Declan, you are still tarring me with messages addressed to me and cc'ed to cpunks. So I state: I want no direct e-mail to me about cybercriminals convicted or likely to be that. Anybody does that after I ask them not to I will consider working with the authorities, wittingly or unwittingly. Let me say that again, any reporter, priest, doctor, lawyer, or any other likely undercover agent which meets with me, sends me e-mail, telephones me, or faxes me without making that simultaneously public I will interpret as an attempt to entrap either for professional reasons or to help the authorities or both. Declan, I say to you, that means you. I think you are being used as a lure just as much as Jim Bell, CJ and a several more. Your journalistic conceit appears to be blinding you to the threat you pose. Recall our talk about this in Seattle when you warned me that our conversations could be someday revealed in court, and that you considered your telling me that as fair warning to be careful what I told you. This is not to single you out, I told the 60 Minutes reporters and other journalists what I'm saying to you here. None of you fuckers are free of being forced to tell what you have been told in confidence, and no fair warning relieves you of the obligation to tell those who confided in you just what you are telling others to save your own ass. All the privileged receivers of confidential information got to get used to going public before they are forced to testify in secret. That is happening now and will happen more as the homeland war heats up and nuts and tits get squeezed. Where am I going with this? I believe Jim Bell and CJ were shopped to the feds, and others are probably being shopped right now, whether on purpose or by inadvertency. I don't know who all is involved with this shit but it is damn well is going to come out. Best to just not pretend anymore that these privileged parties can or will keep information confidential. That means nobody.
