I wholeheartedly concur with the flame sent in response to the "former" hacker's introduction. This sort of individual bragging about his criminal background and his obvious expectations of attaining wealth as a legitimate entrepeneur are not unlike other organized criminals buying legitimate businesses with their ill-gotten gains. Rewarding these types with consulting business and publishing royalties only encourages other seemingly intelligent people to do the same - this is not on the job training, and costs businesses billions of dollars in losses and required, preventive measures! As an information systems auditor, however, it does provide me with additional job security!
