My bad. Didn't read the article. After reading "disgusting spectacle", "the outcome predetermined" and "well-rehearsed scripts" i automatically assumed that Sabu was convicted and received some tremendous jail time. Darn my laziness.
Hammond is so well spoken in this. "Most importantly, the government hopes these arrests will have disrupted Anonymous and deterred others from engaging in politically-motivated hacking. But Anonymous is a decentralized, leaderless movement, and reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated. CEOs and cops are still getting dox’d, websites are still being defaced, and stolen databases are still being plastered all over the internet." I am thankful for the email leaks and so much more that he has done. His outrageous sentence proves how much of a failure our legal system is.
