Summary
Christopher Stanley, a senior advisor at the DOJ and former SpaceX engineer, previously ran websites promoting hacking, piracy, and video game cheats under aliases like “Reneg4d3.”
Archived posts show he bragged about exploits and posted a 2014 video of a database breach.
Despite his past, Stanley holds a security clearance, and Attorney General Pam Bondi expressed full confidence in him.
Critics argue his history poses national security risks. His old websites disappeared after Reuters began investigating.
