À propos de cet audio
A harrowing odyssey of cybercrime and punishment in the United States.
In 2012, 21-year-old Dutch hacker David Schrooten was living at his parents’ house in the Netherlands and spending most of his time online. When he wasn’t squabbling with fellow hackers, he was making plans to visit his Romanian girlfriend. His life turned upside-down when Interpol agents arrested him at an airport in Romania on international hacking charges involving $63 million in damages. Soon Schrooten found himself extradited to the United States, a country where he had never been before. He was imprisoned in Seattle, WA, where he awaited trial, some 5,000 miles from home.
While his future hung in the air, Schrooten kept a journal chronicling his every experience - from the inept public defenders on whom his life depended, to the unimaginable horrors of solitary confinement. And it was during this time that Schrooten struck up a correspondence with a Dutch-American journalist who vowed to help him tell his story.
Alias Fortezza: A Hacker’s Odyssey is the astounding journey, told in Schrooten’s own words, of a young foreigner’s incarceration, as well as a stunning examination of the US justice system at work.

Good Story. I don't agree with portrayal
thanks for sharing your story with all of us, it was very interesting to listen to. the story is 5 stars and the book is worth reading, but I give one star for how the author blatantly sympathizes with david who is a theif, a hacker, and before he was caught he was a boil on the butt of the world. For anyone who reads this, I am Canadian for the record not American.
Moral of the story, don't commit fraud or engage with others who do, or steal stolen credit card information and attempt to sell it to someone else. It seems hard to think the author could be surprised. The largest benefit of this book is to learn what can go wrong when you act stupid. Jail isnt meant to be day camp, it's horrible, so the author shouldn't be so surprised at how horrible prison is. 21 is old enough to know right from wrong.
Instead of fighting extraditions, and figuring out loopholes to avoid prosecution, the best way to not wind up in jail is to not do what the author did. In the end, a 2.5 year prison term is on the lighter side of what he deserved for doing what he did, so i feel no remorse for what the author had to go through. You shouldn't be able to hide in a country far away from the country you affect with your behavior. In davids own words he is a citizen of the world, and he is accountable to the countries he affected, and if the netherlands was weak on this crime the USA did the right thing to nab him outside of his country. Don't steal credit card information from American credit card companies - lesson learned. Chalking up his true intentions to "bravado" is not acceptable, he had intentions to engage in ciber crime and fraud when he went to romania. He was 21 and knew what he was doing was wrong. Getting caught, and getting out after 2.5 years is lucky.
ciber crime is complex, but dealing sympathetically to david fails to bring to light that what he did is both illegal and immoral. It shifts the wrong from DAVID to the USA. Murdering murderers is a crime, and raping rapists is a crime, so stealing credit cards from credit card theives is a crime, so the authors shouldn't act surprised david went through this ordeal! thank you to the USA for nabbing this punk, and hopefully these prosecutors keep up the good work!!!
