"Only one of these was detailed in the indictment: a thumb drive that prosecutors say was advertised as one that could help users break into computers."
ID10T and using a work email, did he want to get caught? Good luck finding a job after he gets out. The fact that the trial is set for April Fools Day is a nice touch.
