Hilarie: do you think you are suffering from paranoia?
me: why's that?
Hilarie: posting things on facebook that its not safe to use facebook to message you
me: they caught one of my friends that way
Hilarie: being friends with john penley
me: you know how many of the people I work with have been arrested, right?
Hilarie: who is they
me: they is interpol, FBI, Scotland Yard
Hilarie: no i dont
me: did you not hear the recording?
Hilarie: nope
me: okay
me: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/video/2012/feb/03/anonymous-hack-phone-call-fbi-scotland-yard-video
me: my lawyer also had his stuff monitored, just verified that last week
me: I'm not sure you've followed this very closely, but every media outlet in the world thinks I'm going to be arrested
Hilarie: youve been saying that for a while
me: no, the outlets have been saying that for a while
me: they don't have a case yet
me: look, go read what's going on
Hilarie: okay link me to something
me: I did
me: listen to the FBI Scotland Yard tape
Hilarie: yeah so the FBI and Scotland Yard are talking about international cybercrime
me: Ryan Cleary, mentioned there, is someone I worked with
me: they're talking about my friends they already arrested

Hilarie: if you are worried, then why are you typing incriminating statements about yourself?
me: these things are widely known
Hilarie: i still dont think its the best strategy if you are actually worried about a case
me: trust me, I know the situation pretty well. If you're worried that I'm paranoid or crazy because I think that my Facebook shit might be monitored, go read a bit
Hilarie: but a good strategy if you are trying to self promote
me: I'm trying to convince you I'm not just making this up
me: listen to the recording
me: nothing I've said to you isn't already known. my association with those people and my involvement in certain things is entirely on the record. but I don't have to actually commit a crime to be monitored.
