In fact, at just 6,288 ft., it isn't even the tallest in the eastern U.S. (Mount Mitchell in North Carolina beats it by several hundred feet). But the weather here is some of the worst in the world.

Not only against the hackers from China (until the FBI itself got cold feet and told him to stop), but also against the government bureaucracy that wronged him. Carpenter sued for wrongful termination. In response, the nuclear lab spent untold amounts of taxpayer money (that's right: his money, my money, and your money) on a legal strategy that appeared to be designed to run up Carpenter's bills long enough to force him to drop the case. They made him fly back from his new home in Washington...
