SEATTLE, WA — Attorneys representing accused Capital One hacker Paige Thompson are asking for her to be released from federal detention as her case proceeds. Thompson poses no risk to others, and is in danger in federal detention as a transgender woman because she is being held in the men's section, the lawyers argue.
On July 29, the FBI raided Thompson's South Beach Hill home, arresting her on a charge of computer fraud for taking data on over 100 million Capital One customers and others who applied for accounts. Federal prosecutors believe she stole data from 30 other companies and institutions.
Last week, federal prosecutors argued that Thompson, 33, should be kept at the SeaTac detention center during court proceedings due to her history of stalking, suicide threats, and a threat she made to "shoot up" a California social media company.

I hope he/she gets whatever he/she deserves. If he wants to be a woman, he should get plenty of attention in a men's jail,
ReplyDeleteShe poses no harm? With over 100 MILLION identities hacked, is there no understanding of what the victims go through when a crime like this is committed?
ReplyDeleteOh now we can't even incarcerate transgenders because they don't feel safe. Do you think the average Joe in jail or prison feels safe? Welcome to the real world pansies, deal with it! You made a life choices, on to break the law, now just deal with it!!
