Are you speaking, perchance, about the 2003 firstie music debacle where they turned off the internet at USNA? If so, I know a guy who was one of the prime suspects in that incedent. Only, he had done his homework while in 'Law for the Junior Officer' class with me, and when they tried to search/seize his computers, he replied with, "Sure thing, Sir, but can I see your CO's authorization?" The IT LT is reported to have muttered something like, "Oh, shit," before he scuttled off to get said paperwork. The resulting window of opportunity was enough for my acquaintance to format/degauss every single piece of incriminating data. They put him on restriction anyway, just because they could. I think the guy wound up working on the DDX project after getting let go after not completing flight school.
Good thing they never found the guy running the porn server, though.
