With a high bandwidth Internet connection and with Microsoft Windows, you can all kinds of things going on and not be aware of it. In all likelihood the DoD official had a very high bandwidth connection and wouldn't have notice if something else was sharing it. So other than his computer operating a little slower there wouldn't have been many red flags that something was wrong.

Now this is all just speculation. But it would make sense to drop the case against him if this is what happened. And it has definitely happened to other people.

Interesting background -- thanks. If this guy is innocent, I'm glad the charges have been dropped. Maybe the DoD needs to get some better firewall software.
