Fake accounts are clearly a thing, you are right, so it seems silly to then assume that the police and justice systems wouldn't be aware of them or assume they were impossible. What do you do in any other scenario where you've apprehended wrongly or are wrongly suspected?

If he forgets the password or it gets magically reset somehow and he legitimately no longer has access to the account (a stretch....password resets are a thing for this reason), then perhaps he should still serve his time anyway as the crime has already been committed. If it was unrecoverable, then of course he'd still be able to get out. It even says in the article he was sentenced to 14 months, not until he gave up the password.

Having grown up in the UK and known people to have been convicted of crimes, it's never struck me as disgusting or something that is particularly unfair. You're within your rights to refuse to answer a question, but this could be used against you in court.

I am very unfamiliar with American law concerning these matters, so I'm not sure how much of a divide there is between America and the UK when it comes to this.

Surely if you're assuming that the person reading this has anxiety or something similar leading to their desire for a more laid-back job, the proper advice should be to go to their doc and see about getting diagnosed and prescribed. I'd say self medication is probably a last resort and even then one that should be done with caution.
