Many aspects of this story sound too good (too narratively neat, that is) to be true.
Is there any evidence that this is anything other than a big hoax orchestrated by Anonymous for publicity and/or lulz? Any third-party confirmation that any part of this story is true, or are we just basing everything off what Anonymous has told us?
I mean, any evidence that this unnamed guy was ever kidnapped, that he was ever released, or that Anonymous ever actually had any information about Los Zetas in the first place? Just wondering, not accusing anyone of lying, just not entirely confident that "Anonymous" is a trustworthy source.

The hostage returned with a message claiming that the kidnappers said any exposure of information resulting in the outing of a gangster would result in the demise of Anonymous 10-fold. I.e. why would Anonymous tell themselves to shut up in such a convoluted way?

- ChuckMcM 15y agoOne of the weird things I thought about was what if the Arizona Police department that got screwed by Anons decides to release information they know about Zetas as if they were members of Anonymous? I'm sure that at least a few law enforcement officers may have felt less safe once their information was released, why wouldn't they return the favor? Anyway, I agree that the story reads more like fiction than fact, I suppose only time will tell.
