I don't think it's good practice to do this kind of thing (telling readers to look in edit notes, etc.), even if it is to avoid filters.

Further, I don't think it is neccesary to introduce him in this way. The primary purpose of the ''wiki''<nowiki/>'s article on BWE is to talk about the problems associated with the software he makes, and not the other crimes he has comitted. Pretty much every other place on the internet that talks about this will have that info, so it's not like there's a desperate need to repeat it. Those crimes are still relevant to the wiki, because they relate directly to how he constructed his software and used it as spyware.

This is why I reworded it to "The owner of the company has previously been criminally convicted of offenses involving malicious hacking and exploitation of sensitive user data." within the privacy section of the consumer protection overview. We're not here to do a complete biography on the people involved: our scope is limited.
