SDNY Cited Wikileaks on Hammond & LulzSec and the Stratfor Hack Years Before Schulte Trial

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
Books - Guardian - NY Mag - Brutal Kangaroo

LITERARY SDNY, July 18 –  As always at the SDNY, there was another case. Convicted defendants usually just disappeared until their sentence, and then for (much) longer, like Ross Ulbricht of Silk Road. Would that be the way of Josh Schulte?

  Even as Kurt Wheelock the week after Schulte's conviction started covering the trial of one of R.Kelly's associates, accused of calling in a gun threat to shut down the press screening of Surviving R.Kelly, he continued working through the docket entries of Federal cases involving Wikileaks. 

   In the SDNY in 2011, LulzSec's Hector Xavier Monsegur faced 259 to 317 months - but Preet Bharara suggested time served, for cooperation.

  The targets and results were listed: Ryan Ackroyd a/k/a Kayla (30 months in UK), Jake Davis a/k/a Topiary (24 months in UK), Jeremy Hammond a/k/a Anarchaos, 120 months, and others.  

   Together, according to the complaint, they target the goverments of Tunisia (now going back to a one-man state), Zimbabwe and Yemen (owned by Saudi Arabia). These days Kurt emailed questions on each of these each work day to the UN, which never answered.  

    In DOJ's press release they said Hammond as AntiSec stole information from Stratfor and "publicly disclosed some of the confidential information they had stolen."

  They said LulzSec conducted denial of service attacks against Visa, Mastercard and PayPal as retaliation for the refusal of these companies to process donations to Wikileaks. Refused at whose suggestion or demand? 

   So if the only way with the Fed was to cooperate, to whom would they be making offers? To be continued.

 This might be a new project, a follow-up to Brutal Kangaroo.
