- Chat with Andrew Stein
- December 12, 2010
- Barrett Brown: NEW ENGINE
- Barrett Brown: also, what do you make of this?
- Barrett Brown: http://hacker.us/
- [Trimmed]
- Andrew: I dont know what to tell you about this site
- Andrew: what are you asking me specifically?
- Barrett Brown: about the guy
- Andrew: I dont understand the prose
- Barrett Brown: Gregg Housh
- Barrett Brown: I'm just trying to figure out what they're saying he did
- Barrett Brown: there are those chat logs
- Barrett Brown: but not sure what to take from them
- Andrew: oh
- Barrett Brown: they're claiming he helped CoS in exchange for deal, but I don't know if that's true
- Andrew: it looks more like they're claiming he turned in CoS for a deal with the fbi
- Barrett Brown: turned in Church of Scientology?
- Andrew: where do you see a reference to the chruch of scientology?
- Andrew: looks like this is about warez server maintainers
- Barrett Brown: yeah, those are where the chat logs come from, I just don't understand what the chat logs mean in the context of the CoS prosecuting him
- Barrett Brown: anyway, he's become the go-to guy for media that want info on Anonymous
- Barrett Brown: as he was one of the five people who put out the Chanology video
- Barrett Brown: and who are now active in Wikileaks defense
- Barrett Brown: and we're going to do a book together next year
- Barrett Brown: and he's provided some of his assets to Project PM
- Barrett Brown: and now hangs out in our IRC
- Barrett Brown: so, as you can imagine, I need to know these things
- Barrett Brown: but maybe this isn't a very good site from which to get answers
- Andrew: ok, this doesnt seem to have anything to do with scientology, just that he had an a priori conviction for warez
- Barrett Brown: okay
- Barrett Brown: that makes more sense, I was confused
- Barrett Brown: by the title, "Church of scientology loves Housh"
- Andrew: right
- Barrett Brown: apparently it's just an inflammatory joke
- Andrew: he apparently turned in some other warez kids when he got busted
- Barrett Brown: okay, I have no problem with that
- Barrett Brown: he didn't turn in anyone on the CoS thing
- Barrett Brown: lol warez
- Andrew: lol, indeed
- Barrett Brown: shit's getting cyberpunk
- Barrett Brown: up in this piece
