Andrew Auernheimer also known as Weev is free from prison. Last weekend, the 29 year old Weev was freed from Pennsylvania’s Allenwood Federal Correctional Center. Weev was just released and has been spending his first five days out of prison after the court decided to reverse its verdict and leave his conviction.

Weev has a new interest still involving trolling. However, this time he has decided to join the financial industry by establishing a new hedge fund named, TRO LLC, said a report from TechCrunch.

Weev sat down to discuss the matter with TechCrunch. He was asked by TechCrunch on his future plans after being out of prison. Weev said, “I am starting a new fund, TRO LLC (yes, the troll corporation), based in generating actionable financial intelligence from the computer underground. The primary strategy will be short equities.”

When asked how activists could avoid the same fate he encountered, Weev answered, “One can abandon their citizenship in a tyranny for more reasonable shores. That’s about it. “Three Felonies a Day” is a great book explaining the commonplace reality of capricious indictments.”
