Thanks, I appreciate it. If you give this to anyone else, could you just
give me a heads up. That will give me an idea that I should move as quickly
as possible. My preference is to spend a little more time and talk to the
lawyers about this whole thing.

thanks, barrett. that's all a big help.
Can you tell me whether you've talked to other reporters about this. I
have
to run out to an interview and I'm just trying to figure out if I have a
little time to talk Stanley or Heidi.
Again, much appreciated.
Cheers,

Michael-
Good to meet you. Here's the info I have. Let me know if I forgot
anything.
"Heidi Boghosian" <director@nlg.org>, (NAtional Lawyers Guild director
with
whom I'm working to choose lawyers)
Stanley Cohen stanleycohen@earthlink.net - guy who guys on Fox and
defends
Hamas, lol
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/jan/27/anonymous-internet
-
my op-ed from other day, with links to info on OpTunisia, etc.
As I mentioned, there are three people I'm assisting in this.
"Trivette" is a channel operator of anonops.ru, where a large faction of
the
Anonymous movement does its work. He's a California male whose documents
you
have (partially, it seems). Here is the entirety of what I have; if other
info is needed from him, let me know and I'll get it ASAP. The relevant
grand jury starts on Feb 10.

Attachment to federal grand jury subpoena:
http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/1708/subz.jpg
"Owen" controls the anonops.ru server. He was raided by the FBI but has
not
received any subpoena. He doesn't seem interested in any legal advice
until
such point as he is required to get off his ass by the Feds.
"Rabbit"/"No" is a 19-year-old Nevada female. Her family home was raided
and
she was questioned at that point. She actually called right after I got
off
with you and told me the following:
Equipment seized:
two broken laptops
two jump drives
father's laptop
mac book
samsung phone
iphone
router
The search warrant was shown to her only after she had requested to see
it
several times and was questioned about MasterCard etc (it's looking like
the
MIAA thing may just be peripheral or even unrelated, as I'm just now able
to
determine). It's headlined United States District Court of Nevada.
According
to one section, it was supposed to be carried out by Feb 9 - one day
before
the California grand jury goes down. She'll be able to scan it and get it
to
you or whoever ends up assisting by Thursday but it's in reference to her
having allegedly accessed a secure computer to obtain information, 18
U.S.
c
1030a2c.

Hey, Barrett.
I'm working on a story about the DoJ's efforts to prosecute
individuals
associated with Anonymous and the DDoS attacks against PayPal and
others.
The NYT mentioned that you're helping to organize legal assistance for
some of those arrested and released recently. Do you have a couple of
minutes to talk. I'm interested in your sense of what DoJ's strategy
is
here. Is this about making some examples from a few people associated
with
Anonymous. Are they trying to go after leaders in the hopes of
beheading
the
group (which seems unlikely, give the nature).
And I'm also just interested in what exactly people are being charged
with. From a legal perspective, this is a tricky move on their part.
Cheers,
