As found in "Suck":

"In an apparent fulfillment of early-internet predictions about
frictionless economies, Patrick Naughton, the former Infoseek executive
and Java star now best known as the New Economy's Humbert Humbert, has
proven that a skillful programmer can even cut a good deal with his
jailors. A story in the San Jose Mercury News details Naughton's efforts
to provide sleuth services to the FBI in exchange for a lighter sentence."
