Original Note:
This is an old fake meme. The photo shows Zachary Neagle in 2009, a then 14-year-old from Idaho who killed his father and later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. The story about a boy stealing billions of dollars from a Swiss bank is made up. https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/us-courtroom-photos-do-not-show-an-11-year-old-hacker-who-stole-billions-from-idUSL2N2NY1WH/ https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-436000949058
