Florida teen identified as the mastermind of a scheme that gained control of Twitter accounts of prominent politicians, celebrities and technology moguls pleads not guilty to multiple counts of fraud.

Two other men were also charged in the case. Mason Sheppard, 19, of Bognor Regis, U.K., and Nima Fazeli, 22, of Orlando, were charged separately last week in California federal court.

The documents do not specify Kirk’s real identity but say he is a teen being prosecuted in the Tampa area. Although the case was investigated by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice, Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren said his office is prosecuting Clark in state court because Florida law allows minors to be charged as adults in financial fraud cases when appropriate. He called Clark the leader of the hacking scam.

Listen it’s 2020, teens can identify however they want

If a kid can do that, imagine how many times NSA or others have penetrated social networks to extract all your information. Of course, NSA also has the home court advantage of secretly employing Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc. employees to give them that information directly.

U sure

This kid is a national asset ...why on earth he is being prosecuted ?

Shows how vulnerable our system is

Just give the kid a job already.

this kid will have a bright future
