Would I turn him in? Well, put it this way: I would not harbor him but neither would I work very hard to figure out where he is or whether a particular "nobody" on this list be him.
Somehow, I get the idea that the "nobody" you're referring to is yours truly. Well, I'm not him, but your suspicion does bring up a valuable point, though: if you're suspicious that a certain "chained remailer user" is the infamous Mr. Mitnik, then certain TLAs might also share that suspicion. Therefore, anyone using such "underground" services as anonymous remailers should use exceeding care. If they start to use traffic analysis, or any of the other "sigint" techniques discussed here, even though you aren't Mr. Mitnik, you may well get "caught" in their "dragnet".
