I found his story more sad than funny, this guy clearly had some inadequacy issues. Evidently he was a hacker of some ability; had he stayed that way today he could have been leading a medium sized legit startup perhaps.

But what's even sadder is the cavalier attitude Germany has shown towards him: after his first set of crimes, during the extradition from Thailand he should have got a more severe punishment it seems (what good that would have served with a guy like that is another question altogether). Insider trading was not a crime until 1995? It was banned around 1930s in the US I think.
