He gave out a lot of information. If I was in this scene, I would certainly say: too much information. WAY too much information. The researcher now knows a forum which contains up-to-date exploits of this scene, transactions of this scene. That is a boatload of knowledge, especially if one finds currently unknown exploits in there, or starts tracking the money by the transactions made on this forum. Furthermore, the botmaster gave out a lot of information about his illegal activities, so he pretty surely was very, very confident (I'd go as far as calling this overconfident) about his security. Sorry, but coming from this, this guy does not look like a real serious botmaster to me. I mean, if you make lots of money with bots, why whould you give out information about your exploits and your trades, making it easy for the government and security firms to stop you? That's just dumb.
