Really as soon as a lawyer is calling you is when you should stop talking and get your own lawyer.
Comment on Former Bungie, Pokémon Lawyer Explains How They Caught Leakers
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 4 months ago“It’s a federal crime” : the implication is clear.
What was said after that was sophistry to make him sound better.
The moment he said “it’s a federal crime”, the response should be “then I guess we’re done talking here”.

The parent literally asked whether their kid was in trouble. Wouldn’t it be disingenuous to not answer truthfully (at the caveat that it was actually the truth)?
I saw it more as a way to resolve it peacefully without getting to the stuff nobody likes

Well there’s the problem. Doesn’t seem that the kid did anything illegal, so the federal crime implication was a very disingenuous scare tactic.

And he still didnt answer. His response, to immediately bring up that “hacking” is a federal crime, implied that he is in trouble, but then what he said after changed it to “well, he WOULD be in trouble, but if you do XYZ, maybe we can change that.” Thats a threat, plain and simple.
