Why the Government Went After Matthew Keys
- sparkzilla 11y agoFor those wanting some more background on Keys in general I made a timeline [1] There's also a good discussion of the sentencing guidelines here [2].

- PhantomGremlin 11y agoAn average person might not know better than to talk to the FBI. But this guy considered himself to be a journalist? He should have kept quiet. Period. End of discussion. Was he utterly unaware of exactly how and why Martha Stewart went to prison? Seriously. There are Youtube videos that go over this. I can't believe this guy fell for the oldest trick in the book! I guess it's either one of 1) journalists are used to people talking to them, which makes them willing to talk to law enforcement 2) this guy thinks he's the smartest guy in the room (e.g. "this is bullshit"). I guess he never watched any episodes of Columbo? The smart person always goes to jail at the end. Just ask Martha.
