Half-Life 2 developers, Valve, claim that the "primary" hacker responsible
for the theft of the game's source code is a German man. The man is said to have contacted Gabe Newell
(Valve's boss) directly in an effort to deny his involvement in the actual theft—he did admit to hacking Valve's
server. Though a semi-elaborate sting operation was planned (involving a job interview and the FBI), the
situation was simplified, and he was arrested by German authorities. Ouch. Let this be a lesson to us
all.
