So they have a public representative living in the US and are associated with Harvard University. I don‘t think there‘s much shadowy cybercrime to investigate there. How do you feel about Wikileaks and the prosecution of Julian Assange?

Having a "Harvard affiliation" doesn't legitimize illegal activities. Leaking private messages, passwords, and so on from social networks is an unacceptable breach of privacy. Exposing people's private donations is also unacceptable. This is a group looking to create a chilling effect on others' speech, particularly moderates and conservatives, through illegal cyber crimes. I am not sure how you can possibly see that as anything other than "shadowy cyberycrime" given their identities are anonymous and they're committing cyber crimes.

  I don't think any of this is a crime?

  As far as I can tell from wikipedia they are not anonymous (at least the leader) and not working in the shadows (bc they are working together with serious public organizations).
