[Criminal Number 18F]

Here's what the member of Future Jailbirds of America has on his site:

---

On March 17 2005, nine Chicago FBI agents raided and seized all electronic equipment in Jeremy Hammond's apartment. Facing intimidation from both the FBI and the Secret Service, he is being accused of hacking into right-wing website ProtestWarrior.com. While the website had not been damaged and no credit cards were billed, the FBI is threatening to charge him with unauthorized access and credit card fraud totalling to millions of dollars in damages and up to thirty years in federal prison for a crime that hasn't even happened.

Jeremy has done no damage to any system and has not charged anything to any credit card numbers. He is being targetted by law enforcement for his political activism and his involvement in running the hacking website HackThisSite.org. If the FBI indicts Jeremy, he faces federal prison and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Support is desperately needed to fight this FBI indimidation and these ridiculous charges!

His defence seems to be that he hasn't actually charged anything to the credit card numbers yet, therefore he ought to get a bye. He is likely to discover that the law doesn't work that way.

Mr. FBI agent.. Sure I robbed the bank, but I didn't spend any of the money.

What a DUmbass..

"The woman stopped me with a stun gun before I could rape and rob her, your Honor, so not only should I get to walk, but she should be sent to prison for assault."

With luck, that line of arguement *still* doesn't work.

"His defence seems to be that he hasn't actually charged anything to the credit card numbers yet, therefore he ought to get a bye. He is likely to discover that the law doesn't work that way."

Conspiracy to commit a crime is a criminal offense itself. Just having the credit card info in his possession is sufficient to get him sent to the slammer.

Sort of like robbing a bank and then having the crook claim he never even spent a dime from the heist!

Free Ron Jeremy!

"I Robbed the Bank, (*smirk*) if I return the $$$$/keys and promised "never to do it again". May I leave, 'Scott-free' w/ no record of my crime."..I did the crime, didn't pay a dime.

BUMP ...fry the B@stard

[dearolddad]

Maybe his pals over at (bowel) move on.org can bail him out

Reading between the lines on his FAQ page:

---

These charges are outrageous and reactionary because none of this has actually happened. The website has not been defaced and no credit card numbers has been billed.

---

He does seem to admit taking the credit card numbers. This is probably what's behind the hysterical demands for the FBI to return the property (which they won't do till they can analyse it). The felony attaches when you take the credit card number, you don't actually have to do anything with it. IANAL but I see at manyt felonies here, and additional counts for every additional card.

Jeremy's friends should not be making any long-range plans with him.

His supporters are apparently as stupid as he is if they believe that hacking in and stealing credit card numbers isn't a crime.

"They can kill the revolutionary but they cannot kill the revolution."

Did Germy have any pithy quotes concerning "the revolution" once "the revolutionary" had been passed among the boys in cellblock C ?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

the FBI is threatening to charge him... for a crime that hasn't even happened.

I guess attempted murder shouldn't be prosecuted with this kind of logic.

[Dr.Deth]

"They can kill the revolutionary but they cannot kill the revolution."

Works for me.

"Well sure I stole a million dollars - but it's not like I bought anything with it!"

"They can kill the revolutionary but they cannot kill the revolution."

Who said the Bolshies were dead? Criminals like this need to be stomped down hard.

[OXENinFLA]

Did he have the Card #'s in his possession?

[longtermmemmory]

This is just like the burglar who is caught on the property of anothers home with burglary tools but says I did not break in yet.

Based on the PW notice, it seems like this "hacktivist" should be plea barganing not begging for money.

I suspect there is no "threat of prosecution" there is going to be a prosecution. Federal prosecutors just love easy cases.

These weenies can cry with the best of them when cornered like the rats they are.
This totally reminds me of the man who murders his parents, then asks mercy from the court because he's an orphan.

The only reason you did not actually do all the damage described, Einstein, is because you were prevented from doing so. We all are aware of your intentions.

I would pay money to be on that jury! Bid, even.

[Cowman]

Perhaps the free Jeremy site should be hacked.

[AppyPappy]

If it did work, I could rob a bank and they couldn't arrest me until I spent the money.

[CyberAnt]

It was his "intent to defraud" - not that he actually completed the act.
