Why would there be that much data involved? Was the guy running a data center?

@Ghislaine Their reasoning for it is that they have too much stuff to sift through (allegedly), according to the article 4,000 terabytes (wtf) of data, and the judge set a deadline for November 18th for the trial date.

@Ghislaine I remember when Sam Hyde talked about how when John McAfee died, he would release 30 terabytes of data as a Deadman switch. Sam commented that "Who the fuck has 30 terabytes of data like that just sitting around?" Like @Humpleupagus is inferring as well, why would someone just have that unless they're running servers and shit?

@Bad_Banner @Humpleupagus @Ghislaine an underappreciated part of having a deadman switch is not telling everyone you have a deadman switch. Feds got to his VPS and rendered it inert before they killed him.

Why is there 4petabytes of data? HOW is there 4PB of data?
None if that data is relevant to the question of his guilt or innocence.
