It's unlikely his actions will be covered by civil law, they will be covered by criminal law. If you murder your boss is the company going to pour over your contract to see what the small print says? Or are they going to go for a criminal prosecution? It's much the same thing, what he did was criminal and the solution is not going to lie in civil matters such as the wording of his contract.
As for the lawyers, they are paid regardless of what stupid arguments they pursue so don't put too much faith in that.

With civil law, they would be suing for damages, which they could win by proving that he intentionally caused damage.
Under criminal law, it doesn't look like he's broken any. You can't call activities that are in his job description hacking, and the fact that he did it with malicious intent is a matter for the (US equivalent of the) industrial tribunal, not the law courts.

What qualifies you to make such a statement?

From your attempt to dodge the question I will assume you have no reasonable basis whatsoever to state that so there is no real reason to believe it is true. As it forms the basis of your argument we must also assume the rest of what you said wasn't true either.

I'm not dodging questions; I'm just not interested in giving away personal information on the Interwebs, or getting into an argument with someone who is obviously angling for one.
If you want an argument, go say something intelligent to the mutt muncher.

Ah, I see...so a web developer from The Netherlands is actually also an expert on American criminal law but just doesn't want to say so on a public forum....gotcha

I'm not a web developer, and I'm not from the Netherlands.
Take it elsewhere, now.

Developers, who had previously been expendable, became indispensable. Charged with creating the code that would underpin businesses’ newfound success, they became royalty. "It's good to be the king."

I am surprised the author of this puffery didn't claim that DevOps+Cloud (from his company, Accenture) would make the blind see, and bring about world-peace

On Monday, the Microsoft founder and co-chair of The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation hosted an "AMA," or "ask me anything," session on Reddit, during which a participant inquired, "If you could give 19-year-old Bill Gates some advice, what would it be?" Invest in Apple stock?

They're already smarter than clickbait authoring "journalists".
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Individuals would fly a week-long mission in a “long loop” around the Moon and back. Aren't Norton and Alice a little too old for that now?

The question should be: Why not on the Moon? What is there that keeps their palms sweaty?

Not having a Big Falcon Rocket ready to fly in the near future is probably the biggest challenge for an actual manned landing. F9H just doesn't have the throw weight for that.

Well, the set the built to fake the moon landings has been sitting idle for a long, long time, and they need to recover at least some of the investment.

It's one of the stupid icons in firefox that you promptly remove from your URL bar less it give your browser cancer. I'd assumed it was their dumpsterfire from the getgo.
