Poor Ross and SSBD. Feel so bad for them. What they endured, what they have to endure. Who do I not feel bad for? The snitch that launched a thousand ships: CaptMal/Scout/Cirrus aka T.O. This rat took the easy way out and flipped, and caused so many people misery. Ruined so many lives. Why? To save her OWN ass. And don't start with the "you would too if you were in her shoes" - no, lots of people wouldn't. Lots would fight the case instead of rolling over. And not only did she roll over, she actively helped Agent JDY maintain his ruse.. down to the quirky Scout mannerisms and everything. Had it not been for her, theres a good chance none of these people would have been incarcerated or subjucated to any of the pain they have/will.
So fuck her.

That's fucking awesome, great news indeed! I hope he comes on here and does an AmA.

So what's next for SSBD? Does he get let out of the prison tomorrow and left to arrange a plane ticket back to Australia on his own or something? Or is he going to have to wait another week or two for procedures?

What? That's the best news in weeks!
Edit: someone gild this thread, so it's there forever under the gilded threads. I'm missing the btc or would've done it myself.

That is fucking wonderful we needed some good news

It might be too much to hope for that this lenient sentence is a sign of leniency in general. But Mazel Tov, good fortune has occurred.

From /u/OzFreelancer's article, in quotes from SSBD, "because they continued to mimic the same personality traits of being quite flaky and overly emotional about some of the shenanigans that used to go down on the forums."

Did his relationship with his fiance survive? Was she aware of what he was upto or completely in the dark?

Fuckin' A. I am beyond happy for him, even though he's right - he got a very raw deal.
Peter ought to cash in and do a load of UK press while he's visiting the 'rents.

wow good for him.

"He also bought into the ‘multiple DPR’ theory. “I was sure that I was communicating with more than one person,” he said. “I used to joke with Scout/Cirrus that DPR had been replaced sometime mid 2013; it was our private joke and we started calling him ‘New DPR‘.” "
Very interesting.

Whoa! That is fantastic news! I read that topic and had to do a double take because I couldn't believe it.
He should be suing the US Govt for false imprisonment.

but the head dude is getting life? I guess the lesson is do not ever rise to the CEO level, keep your head down, make money, get out of jail quick...."time served" quick!
Rare good news. I hope Peter signs up for a reddit account and joins us here. As a shenanigans- and FUD-fighting ninja he'd be a welcome addition to this community.
