It's worth noting that the character arrested has a history that makes 
the charges against him fairly credible.

His prior includes embezzlement, share fraud, and passing himself off as 
an uber-hacker using some other fake-hacker's invented stories (that 
last bit can be seen at Attrition.org - 
http://attrition.org/errata/charlatan/kimble/

I find it sad that frankly, Anon has decided to turn into a cause 
celebre someone whose history should make him a target. "This guy's a 
file share king, he's on our side!" is mindless; he's a cynical 
exploiter who has peeled dollars off file sharers by pretending to be on 
their side.
