Case thrown out due to it hogging storage space

[Rob Williams]

Alright, I'm not sure how reliable this story is, but if true, it's jaw-dropping.

"The federal government has more than 400,000 pages of evidence against fugitive Miami doctor Armando Angulo, taking up some two terabytes of digital space. On the surface, it sounds like a pretty solid case. But at the urging of prosecutors, charges were dropped against the doctor because the evidence is simply taking up too much space on government servers."

/me looks around at the 20TB of storage in his room. Gloats at being better-off than the government.
