re: #282 Killgore Trout

What a mess. Every email server they even try to hack is now a contaminated crimes scene. It’s a huge headache for investigators.

Agreed. I’m not entirely sure how such law works across the pond, but any lawyer worth his salt here would argue that any evidence found as a result of this email release is “poison fruit,” found only as a result of an illegal release of private information. Anonymous just turned what might have been a boon into a bust.
