When they caught him, they gave him an old Russian neurotoxin that would make it so he would never be able to hack a computer for anyone ever again (Gibson 5-6). Now, he makes his living as a hustler in Chiba City, Japan. To make life worse for him, his girlfriend stole some RAM he was going to sell to pay his debts to a drug dealer, called Wage.
