Apparently that version of the story is incorrect.
Explain please.

"Arion Kurtaj from Oxford was a key member of international gang Lapsus$.
The gang's attacks on tech giants including Uber, Nvidia and Rockstar Games cost the firms nearly $10m.

The judge said Kurtaj's skills and desire to commit cyber-crime meant he remained a high risk to the public.

A mental health assessment used as part of the sentencing hearing said he "continued to express the intent to return to cyber-crime as soon as possible. He is highly motivated."

"The jury was told that while he was on bail for hacking Nvidia and BT/EE and in police protection at a Travelodge hotel, he continued hacking and carried out his most infamous hack.

Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone.

Kurtaj stole 90 clips of the unreleased and hugely anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6."

he always used virtual computers so all he needs is a linux device of some sort to do this stuff

sim swap, steal bitcoin, use bitcoin to pay for credentials, slowly get better credentials (more social engineering) until he has access to what he wants

it's amazing how much money this kid amassed stealing crypto - he bought doxbin for 100k

Yeah but "sentenced to life in a mental hospital" isn't exactly correct.
