What happened next was probably to be expected from a disruptive crowd watching the Zoom hearing of an infamous hacker: someone started playing porn. The hearing continues with prosecutor Darrell Dirks explaining how Clark was moving the bitcoin he allegedly scammed from Twitter users in last month’s hack of high-profile accounts. “Sorry, I’m removing people as quickly as I can whenever a disruption happens,” Nash said. In a recording of the incident, judge Christopher Nash is seen struggling to bring order to his virtual courtroom after a meeting participant unmutes and begins rambling loudly.

Wednesday night’s hearing was about whether Clark’s bond should be lowered from its original sum of US$750,000 and if he should be required to prove money used to pay the bond was gained lawfully, according to cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs. A court hearing for alleged Twitter hacker Graham Clark was cut short on Wednesday night due to constant interruptions of the Zoom call including one troll sharing a pornographic video to the entire meeting.Ĭlark was arrested earlier in the week for being the alleged ‘mastermind’ behind a Twitter hack that saw him take control of notable Twitter accounts like Elon Musk and Kanye West in order to scam bitcoin from users.
