But… why? Why do this to your own kid? The article doesn’t seem to describe a motive, just a lot of crazy.

Well the animals are killed, the adrenal glands sit on top if the kidneys, but you have to keep in mind that cattle and sheep aren’t exactly just used for that. So yes, this harms the animal in that they’re killed, but the environmental impact is the same as raising any livestock, and the animals required to supply adrenaline is a small fraction of the animals raised to be eaten or produce dairy products.
I couldn’t even begin to estimate the environmental impact of synthesis, but as far as I know this isn’t really done at any scale, but if it had to be ramped up… I don’t know.

Extraction and purification of adrenaline from the adrenal glands of cattle and sheep is one way you can produce it at scale. Since the early 1900’s though synthetic production of epinephrine has been ongoing, and generally involves reacting catechol and chloroacetyl chloride.

I wouldn’t even try to guess, but I’d hate to be in their shoes right now. I think if the money ultimately came from fraud then the disgorgement process will include the parents’ assets at the very least.

He certainly did, which was… different. I gather that he isn’t quite the towering genius he believes himself to be.

He doesn’t really have grounds to push for a favorable deal, his co-conspirators already snapped them up. At this point he just has to plead not-guilty and hope that he can somehow undermine the government’s case.
He won’t be able to, but that’s his tuft of grass on the cliff side, the last thing he can grasp

NASA’s budget is pretty puny compared to obvious sinkholes like military and social spending, if you want to hide something it seems easier to work with a couple of trillion, not 30 or so billion.
