Off topic, but I thought OP was still in prison? I can't seem to find any notes of his release on his blog, so could someone please elaborate?


He's out on a technicality but unlikely to go back. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weev#Conviction_vacated


It's a bit unfair to say he was out on a technicality. The appeals judge ruled that the venue was improper, and venue can be extremely important. Not to mention the judge also saw several issues with the original charges.


the relevant search query was "weev conviction overturned"
