Actually, yes. I just found out that HBGary hired someone to try to
find something to "get me picked up on," infiltrate Anonymous, etc -
The Backtrace people. Their e-mails were released recently and the guy
who did it has been releasing bits of it. I learned that Backtrace was
doing this for the FBI two days ago and just learned about HBGary's
involvement ten minutes ago.

Hey dude,

Happy Monday. You feel like Skyping in at around 3:30 pm ET on Wednesday
this week? (May 2).
Let me know if that works at all.

Best,
Andrew

word. i'll touch base with our tv producers tonight and see if there is a
good day for all of that shit next week for them and work something out with
you from there.

i'm sure you have all your bases covered, but if you need an extra set of
eyes on anything with the book (or a hand with anything else for that
matter), drop me a line.

talk soon,

Any day after 30th would work. The book won't be out for a while but
there will be press copies and all that.

Yeah, man. I remember hearing about the raid at the time, but I haven't
seen
many tweets or the like from you in the weeks since. After seeing the
warrant yesterday, I realize that this thing is far from over.

Good luck on the book. Can't wait to see it. Do you have any advance
copies
for the press or can I just buy one straight up from you? So stoked.

I'll try to touch base with you on Friday. Is there any day in
particular
next week that works for you for a Skype interview?

Best,
Andrew

The raid was actually a month ago; I just gave the search warrant to
Michael Hastings to publish. Actually finishing up this book over next
five days, but there's quite a bit about this investigation,
particularly its connection to certain security contracting firms that
have been revealed as having committed wrongdoing due to our work,
that I'd be happy to talk about in a week or so.

Hey dude,

Sorry the warrant tonight. Hope you're doing well. Godspeed and all
that
shit.

Not sure what you can/can't do legally, or what you want/don't want
to
do
personally, but if you wanna speak to RT this week, either on the
air or
over the Web for an Internet piece, let me know. Not sure what your
schedule
is like (or mine, for that matter), but I'd like to touch base.
Between
your
shit, CISPA escalating under the guise of "cybersecurity" and a
handful
of
other tech stories lately, it's been a busy/good/fascinating few
days
for
that shit.

Take care,
Andrew

Hey mang,

Good question. I'm not sure. Hopefully international is taking care
of
you. I know Adriana from my office in DC was trying to get you but
we
both know you have had a not-so-amazing time this week, so no
worries.
I'll try to catch up with her tonight or in the morning. It is my
birthday so I'm going to go drink more vodka but I hope all is
well.
I'll try to drop you a line tomorrow if I am still coherent/alive
then.

Take care,
Andrew

I'm
mistaken and it's with you guys).
