That just looks like standard IRC bantz though. Do you know if he was actually trying to sell/weaponize the malware he was developing? (I assume he was, given the indictment, but can't hurt to ask.)

I'd go with "no doubt" for both. Although I'd assume he'd have loved the $20k if it was actually on the table.
