Next-gen console info leaker SuperDae threatens to leak more info
Kotaku reports that SuperDaE, who has the real first name of Dylan, claims that he has set up a way to send out an automated message to his Twitter account if he is not in front of his computer in Perth at 8 pm local time (8 am Eastern time). He claims the Twitter message will have a link to a FTP server where anyone will be able to access two TB of read-only files.
Those FTP files reportedly contain software development kits for the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 and the Wii U consoles. He also claims to have code from Epic's Unreal Engine 4 graphics engine, older code for upcoming games such as Company of Heroes 2 and more.
While the local police and FBI raid on SuperDaE's home happened in February, no charges were filed at that time. SuperDaE believes the raid was conducted thanks to a request from Microsoft, but the company has denied any official involvement. SuperDaE claims he is making a "political statement" with today's threatened file release, adding. "The U.S. works on Capitalism. The government isn't Microsoft's personal servant."
Update: Gizmodo Australia reports that SuperDaE was in fact charged by the local police but not on any computer related issues. SuperDaE posted on his Twitter account that he has made bail and will apparently not be releasing his data of game code and information today. He has yet to state what exactly he has been charged with.
SuperDae gave thetechgame.com his warrent papers in February you can read that story here.

-Karma-VEVO Lol. WTF is the point? He has 'classified' info that will be declassified at the end of the year anyways. He's risking a lengthy prison sentence just because he wants to show off? That or he must have some grudge against Microsoft.
he cant get any prison time for leaking info. its not like he signed a contract to keep his mouth shut
Even if he didn't sign a contract, its illegal to distribute copyrighted files.

Actually dev kits are different from the final product. That's how the 360 jtag was formed. They looked at a 360 devkit, looked at the differences between it and the 360. And built a chip that connected the differences back together. Creating a JTAG.

This is so funny, tbf he can't be arrested for leaking info, as there's no legal implications saying he cannot.
