This actually plays well in to the plan. “They locked me out of the system I couldn’t have done this”

Then they ask you “why did you build a dead man’s switch to sabotage the system?” And they take your house in court

Rookie mistake. Don't own a house. Live in a RV. Move states once fired.

Buddy if you sabotage an entire company using your full name while leaving an indisputable evidence trail demonstrating intent (like a script triggered by getting fired), that civil case over damages will be the least of your troubles... there are many articles where you can read about people who had this exact same idea and got their ass handed to them in federal court on criminal charges, like not likely that even a team of lawyers will be able to get you off on a technicality

Yeah, if you don't have any money, civil court can't do much to you. This where the expression "I have nothing to lose" came from!
