I don't know, I don't think anyone should be praising this kid.
He fraudulently bid on land that was legally for sale. Now, I'm not getting into the whole debate about saving public land or whatever, but what this kid did is fraud, plain and simple.
He should be punished to the full extent of the law and no one should be crying about it.
He broke the law and should be punished for doing so. Just because he may have been 'acting for the public good" does not mean that he should be hailed as a hero or whatever.
Send the guy to jail for his actions and put the land up for re-bid. Stupid shit like this is just going to make it harder for legitimate bidders to participate in auctions like this.
