Infamous hacker, George Hotz, recently asked his fans for donations to cover his legal fees following the Sony lawsuit on his PlayStation 3 hack.
A few days ago Hotz commented that he has acquired enough money from the donations to pay his lawyers; however, recent speculation suggests that Microsoft may have contributed a large sum of the legal fees Hotz needed.
The information was supposedly leaked from a source close to Hotz, who has asked to remain anonymous to ensure it does not damage Hotz' defence.
Microsoft previously offered George Hotz money to hack the Windows 7 phone, so this speculation could prove to be true.

This wasn't geohots purpose, stop blaming him, CL's were easy enough to host before all this started, now with all accesible FTP Clients and File Managers along with tutorials it was bound to happen, that and CoD is such a huge game.

Microsoft being on his side still don't change what hes done.
He broke the terms and conditions, so he will lose.

Haha, I know what you mean
I do that all the ****ing time :L
I hope this rumour is true though, I think geohot only wants to help.
I remember when he first did it and put on his site "contact me for help on how to make your next console more secure" or something like that. Little legend he is :love:
