So the most likely route for a case like this to SCOTUS would be split circuit? I doubt this is the last CFAA case.

Assuming he loses, yes, losing elsewhere and having a circuit split is probably the most likely route.

But who knows, maybe scotus would get bored enough to find it interesting.

I'm betting "no" in part because legislative fixes are being considered right now. If one passes, it would reduce the odds SCOTUS would ever take the case.

He needs to win on appeal for this to go to SCOTUS.
