What is the bigger crime? Telling people to work 80 hours a week without overtime? Threatening female coworkers with bad reviews if they dont go on a date? Calling me racial slurs and stealing my lunch? I can go on and on my man you weren't there

I don't need to work in software, I have others work in it for me.

Those things are repugnant and some of them grossly illegal.

This is exactly why we have laws and don't allow people to enact vigilante justice. It didn't take long to figure out that hurt and misguided people act and speak out of vengeance and hurt. Nobody heals, nobody learns.

Even more, and what you ironically put on display here, is that you may have dented their pocket book but who you ultimately hurt was the users and your colleagues. Your woefully misguided sense of justice has ensured that the only outcome for everyone is hurt.

Not to defend the obviously very unmoored gentleman, but if he worked where all hints seem to imply he worked, the company was already using their database to extort users.

Edit: Just in case this was unclear though, that would definitely be another datapoint in the "Report this because it will be taken seriously" column. Not advocating vigilante justice, even if I'm pretty sure they were as slimy as he's saying.
