Hope they lock him up till he's an adult then make him pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for doing what he did. Is there any news of any websites he attacked trying to get him to pay for what he did?

Seeing him online means nothing even if it was him, attacks are done with nothing to do with SA-MP.
