Actually, Palantir just suspended him. I had e-mailed him on Friday and then Palantir's head lawyer called me up and I explained that we're going to fuck them up. He nonetheless suggested a conference call for Saturday at 1 EST, which they never made, after which I sent out the file to various outlets. Of course, Palantir knew damn well what Steckman was up to and are just covering their tracks and I believe we can prove it soon. Thanks.

Steve-

Barrett Brown here. A few months ago I came out of the closet as a longtime participant in Anonymous and now handle a lot of our press and certain other matters. I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that Michael Steckman, who works for Palantir, has not been fired despited the fact that he was instrumental in the conspiracy against Glenn Greenwalds and Wikileaks that HBGary was setting up on behalf of Bank of America and its law firm. I wanted to provide you this in accordance with our policy of providing useful stories to media people that we consider to be above-par. See this link: http://www.typewith.me/DwX1PECXa3
