LITERARY
SDNY, July 18 – As
always at the SDNY, there was another
case. Convicted defendants usually just
disappeared until their sentence, and
then for (much) longer, like Ross
Ulbricht of Silk Road. Would that be the
way of Josh Schulte?
Even as Kurt Wheelock the week after
Schulte's conviction started covering
the trial of one of R.Kelly's
associates, accused of calling in a gun
threat to shut down the press screening
of Surviving R.Kelly, he continued
working through the docket entries of
Federal cases involving Wikileaks.
In the SDNY in 2011, LulzSec's Hector
Xavier Monsegur faced 259 to 317 months
- but Preet Bharara suggested time
served, for cooperation.
The
targets and results were listed: Ryan
Ackroyd a/k/a Kayla (30 months in UK),
Jake Davis a/k/a Topiary (24 months in
UK), Jeremy Hammond a/k/a Anarchaos, 120
months, and others.
Together, according to the complaint,
they target the goverments of Tunisia
(now going back to a one-man state),
Zimbabwe and Yemen (owned by Saudi
Arabia). These days Kurt emailed
questions on each of these each work day
to the UN, which never
answered.
In DOJ's press release they said
Hammond as AntiSec stole information
from Stratfor and "publicly disclosed
some of the confidential information
they had stolen."
They said LulzSec conducted denial of
service attacks against Visa, Mastercard
and PayPal as retaliation for the
refusal of these companies to process
donations to Wikileaks. Refused at whose
suggestion or demand?
So if the only way with the Fed was to
cooperate, to whom would they be making
offers? To be continued.
This
might be a new project, a follow-up to Brutal Kangaroo.
