People like to use the term treason a lot, but as it is defined under Article III, Section 3 of the US Constitution, their actions are not treasonous. If you can prove otherwise, I am all for it though!

Specifically, the were charged with:

Violations of U.S. export control, computer fraud and access device fraud laws. The Department filed the DPA today, along with a criminal information alleging that the defendants conspired to violate such laws.

I think they are losers, scumbags and unethical and I hope that no one who reads HN ever hires them and that they never work in any capacity that comes into contact with IT, Infosec or any other hi-tech industry.
