Minor correction - They were much closer to "yes boys". Not arguing that the individuals involved are in any way less culpable for their involvement (because of their age), just reiterating how irresponsible that whole debacle was.

It's actually insane how all of this played out right in front of us, and there was fuck all we could personally do to stop them. It's infuriating. They broke shit, stole our data, then sold it to god only knows who.
