"They went back there, looked at all the computers, asked me to come in and tell them what all the computers were for specifically so they knew how to dismantle the network I had been running"

Sherman Austin was asked to assist dismantle a network he had actually been running. He was asked to go back to the place where the computer systems lay and explain what each computer system was used for. This was so the people taking apart the network would understand how to do it properly. It is most likely that Austin had established the network himself and was the only one who understood how it was configured. By having him explain what each computer system was used for, the people taking apart the network would be able to do it correctly and not cause any damage. Austin's knowledge and know-how was important in this process.
