Here's a dark tale of a contract worker who tried to force his employer to remain dependent on him by using a 'logic bomb.'

A contract programmer has pled guilty to a federal crime, and faces up to 10 years in jail and up to a $250,000 fine. He had planted a"logic bomb" in a system that caused glitches in the system he built for his client every few years — forcing his employer to be dependent on him to fix each new problem. His logic bomb was apparently discovered when the program glitched while he was on vacation, and he was forced to give employees the password so they could fix it.
