Why is he in jail anyway? Certainly he's not a pedo drug dealing terrorist… So there is another reason. As to what that is, we can only speculate.

My speculation is that he set a too high price to share the private data with france or USA.

If that's the case, sounds like he should have never collected the data in the first place :) Data is a toxic asset, as Schneier explained in 2016 https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/03/data_is_a_tox...
