He claims he was scared that the site was a phishing
scam. Breaking in is not a means of making that determination. What, if you cannot break in the site is legit,
or is it legit if you CAN break in.

He lied to the police about what he was doing. That is evidence of a guilty mind. As I recall, that's called "mens rea". If he thought he himself was guilty, why shouldn't a judge?
