Is there a back story to this? I've never heard of him.
I may be getting him confused with someone else, not sure, but I think he did a big no-no by "altering normal game play by means of unethical tinkering" to put it nicely.
Also, may have been better to let HiTech know about this, he would likely not take this lightly. If I remember there was an arena message about how such actions were not tolerated in any way.
