Dutch cops say they told him to stop and delete the material, but he allegedly refused, saying he would only do so if he "received something in return."

Assuming the cops aren't making this up, the arrest actually seems pretty reasonable.

from article: "Dutch police have arrested a man for "computer hacking""

yeah, pretty reasonable...

anything they do to him, they should do 10x to themselves

Laws generally say that state secrets are illegal to possess unless authorized regardless how you got them. You should notify and delete them if you get them by mistake

So him not deleting them when asked was a bold move.
