He got a legal threat when he was 19 and claimed to be no longer hacking people's paypals. We don't actually know that he was a minor when he stopped.

I think it's fine to say that things done even at 19 or younger shouldn't be with people forever. But it's certainly newsworthy, given the types of sensitive information DOGE staff are given access to. People can decide for themselves if it's a problem or if it's actually smart to hire people with hacking backgrounds for reasons some folks here in Hacker News would argue. The idea it's out-of-bounds to even report on it, not by you but others here, is wild.
