evil, thievery or mendacity? Says who? You? From what dark region did you pull THAT "requirement" pray tell? How about screwing with the debit card accounts of people, stealing their data, hacking SONY and fucking over little kids and gamers, hacking NINTENDO, being general asswipes who are destructive little shits...?

Stop trying to move the goalposts with bullshit throw-downs like that--it doesn't work. You don't get to make the rules as to what constitutes "good" or "bad" Anonymous members. If you followed this story at all, you'd know that he WAS a member of the group, and he's already entered two guilty pleas. He'll probably be joining Sabu in the Ratfink "No Honor Amongst Thieves" Brigade. Hell, Sabu probably pointed the way so that the authorities were able to find the little jerk so quickly.

I'm sure this guy and Sabu have lists a mile long and will keep selling out their Anonymous buddies until they have purchased their freedom or at least a shortened sentence, and a slot in the Witness Protection Program. Odds are good the rest of the little shits who got bagged and are looking at ten to twenty hard will also roll over and rat out their sleazy little pals, too.

"Expect us" indeed! That knock on the door isn't the UPS guy delivering that new computer...! Lock 'em up!!!

why would he have thought it was ok to begin with? 2pooped2pop Mar 2012 #1

Bwahaha! Last line there, priceless. Thanks. freshwest Mar 2012 #73
I totally agree! SkyDaddy7 Mar 2012 #117
That does not sound like something anonymous would do. But appleannie1 Mar 2012 #5
Why? Because the hackers' credo is TRANSPARENCY. pnwmom Mar 2012 #85
Gee, I thought those Anonymous guys were regarded as heroes here... MADem Mar 2012 #2

They should be afraid. MADem Mar 2012 #78
It wasn't "them," RoccoR5955 Mar 2012 #18
And it was "one" lone wolf who fucked with little kids via the SONY hack? MADem Mar 2012 #22
keep trying... you'll be right eventually Occulus Mar 2012 #27
You're the only one here who seems to think stealing is "cool." MADem Mar 2012 #34
Let's propigate more FUD. RoccoR5955 Mar 2012 #86
What is "propigate" (do you mean propagate?) and what is FUD, pray tell. MADem Mar 2012 #106
Sorry for my spelling error, and FUD means... RoccoR5955 Mar 2012 #113
Look, we can go as far afield as you might like re: "good" hackers. MADem Mar 2012 #114

Right. That guy couldn't have been Anonymous, unless he was Fundy Anonymous. nt valerief Mar 2012 #11
Exactly! He's trying to disguise his filthy, fundy self by hiding behind good people. Judi Lynn Mar 2012 #16
No--Anonymous is NOT MORAL. They steal. They take money, they take information. MADem Mar 2012 #20
To understand Anon, you have to understand the nature of white hats, grey hats, and black hats chrisa Mar 2012 #25
but that would steal the thunder from the authoritarian absolutism Occulus Mar 2012 #26
So, the guy who takes the money from the bank and causes the bank to screw the customers is....? MADem Mar 2012 #32
Depends what they do with that information. DireStrike Mar 2012 #38
They use the information to STEAL from little customers, with the expectation that MADem Mar 2012 #50

The banks were screwing their customers long before Anonymous got involved. AdHocSolver Mar 2012 #52
Ah, the two wrongs make a right school of thought! MADem Mar 2012 #58
The corporations have been packaging and selling your private information for DECADES. AdHocSolver Mar 2012 #67
It's not misplaced, though. If a corporation sells your data, there's a paper trail. MADem Mar 2012 #70
You're wrong. They certainly are compromising it. caseymoz Mar 2012 #100

I don't use those big banks, so I don't quite take your point. MADem Mar 2012 #108
You don't use big banks, but the system around you still does. caseymoz Mar 2012 #110
The ones who haven't been involved in theft--of money or data-- are not being arrested. MADem Mar 2012 #119
Who "causes" the bank to screw the customers? caseymoz Mar 2012 #98
The person who takes the thing that does not belong to them is the "cause" of the theft. MADem Mar 2012 #121
Hence, the popular love stories of Bonnie and Clyde on Hallmark... LanternWaste Mar 2012 #120
And they are all thieves. nt MADem Mar 2012 #33
And that's bigotry. nt caseymoz Mar 2012 #101
No it isn't. It describes what they do--they take things that do not belong to them. nt MADem Mar 2012 #122

There is a clear, well-known procedure for discovering if someone is part of Anonymous... saras Mar 2012 #41
How is he acting like a right winger? FreeBC Mar 2012 #44

Once again, eveyone misses the point. FreeBC Mar 2012 #42
a security issue? OKNancy Mar 2012 #43
This information wasn't kept in a home. FreeBC Mar 2012 #47
The point of making it a "criminal justice system issue" is to disincentivize hacking. BzaDem Mar 2012 #62
FreeBC is correct. Hacking has been occurring for decades. AdHocSolver Mar 2012 #61
Burglary has been going on for Millenia. And it may very well be that the best defense against BzaDem Mar 2012 #63
You're the one missing the point--he had a personal beef against abortion. MADem Mar 2012 #53
The thing is, Anonymous isn't really a group. chrisa Mar 2012 #72
