If the details laid out in the article are true, it's pretty clear the guy has a rockstar mentality and takes advantage of women who are blinded by the glow of his fame.

I wonder if Interpol would have been so zealous in pursuing him had he been a footballer on holiday instead of the most notorious cyber-activist of our day?
