Coyner has been arrested and charged with "conspiracy, theft and computer intrusion," along with 13 other students who were apparently working with him. The details of the "hacking" are sketchy—PC World says he "somehow obtained a password," which could involve almost anything—but the best part of the story isn't about his tech exploits:
Coyner boosted the grades of a dozen students but saved the biggest improvements for himself, police said. He was selected as his school's salutatorian at the 2010 graduation, an honor he never legitimately earned, according to the Nye County Sheriff's Office. The salutatorian honor is usually given to the student with the second-highest marks at graduation.
Coyner, now a student at the University of Nevada in Reno, had a 4.54 grade point average, according to a profile of him in the Pahrump Valley Times, written around the time of his graduation last year.
Pimply-faced geeks just can not be trusted anymore. Before the technological boom these kids had no outlet to be make money illegally. It would just be chicks who fucked for money and some pothead selling some weed in high school. Now nerds are getting into the act hacking into computers. I really don't trust the public education system out in Nevada. Bunch a cowboys and black jack dealers living in trailers in the middle of the desert just doesn't scream intellectual capability to me. Maybe this kid should just get a pass for being the only person at his high school to understand how to use a computer. College was a different story though, huh? Kid couldn't hack it in the big leagues.
That last line was the best pun your gonna hear all day. Don't even bother tryin to hear another one.
