givessomefucks' entire job on Lemmy is to spout absolute unhinged nonsense when they have no idea what they're talking about – but to say it authoritatively enough that people believe them and to never go on the defensive when called out.
It's completely insane.
From my understanding, the leakers do have a playable build. Not much is known though. What's unhinged about this, and why would federal crime charges worry some guy that's probably somewhere in Asia or eastern Europe behind an army of vpns. Most hacking and leaking we hear about isn't legal.
Edit: oh the malware part, I get it. Ya that's silly. I misunderstood the federal crime rebuttal.
I had no idea it expanded past their rant on how the dnc is improving AND any evidence to the contrary is just neoliberal propaganda
