Is that a crime? It occurs to me the HBGary or Stratfor might not have minded the opportunity, even if it was only a tip to them of what was to come. It also demonstrates some sort of good faith.
From the IRC logs “Earlier it occurred to me that it might be a good idea to tell Stratfor that you guys will consider making any reasonable redactions to emails that might endanger, say, activists living under dictatorships with whom they might have spoken […] If they fail to cooperate, it will be on them if any claims are made about this yield endangering anyone,” -BB
- tptacek 12y agoAccording to Kim Zetter's reporting, Brown's communications with Stratfor had the overt effect of concealing Jeremy Hammond's involvement, so much so that he was charged with obstructing the investigation, not simply for being a spokesperson. His assistance was allegedly material, not moral.
