Geohot and Sony have had their time in the limelight. Surely when the PSN went down, you had to expect people to point the finger Geohot, assuming he had something to do with this. Well in midst of all this drama, the famed hacker has denied being involved in any of this.

He did not make challenge lobbies. He made the jailbreak which allowed people to load and edit patches etc. in order to host challenge lobbies.
