That Tien Truong Nguyen, age 34, was sentenced today for his role in designing websites to mock financial institutions and using those sites to scam over 38,000 victims. He worked with Romanian scammers to help drive people to the sites through email phishing. Nguyen sold the data containing the identities stolen from the fake sites.....
After caught, Nguyen told police that phishing was simple to do and that methamphetamines helped him continue his drive to steal identities. He was charged with conspiracy, aggravated identity theft, possession of a firearm and access-device fraud. During sentencing, lawyers for Nguyen attempted to argue that he had cleaned up his life and stopped using meth.

Here is a prime example of punishment involving identity theft. 12 years up the river.
Now this guy went through a lot of trouble to obtain his stolen ID's, and he was caught with 38k of them. He had to create fake sites and get his own suckers.
Now imagine for a minute....when people like this learn there is a place that gives out stolen ID's like cotton candy at a carnival, for free?
That place would be Anonymous. How many of these career ID thieves do you think they are supplying?
Anyone can be a member, get the data etc.
Accomplice charges to the crimes people like this do could send any anon ddos kiddie up the river for a long long time.

Anonymous? Why jump to conclusions? The article tells all and Anonymous is not mentioned. I am stunned to read what you wrote. "Anyone can be a member" well explains how little you know of what you are assuming. Please do some online reading about Anon aside from what the media is telling you. I'm afraid you have seriously been mislead.
