    Literally bought Surfshark a couple of days before exfiltrating his employer’s data using it, and bungled that anyway. How was this staggeringly incompetent person getting paid $250k in the first place ?

    I’m guessing Ubiquity didn’t see much value from him in the two years he worked there.

    “It wasn’t a hack I was just pretending”. I guess the guy thought he had a chance in court.
