PS3 Hacker has fled the United States.

Slacker Hero wrote:"Sony claims that PS3 hacker George "Geohot" Hotz has fled the United States in an effort to escape his participation in the notorious PS3 jailbreak suit.

A document filed by Sony alleges that Hotz is currently residing in South America, using his new location as an excuse for not handing his impounded hard-drives over to the publisher for a thorough scouring. Sony adds that "attempts to dodge this Court’s authority raise very serious questions."

To further demolish Geohot's case, Sony claims that he lied about owning a PlayStation Network card. After tracking the serial number one of Hotz's four PS3s, Sony was able to determine that he'd created the PSN account "blickmaniac." "

If you don't know already, Geohot was the person to first jailbreak an iphone and recently leaked PS3 security codes which allowed for customfirm ware. Which unlocked various things, and caused people to pirate PS3 games as well. Sony responded with a lawsuit to Geohot. And now apparently this guy has taken the donations he has gotten on his website and fled to South America.

But from what i know he and his community of hackers hack into government files for other country's computers.So they must get paid.But even though he does all that stuff he says it's easier for microsoft to catch you pirating DLC's then libya catching you downloading their infantry plans and whatnot (example).

Or he's just bullshitting you, because as far as I know, modern countries keep such files on closed networks that can't be accessed through internet because there's no physical connection between them. So to access an military network of another country, they'd have to go in that country and in the same building with the computers that use the military network...
