If this is real, this is an incredible target to choose. I mean, you might not make it trial if they catch you, if you know what I mean. Makes me wonder what level of affiliation or perceived safety would make anyone this confident.

I don't think the federal reserve has that many deep dark secrets. The main risk is going to be stuff like knowing that a bank is in trouble before it's public knowledge.

  The Fed runs several payment systems so in theory all the transfers sent through there could be a part of this leak.

      If previous releases are anything to go by, it’ll be a bunch of backups and databases from enterprise HR and IT software that was running on poorly secured Windows servers, though I don’t know how it adds up to 33TB. Probably undeduplicated backup images or something. The dump from their Boeing hack was excruciatingly boring.

  I suspect the purpose of announcing it is so that it enters the news cycle before a Presidential debate. The payload itself may never materialize. Trust in the Federal Reserve, and ignorance of its function, can be a strong partisan issue without waiting for a payload.

No government was behind Reddit's meme trading, for instance. Not saying you're wrong. Just that spontaneous bursts of organisation aren't per se evidence of outside influence.

  I feel like you missed what Anonymous is supposed to actually be. Anyone and everyone can be a part of Anonymous; queue V for Vendetta.
