Exclusive: DOGE official at DOJ bragged about hacking, distributing pirated software.
Oopsey
A top employee of billionaire Elon Musk who is now working in the U.S. Justice Department previously bragged about hacking and distributing pirated software, according to archived copies of his former websites reviewed by Reuters. Christopher Stanley, a 33-year-old engineer who has worked at both Musk's social media company X and space-launch company SpaceX, is a senior advisor in the Deputy Attorney General's office, according to a former Justice Department official and a staff directory listing reviewed by Reuters.
You know what they say: once dodgy, always…...
In response to questions for this story, the Justice Department did not directly address Stanley's current role or his past but said he had an active security clearance that predated his employment at DOGE. In a statement to Reuters, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had "full trust and confidence in Chris’s ability to help the federal government." Stanley, the White House, SpaceX and X did not respond to requests for comment.
Pam Bondi said something? Well, that is reassuring.
In the hours after Reuters contacted Stanley, several of his old websites vanished from the Internet Archive. Mark Graham, director of the Wayback Machine, declined to answer specific questions about the disappearance of Stanley’s websites but said people who own the rights to sites can request to have their content withheld from the archive.
* Nothing to see here.
Nothing suspicious at all.
Move on.
You know, Elon, at some point fairly soon, your worst nightmare will come true
No one will give a fuck what you say.
What a crying shame.
Pass a bloody hanky, someone.
