I remember reading the sentence isn't about the hack, he's not considered competent to be tried with that. The confinement is because he's repeatedly injured psych staff, and had a history of stalking and harassing women prior to this. And he's due to get reevaluated every 6 months.

lets teach him about communism and respecting women and let him loose

I may be wrong about this because I didn't look into it with a lot but on hasan stream he said the guy stalking women was another guy, linked to the same hacking group

Rockstar brings in 1.4 billion in revenue annually. Even if you don't assume that 5 million sounds like a bullshit number thats .3% of their yearly profits.

thats .3% of their yearly profits.

Just over 1 day of work for the collective staff of the company. (0.27%)

How is something like this legal? All he did was leak a trailer for some treats early.
