cool, he can shut a machine down with one of these
More Cowbell:
The guy is beyond dumb. He was willingly handing over his social security # and other personal info to someone who is obviously a hacker (since that was what he wanted them for). If he didn't get outed, he would have gotten his identity stolen and bank account wiped out.
ChadTower:

It's possible he did and is just too embarrassed/afraid to report it.  Reporting it would likely implicate him in the crimes he attempted to contract.

He has already admitted to trying to trying to hire the hacker. He has subsequently been fired.

ChadTower:

Fired isn't the same as going to the Police and saying "I tried to hire a criminal to commit a crime and he stole my money."

Since they were misleading him and not actually going to commit the crime, I wonder if he can still potentially be charged with a sort of solicitation crime.
