Yup lets Bullshit about dollar amounts. The FBI/NIPC/.gov/THE MAN knows
that what makes headlines.
That is what gets them more more to fuck the american public and keep their
little programs/ideology running.

I remeber history class. I rember a second rate bungled burglary(yeah g
gordon liddys 31337 hi tech tape over the lock technique!) took down a
president. it's the litlle things that get ya, eh? So does it suprise
you(the .GOV) that a kid wrote this bullshit little script disrupted a good
portion of the world? The only reason they come up with these huge dollar
amoutns is the sentencing guidelines. so whoever they lay this shit on gets
a good size upward adjustment for "damages" plus as special skill upward
departure for some silly  hack?
