I just listened to the whole interview linked to by Carol C. The person I liked least was the interviewer herself. She used words like "Absolutely!" "Stupendous!" "Great!" "Wow"! and kept trying to inject allegations of humans being held "off world", having been exchanged for aliens who are evidently being held here. She tried repeatedly to put words into his mouth. Unpleasant person.

But there are a number of anomalies and inconsistencies in his statements. Notably the dates of his involvement. First he says he was "involved" (his word) with it in 2000-20001, then later he says that he was 'caught' in March 2000 and charged in November 2000.

He says that he didn't consider himself a hacker at the time but goes on to say that his "unhealthy obsession" (his phrase) began after reading a book entitled "The Hacker's Handbook."

His main complaint appears to be that the UK did nothing themselves, rather turned him over immediately to the US, tossed him to the wolves so to speak.

He says that his main hope at this point is that the case will be dropped or at least tried in his own country.

I hope we hear more as it goes along.
