Hi my name is Christopher Cooper. I was contacted by the FBI back in February of 2011 due to my involvement in the Wiki-leaks/Anonymous DDOS attacks against PayPal, Mastercard, Visa and Amazon. I was never told that I was being charged nor arrested but I agreed to hand over one computer as well as another computer of mine for a HDD scan. I have yet to see my computer returned, although I did receive the other back after the HDD scan and was told to continue what I was doing so that they could return and collect more evidence on the Anonymous. I agreed to all of this and have the paperwork that I would send you if needed. As of yesterday, July 19th, 2011, I was arrested on the two counts above and processed by the FBI and then handed over to a US Marshall where I waited for my court case. I appeared in front of a judge, July 19th, 2011 and plead guilty to the charges so that a "article 20" (I believe they called it) could be put into effect so that I could have the case tried here in my home state and travel to San Jose, CA was not necessary. I also waved my right to an identity hearing so that I would not be detained that same day, which is why I am able to write you today. After talking with family and the court appointed attorney (who did nothing) I have decided to fight the case due to the lack of evidence that has been presented to me. I feel as though my efforts to stay out of trouble has now flipped on me and gotten me in more trouble that I ever wanted. I am to appear in court in San Jose, CA at 1:30PM, September 1st, 2011. I do not have the means of funds necessary to travel to San Jose, CA at this time. I am currently unemployed, but looking for a job and already on 3 years probation for the state of Alabama. (I can give more information on that as well, if needed) Please take your time in considering to represent my case.
