This is the evidence (attachments) needed to convict HBGary federal, it's parent company HBGary, Aaron Barr, and Greg Hoglund, at least as far as their activities relate to my person.
With the exception of Dan's article above, I have barely been able to get any press attention to my side of this story. The press wants to paint these criminals as victims for the most part.
By this time the FBI has probably figured out that these guys are idiots. This may NOT, however, have resulted in the withdrawl of warrant for my arrest (which I have not strolled into the FBI to ask...).
Considering indefinite detention without evidence of a crime went into effect today in the US, I would prefer not to spend the rest of my life awaiting a trial that will never come for things I did not do.
There is also the possibility that the injuring parties have sent paid killers after me, as they may view this as a more cost effective solution than even an out of court settlement. Given their ties to the FBI and CIA this is not an unreasonable or paranoid suspicion.
The ACLU, EFF, and Cyberlaw Foundation have all refused me legal counsel... I find this strange since it would appear this case falls under their mission statements.
Strangely, I have not gotten a response from them either.
To sum, I am still hiding as a fugitive. I have been moving approximately weekly since this started, when I was contacted by Aaron Barr on Feb. 5th. I have been unable to acquire the most basic legal counsel to even clear myself with the FBI.
If you ever gave a rat's ass about me, the time to help is now.
I admit that this is a mass mail, and a desperate attempt to insure that even if I disappear, the reason and evidence for my disappearance does not.

Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake: One of her characters asks, "As a species we're doomed by hope, then?" By hope? Well, yes. Hope drives us to invent new fixes for old messes, which in turn create ever more dangerous messes. Hope elects the politician with the biggest empty promise; and as any stockbroker or lottery seller knows, most of us will take a slim hope over prudent and predictable frugality. Hope, like greed, fuels the engine of capitalism.
