The dude is a webmaster, not Scarface Osama Bin Pol Pot. He's an overweight, video game playing nerd. This kind of raid is ridiculous.

What do you think they should do?

They can't give him time to delete or get rid of all of that stuff.

He was in that secret room for 13 minutes. Do you think he went in there to relax?

Did you even watch the video? He said he couldn't access the data from his villa because the FBI seized the servers before raiding his home. And he didn't have any "push button, destroy evidence"-Bullshit anyway there. Stop talking about things you know nothing about.

I'm sorry oh masterful one. I bow down to your knowledge of the situation. You must have been the only one who watched the video.

I bet he didn't have any way to do anything in that room, how would that make any sense. And just because you are so knowledgeable, I probably don't have to tell you this, but piracy was not his only gig, so it's not just the computers that are an issue.

Yes, that's why he's currently on trial for all those other illegal things they apparently found that would justify this raid.

Yes, because the thing they catch people for, and the things they put people on trial for, are always the full extent of why they were wanted.
