[00:00:00] Walter O'Brien Busted by NSA and Interpol at Age 13

As a child, Walter O'Brien worked on his family's dairy farm in Ireland, but never quite fit in. Suspecting that he might be autistic, O'Brien was asked to take an intelligence test at the age of nine. With an IQ of 197, he officially became the fifth smartest person in the world. Four short years later, O'Brien hacked into NASA to steal shuttle blueprints and was quickly apprehended by the NSA and Interpol. The government recognized O'Brien's unique aptitude and hired him to bolster cybersecurity. This pivotal moment ushered forth the creation of Scorpion Computer Services, a company that now employs 3,000 problem-solving geniuses and nets more than $1 billion in revenue. With such an impressive talent pool and case load, we have to ask: How on Earth does one manage that many geniuses at once? The answer is brilliant.
