Lamo is a sociopathic asshole and a consummate liar. Why anyone would want to trust anything that comes out of his mouth (and Poulson, too, for that matter) is beyond me. There's a reason most companies won't hire convicted felons - most of them are self-absorbed liars who will do anything for attention (like Lamo). Making Lamo's conduct even worse is that it appears he reported Manning for no reason other than a desire for some trivial media attention. Jacob Appelbaum, a well-known hacker of the Tor Project who has known Lamo for years, said that Lamo's "only concern" has always been "getting publicity for Adrian." Indeed, Lamo's modus operandi as a hacker was primitive hacking aimed at high-profile companies that he'd then use Poulsen to publicize. As Appelbaum put it: "if this situation really fell into Adrian's lap, his first and only thought would have been: how can I turn this to my advantage? He basically destroyed a 22-year-old's life in order to get his name mentioned on the Wired.com blog." What an asshole. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
