformed? Does anyone remember a show on many years ago that had a tag-line of "Trust me, I know what I am doing."?
Has Kevin reformed? I do not know. Am I willing to risk it all to help show the world Kevin is now one of the good-guys? Hell no!
