Hotz is a Boca fan then.
George Hotz has apparently left the USA and headed south. To South America in fact. This is according to legal documents filed by Sony and discovered by Vghq.
From the look of the Boca Juniors' football team shirt he's sporting in the image you can see in this story, he's apparently headed to Argentina where he'll be winding up River Plate fanboys.
The court document states that:
"After Magistrate Judge Spero ordered an inspection of Hotz’s devices and ordered Hotz to appear at a deposition in California, SCEA learned that Hotz had deliberately removed integral components of his impounded hard drives prior to delivering them to a third party neutral and that Hotz is now in South America, an excuse for why he will not immediately provide the components of his hard drives as requested by the neutral.
“Hotz’s attempts to dodge this Court’s authority raise very serious questions.”
For his part, Hotz is dismissive stating on his blog:
"Apparently, I have fled the country. ROFL
"Factually, it's true I'm in South America, on a vacation I've had planned and paid for since November. I mean, it is Spring break; hacking isn't my life. Rest assured that not a dime of legal defense money would ever go toward something like this. And of course (law firm Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP) loves the idea of painting me as an international fugitive. I have been in contact with my lawyers almost every day; I would not let the case suffer. That said, I also won't let this ridiculous lawsuit run my life either. Then the fearmongerers win."
I will be back, I hear it's hard to come by the Xperia Play down here."
More as things unfold.
