The Democrat power structure doesn’t mess around when their involved in a cyber-hacking. Remember the kid that hacked Sarah Palin’s email account? Yeah, right! Think back. He got a light tap on the wrists because his Daddy was a Democrat elected official.
He’s got that “school shooter” look, that’s for sure.
“How long before Dems call him a Russian?”
Well...his middle name is Ivan. :)
Charges as an adult because he stole from leftists. The police won’t even ticket the illegal aliens who rammed my car and ran off.

The tweets offered to send $2,000 for every $1,000 sent to an anonymous Bitcoin address.
“ The investigation revealed Clark was the mastermind of the recent hack of Twitter. Clark’s scheme to defraud stole the identities of prominent people, posted messages in their names directing victims to send Bitcoin to accounts associated with Clark, and reaped more than $100,000 in Bitcoin in just one day, according to the Hillsborough State Attorney’s Office. As a cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is difficult to track and recover if stolen in a scam. ”

Years ago, my brother, an auto insurance adjuster in South Carolina, had to check out a Sheriff's vehicle.
He was told to go into a room and wait for the Sheriff. It was a full of young thugs who were waiting to go up to State prison. Hard cases, staring at him. He found his laptop EXTREMELY interesting.
The punks were taken out and finally the Sheriff came in, and concluded the business. My brother mentioned how uncomfortable he was who those tough guys. The Sheriff laughed and said that up in State, those "tough guys" would end up being passed around for fudge-packing sessions for as little as a pack of cigarettes.
He looks like a psycho killer.
Not for long.
