UPDATE: It’s 4 MONTHS, not YEARS. I am not sure how my brain autocorrected to years. It must’ve been during the time I was laughing at “chuckle-fuck”. My apologies.
Nope, the Annapolis man was not me.
The phrase "chuckle-fuck Zodiak Killer" was the single most reason I chose to make this case into an eCrimeBytes Nibble.
Sit back and to listen to a short story about an Annapolis man threatening Ted Cruz!

The land of corn, cows, and... computer crimes? Yes, it seems that even in this idyllic Midwestern state, technology can get people in trouble. Just ask Jonathan Manzi, the former CEO of Ink Labs, a tech company that used to call Lincoln home, until its CEO decided to hack a former employee's email and a competitor's customer list. Because, you know, that's how you keep your company alive, by committing cyber crimes.
Manzi's lawyer tried to defend his actions by comparing them to someone who burglarizes a home to get back his wife's stolen wedding ring. Right, because hacking a former employee's Google email account and Dropbox account, then impersonating him to gain control over his phone and access his new employer's Dropbox account, and finally sending disparaging, anonymous emails to its customers and potential customers, is totally the same as getting back a piece of jewelry.
And let's get one more thing straight: breaking into someone's home is illegal and should never be used to diminish hacking, which is also illegal.
Manzi himself, now the CEO of Beyond Protocol, another tech company, offered a tearful apology in court and said he regretted the sense of violation he caused. He also said he viewed the people he worked with as family, which explains why he hacked their emails and jeopardized their careers. He even tried to justify his actions by saying he was trying to save Ink Labs from failing, as if cyber crime was a viable business strategy.
Let's hope Manzi learned his lesson, and that Lincoln can go back to being known for its corn and cows, not its cyber criminals.
