GeoPOT! PlayStation 3 hacker arrested

George Hotz, aka Geohot, the man who hacked the PlayStation 3, has been arrested for possession of marijuana.
He was on his way to the SXSW conference in Austin when he was arrested by police in Sierra Blanca, Texas, AbovetheLaw.com reports.
22-year-old Geohot earned internet fame when he jailbroke the iPhone in 2008. He followed that up by collaborating with a hacker group to crack the PlayStation 3 wide open. Sony then hit the US courts before both parties settled.
He had been working with Google and, more recently with Facebook, before being cuffed by the police.
Hotz, apparently, holds a medical marijuana license in California, where he lives. In the glove box of his car he kept ¼ oz. of marijuana and chocolate edibles equivalent to less than 1/8 oz., a source familiar with the case told the website.
That was enough to set the sniffer dogs barking. Then, according to the report, there was some argument over the value of the drug in possession - the local sheriff apparently took the whole weight of the chocolate as the proper measure, valuing it at $800, instead of the $15 Hotz allegedly paid for it.
Hotz was booked for a felony and posted $1500 bail. He is yet to comment on the matter.

That is the dumbest article I have read today. The felony will get thrown out and he will get a simple possession charge. On another note, I was under the assumption that he was a NJ resident not a CA resident. If we remember way back when he was being sued by Sony, he fought to have his case heard in his home state. NJ.

You're just talking out of your ass now... I suggest you go back and re-take art history.

I am sure he will be fine ,lol I walked away from a class 2 felony. 3/5 yrs i was looking at ,but i had a great lawyer = no jail for me. This should be a piece of cake for him..For me it was nothing like robbery or violent. Just something to do with Street Bikes & a Nark ..

Don't get wrong impression everyone who lives in the fast lane has issues sometimes.
Long time ago..

I wasn't me .It was the 1 arm , 1 eyed, 1 legged man

talking out of my ass is art also

yes: 421
No: 299

Sounds like the majority likes talking out of their ass

Note: alcohol (Da Vinci -> absinthe) is a drug also. Even coffee is a drug (try to have fun with someone on a 1-day coffee cold turkey...)

If I've learned one FACT in this life, it's this: The majority doesn't know sh!t.

You're right, the majority DOES talk out of it's ass. By all means, talk all the **** you want We are all friends here, it's all good anyway.Personally, I dislike EVERYTHING about da vinci, even who he was and had affiliations with. What about Renoir, Rembrandt, Klimt, Bosch? I'll give you Dali and VanGogh...

Though, I disagree with you on everyone needing coffee/drugs to function.
