Dear poobathegreat 

The full name is Zachary ‘Tex’ Hildreth.
Apart from two recent articles on his activities, the majority of
articles are on pay-per-article databases. The Boston Globe appears to
have followed the story in great detail. Because of copyright I cannot
reproduce any of the articles here.

The subject appears in these two press releases:
September 12, 2002
http://www.ago.state.ma.us/txt/hildplea.htm
December 21, 2000
http://www.ago.state.ma.us/txt/hildreth.htm

There are 15 articles in the Boston Globe archive. The first is
October 18, 1985 when the subject is mentioned in a report about
computer hacking. An article of  June 30, 1989 refers to him being
sentenced to 12 – 15 years imprisonment - ‘the flamboyant computer
wizard convicted of bilking nearly a million dollars from investors in
his Braintree consulting firm’. Finally in 1992 when he operated a
smuggled computer in his prison cell.
