The way Peter tells it, Kivimaki is a victim of his own infamy.
9:10
We all thought when we heard about Vastamo, hey, maybe this could be Julius.

But in a way, the investigation goes this way when they know that they have their own little domestic hacker.

His lawyer, Peter, was impressed.
16:23
They are dividing, they're doing calculations in their head that in what, 25 number digits.
16:30
No, it don't go like this, you count it like that.
16:33
That's not normal.
25:48
Peter was introduced to Kivimaki through an old colleague.
25:51
And he asked that he has a family friend and he's under 18 that...
25:54
That would you be interested to assist in this case? I said, why not? He seemed much older from his profile of behaving, and he's a very special person in that sense.
26:12
He reads a lot, studies a lot, even though he didn't finish his high school, to my understanding.
26:20
He absorbs a lot of information, and of course he's good with computers.
27:07
Why did he do that?
27:10
He was 13, 14 years old and eager to be involved in this hacker group.
27:17
What was it then called? Wizard or something.
