Truly, Mr. Gofman became famous several years ago not entirely due to his musical achievements. He was the first who was prosecuted as a hacker in Russia. In his second year at the conservatory, being the best Yuri Bashmet's learner, he hacked through the Internet into a certain Russian bank and transferred a huge sum to a credit card in his spare time. The machination would have been unnoticed, but hacker's accomplices used this card for shopping.
As a result bank security service tracked out scammers and Ilya Gofman has been behind bars for a year waiting for the proceeding, and for an obvious reason he couldn't practice his skills as a viola-player. Almost all famous musicians and teachers of the conservatory interceded for him. And finally, the court exculpated Gofman having obliged him to pay out a "borrowed" sum from the bank.
A year after release a young hacker-musician became a laureate of Bashmet's competition and now became a winner of the respected international competition.
