Not to worry
This guy had his computer hacked and has been set up as the fall guy.
Luckily the authorities will only sentence him to a maximum of 50 years imprisonment (it is after all the USA) and he will probably win his appeal in 20 years when they discover witheld evidence, he will only be 67 so he can continue with his life.

Attacking the bogeyman of the left is not worth going to jail for.
> Kochs .... bankrolling Wisconsin's Republican governor Scott Walker and his crackdown on public employees' unions.
Good. Apparently the people of Wisconsin agreed, as he won the recall election etc.
Kochs are also for "fracking" and other Bad Things when I interprete hysterical outer-left data dumps correctly.
Could I care less?
I could, but I care little enough.

Re: Spanners Re: They make prisons...
"No. They make buyable politicians to change the rules of society at the behest of the rich who can't live within the laws of society." Oh puh-lease! If that bilge were true then there never would have been a Dummicrat POTUS and definitely not The Great Non-White Hope Obambi. How many rich kids are committing computer crime? Was Sabu the secret offspring of Donald Trump? Aaron Swarz may have come from a relatively privileged background but his parents weren't captains of industry. The truth is the majority of computer crimes are committed by two types of criminal - career ones that are simply branching out, and skiddies like the Anons. And the skiddies seem to largely fall into the badly-raised, broken-home category such as Jake Davis (AKA Topiary) or Bradley Manning and Julian Assange. Oh, sorry, did that little insight into the realities of the matter offend your delicate sensibilities?

After I read this story, I began to think: I'd bet this guy thought he was trying to be independent and bring down the man. Yet, he downloaded a program and ran it per instructions from 'Anonymous'. How much non-conformity is that really?
I'm sure he wishes they had just tricked him and stole his login and passwords with a trojan instead of playing follow the leader because 7 proxies won't keep his anus from getting LOIC'd now.
Packeting websites is gonna change people's policies about as much as changing your Facebook profile pic in support of the movement du jour.

Who are the evil ones?
So the Koch brothers are successful businessmen. This makes them the targets of Marxists who influence the weakminded to hate the successful. Free markets will reward some by the following simple statement. "The way to make money and get what you want, is to help others get what they want." Therefore, the Kochs helped many others get to what they want.
Tyranny is a form of extortion and rewards the evil, who harm the population while saying they are helping. These weakminded haters then believe that harming others is not evil,but good. Thus, the "anonymous" attacks on the worthy. It is like some kind of religious war to some of these people encouraged to be destructive.
The real villains are these Marxists, not the businessmen
