Seriously I can give you many reasons why 'Anonymous' is evil but it will probably break the tnc's.
What groups such as LulzSec and Anonymous do is attempt to stop the average person having a choice at all. In engaging in a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against a business, so-called hacktivists are not promoting freedom: they are using force to promote their views, and removing the choices other people would have made.
It’s one thing to attempt to convince people to change their view – but there are many ways of doing this. Some of the recent non-violent rallies against Walmart (in response to a sexual discrimination lawsuit) in the US are examples of one, non-dogmatic approach.
Force and coercion do not create freedom – they only create fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Strikes me as a bit out of balance. Either the government is all that or they aren't.edit on 4-2-2013 by Spookycolt because: (no reason given)
Fedwire is a real-time gross settlement funds transfer system operated by the United States Federal Reserve Banks that enables financial institutions to electronically transfer funds between its more than 9,289 participants (as of March 19, 2009).[1] In conjunction with the privately held Clearing House Interbank Payments System (CHIPS), Fedwire is the primary United States network for large-value or time-critical domestic and international payments, and it is designed to be highly resilient and redundant. The average daily value of transfers over the Fedwire Funds Service in 2007 was approximately $2.7 trillion, and the daily average number of payments was about 537,000.

What have anonymous ever achieved?
Can we buy new cars using these bank details? How long will it take for these high profile bankers to have their numbers all changed and cards replaced etc, 1 or 2 days?
This is a media stunt for people seeking relevance.
I'm not for anything that just names a target as hate-worthy and then goes and does things nobody else can...
