He was their Captain Hook. That was before. Fox News reports the shadowy hack deity is not only confirmed to be unemployed 28-year-old New Yorker Hector Xavier Monsegur, but that Sabu has been "collaborating with the government for months," leading to a string of arrests around the world today. It's unclear how many will be dragged down with Sabu's nine months of federal collaborating, but it's safe to assume whatever vestiges of LulzSec remained are toast—we'll know for sure when all of the indictments are unsealed. [...]

I've talked to Sabu multiple times, and on each occasion he's seemed more and more distant, to the point where it was hard to get in touch with him at all. Now, says the FBI, it's because he was busy ratting out his cadre.

So what is the Org's take? Righteous takedown of criminal group? Edgy protesters getting smacked, which they knew was a possibility? Freedom fighters, um, fighting for freedom and free stuff? What's the temperature on LulzSec?

No honor among thieves is about right. However, I love these groups and support freeing up all information, everywhere. It's always a bummer when the lights turn on and off.

Well that is how binary works.

Some information is valuable for its accuracy and its rarity.

Other information is valuable for its network.

The real Sabu is dissapoint!
the news that this moron was using his namesake comes as a bad surprise for the Homicidal, Genocidal, Suicidal, Death-Defying Maniac

So he was arrested in Dublin then? That's lame, he should have been apprehended in Birr.

Well Trinity college is in Dublin where he is supposedly doing medicinal chemistry so I suppose thats why he was arrested in Dublin.

He has been let go after some questioning, but a file will likely be going to the director of public prosecutions fairly soon I imagine.

No doubt he will be lucky if he only gets 4 or 5 yrs in jail in America could be 10 or 15 years, what a waste of talent he was obviously extremely bright student.

That would be bad. We need to make an example out of these guys and give them 20+ years in the clink. That'll do wonders to sober up the online criminals.
