A legal document posted on PS3Crunch.com, reportedly from the offices of law firm Arnold Ruess, shows that the hacker whose home was earlier this week raided by police is now facing threats of jail time and/or massive fines.

Egorenkov (who calls himself graf_chokolo), has apparently continued posting comments online throughout proceedings, saying:
You know guys, you will say iâm totally crazy now, but i never slept better than in the last 2 days. I donât know how to explain this feeling but i donât care about those threats with jail and high money penalties, btw, SONY wants about 750.000 euros from me if i donât cooperate. They donât know me at all. I donât care about it and they might double it. The higher is the sum the higher gets my motivation. They donât understand what makes me tick. Money and even my life doesnât mean to me very much without knowledge. I have a scientific mind and the knowledge is food to my brain. Without HV, Linux and FreeBSD kernel hacking my life is meaningless.
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe does not comment on legal proceedings, but we have contacted the law firm in question to confirm the validity of these reports. Weâll update if we hear back from them.
