Gonzalez Psych Report Tells Of 12-Year-Old Sex and Doing 5,000 Pushups
Written by Evan SchumanMarch 25th, 2010
The strange case of Albert Gonzalez, cyberthief to the SKUs, gets even stranger. Trying to establish that he's social—and should therefore not get a reduced sentence because of severe computer addiction and Asperger's Disorder—the man considered to be a hacker's hacker was reported by a government psychiatrist to have "had sexual relations with women at ages 12 and 14 and was able to hook up, largely at will, thereafter."
Another bizarre note: the psychiatrist—without comment—quoted Gonzalez about how fit he appeared. "At one point, [Gonzalez] explained that he could no longer do the 5,000 pushups he once did regularly and probably could do only 600." Hold on a second. Didn't the good doctor detect even a faint whiff of BS? Presumably, the claim meant "in one continuous session" or it doesn't mean much. The Guinness world record for pushups in an hour is 3,877; it was set in Indonesia in 1988.

I have strong reservations about the 'individual' certification and posting of that information for merchants. Can you imagine the potential employee poaching that might occur? The implications when competitors can look up how many are certified with each of their competitors?
