However, his continuing inability to master the violin drew him into a darker and darker self-destructive spiral, eventually destroying both his career and his marriage. To feed his growing drug habit, he turned to computer espionage. Some blame him for recent attacks against the Apple computer company; experts cite Brosky’s own struggle with his bent iPhone 6+ as a possible motive.", |
