Difference is he didn't tell you and ask if he could show you, but instead you come home and are getting naught with the wife and he's sitting on your couch, eating popcorn. He committed a crime

Yes!!! Breaking and entering is a crime and if the precident is that your accounts are seized then so be it.

He's admitted that he committed the CRIME... He should be prepared to suffer the consequences. And innocent till proven guilty is a tenant if the American judicial. Such a concept may not have Jurisprudence inAusteailia( I don't pretend to know ). In any case he hacked the places for what ever reasons but he knew it was a crime so let him deal.
