Subject: A reporter reaching out
Dear Mr. Brown: On the advice of Gregg Housh, I am reaching out to you to try and contact some of those who have been arrested in the various investigations into Anonymous and LulzSec/AntiSec, or their lawyers.
Gregg and I were talking about how the people arrested so far, many of the, anyway, don't appear to be the "hacker masterminds" the FBI is after. He told me “Most of the arrests have not been of the top people.”
“Most of them (arrested) were ops people, people who ran web sites and chat services … Anonymous used the FaceBook site to organize, so why is Mark Zuckerberg under arrest?”
“They (the FBI) have got to go to their bosses and the public and show they’re doing their job."
“They haven’t gotten anyone who will slow down what Anonymous is doing.”
These are some of the quotes he gave me on the record for the story so I am sharing them with you to give you an idea of some of the material I have already.
What's your own assessment of the FBI's campaign? Are you in touch with any of these defendants or their lawyers? Do you think they would talk to me? I will speak to people on background or even off the record if they want.
Can you help me with this? I fell awkward approaching someone who might see themselves as a competitor for assistance, but I'm not too proud to ask ;-)
Best wishes, either way
