I read this article earlier. I don't understand the following line from the chatlog:
> Topiary: better not hit me on April fool's day
is this a joke that has gone over my head, or are the logs indeed from March?
Edit: looks like I'm a fool, the logs are indeed from March and are unrelated to this incident. I thought the article was using them as proof of this incident being part of "duping" the police, but it's actually being used to show Topiary from England != Lulzsec topiary. My mistake. Will leave comment in case anyone else makes the same mistake.
- wccrawford 15y agoYeah, it was all a little unclear. I'm still not sure whether LS's Topiary stole the name from a troll, or a troll started using Topiary's name. Not that it matters... In the end, it looks like the real Topiary is in a different country altogether from where the arrest was made. Absolutely hilarious. How long before the police discover their mistake, I wonder?
- gjm11 15y agoNot quite so hilarious for the person who (if this story is right) has been arrested for things he didn't do.
- wnight 15y agoBetter he learn what the system is like while young. With media attention on his arrest he's likely to be unmolested. There's no alternative where he was safe, just ones where the risk wasn't realized. Now he'll know what many complacent people never realize - how fragile his life is and how easily 'evidence' against him is created as necessary.
