I can attest as a personal experience in the past that this kind of behavior is not uncommon with feds, and has happened even before the current administration. I've had a five years probation in the past for what the FBI argued that I "hacked" some company from changing the URL in specific ways, not to mention the "clear hacking tools" I had installed in my computer, e.g CCleaner. You know something is wrong when you literally have 98% chance of losing in court against the FBI. They are corrupt and incompetent.

One the first comments on reddit was actually:

> … in trump's america lmao

Someone had to awkwardly point out it was biden’s america. Which makes it easier and saves keystrokes: it’s just “america, lmao”. Then other countries can be even worse so it’s “lmao”. And soon enough they are just laughing their asses off while the person is stuck in jail.

> "clear hacking tools" I had installed in my computer, e.g CCleaner

I have always wondered if they are primarily that stupid or just evil and pretending to be stupid. I am leaning towards evil.

The wife’s description of the charges is not honest. See all of the other comments which revealed a much longer list of offenses he committed.

The Reddit post is an attempt to garner sympathy by leaving out all of the actual crimes committed.

Yeah, good point. That happens sometimes. It's sad, people just see reddit as sort of a platform of gullible people. I was just pointing out reddit's reaction, mainly.

Then my other reply was in reply to GP's own story ("clear hacking tools" = CCleaner).
