    There are skilled lawyers, and successful lawyers, but there are no good lawyers.

      How about: 1) write a badass virus. 2) Unleash it to the world. 3) Have your friend rat you out. 4) Take some of your share of the bounty and hire a good lawyer :)

      And spend your bounty on what in jail? MS would not offer that much money if they don't feel they have a good chance of conviction

        Unless they thought they had no chance of finding the writer of the virus. Then they could get some free viral-stylee advertising.

          Zombie masterminds wanted undead or alive[^] I'd like to think that someone who knows the authors, will turn the little pr!@ks over; $250k is a good chunk of change.

            Uh. I'm not sure if you had a brainfart or what, but $250K = $250,000, not $250. Not that it's blindingly obvious or anything.

                I quoted that directly from the article's content, so perhaps the author had a brainfart (which I dont think), but not me :)

                  Really? When I visit that link, I see:

                  Erstwhile college friends of German VXer Sven Jaschan, who was convicted of writing the Sasser worm, picked up a $250,000 payout for their efforts.

                  Which is odd... unless they made a booboo and corrected it since you viewed it, which is possible :)

                    Which seems to be the case, do I get a noddy badge for noticing the 'typo' :)

                              What can I say, I'm just a blood-thirsty Celt who is really tired of the Vandals. The Visigoths to for that matter. ;P My hair may look lime-washed, but only a small area of my skin is panted blue :wtf:
