He regretted having recorded and posted videos in which he threatened an FBI agent who was investigating Brown, calling the videos “idiotic” and the product of a “manic state” brought on by a withdrawal from drugs used to control his heroin addiction. He admitted that he “stupidly” tried to hide laptop computers from FBI agents when they arrived at his mother’s home with a search warrant. He said he had crossed the line from journalist to collaborator when he contacted security firm, Strategic Forecasting (Stratfor) with an offer to redact sensitive material from a major 2011 hack, diverting attention from hacker Jeremy Hammond. “I have never denied I was involved with Anonymous,” Brown said. “But that means different things at different times.”
Was he really put in prison for reporting on gov and corporations? He publicly threatened an FBI agent. Then he lied to FBI agents. IMO those things should be legal, but they are not. If you do that, they will put you in prison even if you have political connections and the original charge was illegal parking. They put Martha Stewart in Federal prison for whole lot less than what this guy did.
