**"To Hell and Back" - my talk @ekoparty 2022 - with English subtitles!** In 2014, Alberto Daniel Hill, a cybersecurity expert, discovered a security vulnerability on a medical provider's website. While reporting on the issue, he became the first person imprisoned in Uruguay for a computer-related crime—a crime he did not commit and that likely never even happened. Due to police misconduct and incompetence, his life was disrupted, and he is still recovering from a system where there are no guarantees of a fair trial. Plagued by injustice and anguish, Alberto's story does not have a fairy-tale ending. It serves as a lesson for Uruguay and the world to implement fair processes for prosecuting cybercrimes. Alberto's case will stand as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by a judicial system that has not kept pace with 21st-century technology. Alberto Daniel Hill has four years of experience in the field of cryptocurrencies, three years of experience working with blockchain technology, and has been involved as a team member of an ICO launched in 2017. He later participated as an advisor for two other ICOs. He is the first hacker in Uruguay to serve a prison sentence for a cybercrime. After four years of a criminal process, he was ultimately cleared of any criminal record. He wrote a book about his story called *OPERACION BITCONS: Login to HELL.* Currently, he focuses on blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies (including Bitcoin), and the FinTech sector. After leaving his full-time job as an information security professional at Uruguay’s largest company, Alberto founded Crypto Currencies Services in 2016.
