Post body
The defendent Dade Murphy, who called himself "Zero Cool," repeatedly committed criminal acts of a malicious nature.
He possessed a superior intelligence, which he used to a destructive and anti-social end.
His computer virus crashed 1,507 systems, including Wall Street trading systems, single handedly causing a \\7-point drop\\ in the stock market.
His family was fined $45,000 and he was forbidden from touching a computer or touchtone telephone until the day of his 18th birthday.
7 years later in 1995, he was released, and the true-crime documentary movie Hackers was made, detailing his young adult life.
