Dyne was removed from the local group, by Nex's insistence.

Against what many would consider legal common sense, Dyne doesn't waive his right to a speedy trial.

This pisses the judge, prosecutor, and his own defense attorney off.

The local news tries to live stream it, but the US government shoots this down, citing national security concerns.

Excerpts from the trial trickle out throughout the day, but most of the details are redacted. State secrecy privileges.

What the public does learn, however, is quite complicated.

Dyne never illegally accessed the servers of EraTech. What he's accused of is using his classified knowledge of computer security to exploit a mathematical loophole in their protocols.

This loophole, the government argued, could have undermined the security of US elections if electronic voting was adopted, and this secret fell into the hands of enemy nations.

Dyne's defense was simple: All he did was simple mathematics.
