Those "other things" were all the wild stories that had circulated for years about my hacking, the rumors that I had gotten into the CIA, the FBI, and even NORAD. Not to mention the many other things I had done in my hacking career but not been charged with: manipulating phone company switches all across America; getting information from the California DMV; tapping into an FBI informant’s phone call; listening to voicemail messages of Pacific Bell security agents. And so much more.
