Foreseeable Consequences (Destiny)
Required disclaimer: I am not your lawyer, nor anyone else's lawyer here and relying on my advice as legal advice would be foolhardy and the act of a madman.
Speaking generally, and not about this specific case, the law is broadly peppered with culpability for people who solicit, encourage, conspire, or otherwise contribute to illegal acts. This is hard to pin down because the theory of the crime/tort is not clear, but I would expect someone to investigate theories included, but not limited to; fraud, tortious interference with contracts/business relationships, and/or straight up theft. It also is worth mentioning that the Patriot Act (nee Freedom Act) and DMCA are broadly drafted — especially when it comes to computers and communications — and have been applied to a wide range of online activities.
Not that we will ever know as I doubt this will ever go forward under any theory. But, what do I know?
