Warren added:
Clark will be charged as an adult under Florida law, not federal law, because Florida law gives us more flexibility to charge a minor as an adult in a financial fraud case.
The accused gained access to Twitter accounts and violated Twitter’s internal controls by compromising a Twitter employee.
We appreciate the swift action of law enforcement in this investigation and will continue to cooperate as the case progresses.
For our part, we focus on transparency and provide updates regularly
