Adrian Lamo, now 18 months into a two-year probation for hacking the NYT, is again in hot water — this time because he failed to give a DNA sample to the federal government. Snip from Kevin Poulsen's report in Wired News:
On Tuesday, federal probation officer Michael Sipe filed a notice of violation in a Northern California court accusing Lamo of refusing to submit a blood sample, in violation of Sipe's instructions and a 2-year-old federal law.
"He reported to the probation office as instructed; however, he refused to provide a blood sample for DNA testing, in violation of the general condition of supervision requiring compliance with federal law," the filing reads.
