>> I'm a programmer. I learned it from the internet.

Same is true of Paul Le Roux [1]. I think if you're criminally inclined you'll find a way.

>Le Roux was sentenced to 25 years in prison in June 2020 after agreeing to cooperate with authorities in exchange for a lesser sentence and immunity to his most serious crimes.

Surely he will have to serve his sentence in solitary because I would imagine cooperating with the authorities makes you rather unpopular in prison.


It wouldn't stop there - imagine _leaving_ prison when those who weren't caught know your name and the fact that you cooperated with law enforcement.


That depends on the prison. If it's minimum security it's unlikely anyone would do anything. Medium or higher? Maybe.
