![Extract from Aaron Swartz's wikipedia page: On January 6, 2011, Swartz was arrested by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) police on state breaking-and-entering charges after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet and setting it to download academic journal articles from JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT.[14][15] Federal prosecutors, led by Carmen Ortiz, charged him with two counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,[16] carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release.[17] Swartz declined a plea bargain under which he would have served six months in federal prison, but would have been forced to plead guilty to federal felonies.[18] Two days after the prosecution rejected a counter-offer by Swartz, he was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment.[19][20] In 2013, Swartz was inducted posthumously into the Internet Hall of Fame.[21]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:w2e4cpz7my3ythy43gdmutis/bafkreiajagydftgfekw76dzidbum5lej7wgawbk3poztv7ciqfwy3gbvpm)

“So I said, ‘What is this?’ ‘Sir, this is our digital catapult system’”, Trump went on. “It sounded bad to me. Digital. They have digital. What is digital? And it’s very complicated, you have to be Albert Einstein to figure it out. And I said–and now they want to buy more aircraft carriers – I said, ‘What system are you going to be’– ‘Sir, we’re staying with digital.’ I said, ‘No you’re not. You[’re] going to goddamned steam, the digital costs hundreds of millions of dollars more money and it’s no good’”.
A Guardian review of Trump’s public remarks shows that he has retold that story, with variations, every year since 2017.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:w2e4cpz7my3ythy43gdmutis/bafkreidh46xrkzvqgobarky2a4dydontn7l7s2fsb5dgtgsxrtlibdj6fe)
