Subject: Re: Congratulations Andrew

Lets just call a spade a spade here:
AT&T got butthurt at the media ruin and forced the man to come down hard on
someone.
A perfect someone to restore public faith in the order of the world was
Weev.

So AT&Ts lawyers drafted some bum legal pretense under which to raid weev
looking for some related incriminating content and handed it off to the
cops. Of course they were going to find something illegal on his premises,
have you seen half the shit he writes online?

This is another instance of Corporate Policy leading to unjustified Policing
action; it is the second such occurrence in the past few months. Maybe AT&T
schooled Apple in mobile networking and in turn Apple schooled AT&T in
corporate control of public police forces.
