anakata

Actually, it's not hard to believe as Gottfrid is Anakata aka early '90s swedish scene / old school #hackse@efnet.

It is widely known that Gottfrid Svartholm (anakata) is not provided access to books as opposed to Peter Sunde.

Heck, caycep compared anakata to Al Capone, and nobody would argue that Capone's tax evasion was acceptable.

Lastly, the matter is political because anakata, and the others, allegedly released a lot of protected identities, hacked government related services as well as a bank.

Some searching shows he is supportive of #anakata, and maybe people can read up.

I can't see how you can support the claim that the length they did to arrests anakata was reasonable.

> Anakata's encrypted files (which the police did manage to decrypt) Did anyone know how they managed to decrypt those files and which kind of protection Anakata had set?

People downvoting me obviously have no idea who anakata is.

As an aside: I honestly don't think caycep's question was supportive of anakata.

You obviously have no clue who anakata is.

As far as I can tell, the investigators have very solid evidence and going to the length they did to arrests anakata seems reasonable.

More importantly, they illegally nabbed anakata from Cambodia, bundled him on a plane, and threw him in solitary for >2 months, which is torture under UN definition.

However, in conversations where the bragging has been done, other chat participants have asked something like "Anakata: Are you still in Cambodia" and tLt answers the question.

Don't forget the TPB/torrent tracker programmer anakata's warrantless international extradition followed by multi-month solitary confinment by his own government which is considered "democratic" and is part of northern Europe, nominally a bastion of human rights...

There is the west and its fall-in-line economic treadmill, or the hinterlands and their available extra-judicial means of extradition (ala Anakata) or oppression.

Anakata's encrypted files (which the police did manage to decrypt) and plenty of IRC and server logs among other things.

Sweden sends aid to Cambodia every year, they did not receive any extra for arresting Anakata.
