Brief statement from Liviu
"First of all, I want to acknowledge my mistake, express my regret, and state that I am willing to do everything in my power to try to make amends and assist the people harmed by the software I created. I never imagined it could cause so much damage.
I respectfully ask the American justice system to consider an alternative sentence to imprisonment that would allow me to work so I can contribute to repairing the damage caused in this case. If you believe in my cause and are willing to support me, you can help by considering me for a position in the IT field.
My promise, through this public appeal, is to dedicate myself entirely to creating solutions and web/online services aimed at fighting cybercrime and online identity theft, to help protect people from being harmed or attacked in the online environment. No matter the path I must take in the coming period, this has become my goal: to create something beneficial that helps contribute to the security of people and makes their lives safer online. Trust me, I am a rational and persevering person when it comes to work—you can take a look at my skills for proof.
I am a faithful person and trust that God will help me overcome this difficult challenge.
I want to sincerely apologize to those who were harmed by the software I created, as well as to my children, my wife, my parents, and my friends, who stand by me during these trying times.
Thank you for your support!"
