    So this guy sold customers license keys to access their own devices and is now charged under "access device fraud"? This would all seem rather silly if it wasn't for the sad fact that this guy is gonna spend the rest of his life in jail for giving customers access to their own devices.

    The article doesn't really go into much detail.

    Were they fraudulently trying to pass off the generated license keys as genuine or are they literally being prosecuted for selling what is essentially "illegal numbers"?
