They're literally doing nothing. Judges just say that bullshit to make people scared. If he had said to say a journal at the NYT however that could be a different story.

Auernheimer was a member of the hacker group known as "Goatse Security" that exposed a flaw in AT&T security in June 2010, which allowed the e-mail addresses of iPad users to be revealed.[39] The flaw was part of a publicly-accessible URL, which allowed the group to collect the e-mails without having to break into AT&T's system.[40] Contrary to what it first claimed,[41] the group revealed the security flaw to Gawker Media before AT&T had been notified,[40] and also exposed the data of 114,000 iPad users, including those of celebrities, the government and the military. The group's actions rekindled public debate on the disclosure of security flaws.[42] Auernheimer maintains that Goatse Security used common industry standard practices and has said that "we tried to be the good guys".[5][42] Jennifer Granick of the Electronic Frontier Foundation has also defended the methods used by Goatse Security.[42]

lol i see what ur saying but i think that is a different situation

I don't know. a facial reading of my activity would have lead me to believe that I was unlikely to get indicted. It still would seem absurd today.

In contrast, I could see a US Attorney wanting to push for a 18 U.S.C. § 1512 (c) (2) charge against the bait sub poster/mod if they could get a statement they could spin to a jury on the record. Prosecutors and judges love to sling out paper and punishments anytime something they don't expect gets on the docket. They'd have to prove intent, so it would be very useful for the 1 or 2 people at risk to not be around to be interviewed, and surely to shut the frick up and not give statements if the feds do show up.

:marseyshrug: idk. Computer hacking/probing is not a constitutionally protected right, we don't have a bill in the constitution to address the legality of it. But free speech is. If I as a private individual am arrested and put on trial for satire, which is also legal, that marks a decline of our entire nation.

Furthermore, I was not aware in the slightest, and I am still not aware, that I was breaking a law. No one has pointed out a law that applies in any way. So not only would my first amendment rights be violated, I would have no idea that the law existed in the first place.

18 U.S.C. § 1503 defines "obstruction of justice" as an act that "corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice."

There is no law that addresses what happened without EXTREME twisting of legal terms. There is no legal precedent for prosecuting this sort of behavior. The prank did not involve threats of violence, nor did I say I would bribe anyone. In fact, this has happened before, in the Johnny Depp case, and nothing happened.

Also, I have offended a county court who will likely tell their sheriff's department to look into it and will probably give up as soon as they realize that the poster admitted it was a prank. MAYBE they would involve the FBI, but cmon, is the FBI really going to investigate an event this small?

Why not just put some stuff in storage and take a trip to Ecuador, get away from the cold, learn some Spanish? I'll throw in a benji's worth of crypto towards your hostel. Maybe you can crowdfund a cheap vacation off of this and get down south for a while until things blow over. Not being found for a few months is a huge deal -- people get other cases, and other instructions from their bosses. Shit can blow over.

Let me tell you -- bail conditions for lolcrimes are a lot worse than fricking latinx hookers in the sun. Weekly piss tests, no unmonitored internet access, internet only for work, work has to be preapproved by the feds

They'd have to show you intended to influence the outcome of the trial. If you've had no contact with anyone involved with the trial, then it would be pretty hard to prove. Nothing will probably happen. But if any authorities were to question you the best thing to do would to not answer any questions without consulting an attorney.

Early that day I did see a post asking how to contact the jury. THAT would clearly be illegal. Not sure if the mods removed it or who posted it though.

I think the best part about this is it gave that bastard one last sliver of hope that they might actually nullify. So for that this belongs to you :marseykingcrown:

The key issue here in that statute is whether there was any bona fide attempt (since it clearly did not actually affect the outcome) at influencing the verdict by the posters themselves. Speculative reporting and parody about a pending trial verdict is obviously allowable under a first amendment defense (happens all the time after all), and the subreddit/posters never directly contacted or reached out to the jurors or parties.

The fact that knowledge of the subreddit only made it into the Court as a result of the navel gazers of Reddit spreading it by their own volition, rather than a direct attempt by the posters and sub mods, shows either

  • it was purely intended as public parody of the case, or

  • they were omniscient and could predict that other strangers would forward their obscure posts on a newly created subreddit directly to the Court, on no other substance than believing shit on the internet whole-cloth.

Of those two, which is more likely?

yeah, I explained this in my longread post:

https://rdrama.net/post/116859/guide-to-surviving-the-feds-from

they're going to need to generate a record of a claim by one of the posters that it was a bona fide attempt to influence or disrupt the court proceedings. Which is why if I were one of those posters I would immediately take steps to ensure I am difficult to find and thus hard to interview

exposed the data of [..] the government and the military

"believe that I was unlikely to get indicted"

one does not do that to the global hegemon. it has been known for ages that even if technically/legally allowed, people still get got by "spirit of the law". innocent people end up in guantanamo, there's no logic, just politics
