The idea of a rogue, genius inventor working outside the confines of a government or corporate lab, creating a new technology that could potentially change the world, is certainly tantalising.

Hacking someone's bank account isn't easy, even if they have a shitty password taped to the dashboard of their car or something. But the payoff's totally worth it: With the loot, you can afford things like extravagant fetish porn that costs a penny.
