    Phenomenally influential person and too little too late IMO.

    Also, I think all people prosecuted under these charges should be exonerated.

    Alan Turing and John von Neumann are the foundation of the modern computer science. Just imagine what the world would look like if he had more years to contribute to the fields of Mathematics and computer science...
