Cody Rutledge Wilson (born January 31, 1988) is an American crypto-anarchist and law student.[1] He is best known as the founder and director of Defense Distributed, a non-profit organization that develops and publishes open source gun designs, so-called "Wiki Weapons," suitable for 3D printing.[2][3] Wilson has been named one of the 15 most dangerous people in the world by Wired magazine.[4] Cody is also a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon Arkansas Zeta.
University Studies
Wilson is a second year law student at The University of Texas School of Law in Austin, Texas.[4][5]
Director of Defense Distributed
Defense Distributed was founded in 2012.[6] Wilson is to date the only spokesperson on behalf of the organization, of which he describes himself as a "co-founder" and "director."[7][8]
Legal Troubles
Learning of Defense Distributed's plans, manufacturer Stratasys, Inc threatened legal action and demanded the return of the 3D printer it had leased to Wilson.[7] On September 26, 2012, before the printer was assembled for use, Wilson received an email from Stratasys claiming that he was using the printer "for illegal purposes".[7] Stratasys immediately cancelled its lease with Wilson and sent a team to confiscate the printer the next day.[7][9] Wilson was subsequently questioned by the ATF.[7]
