Matthew Keys CFAA Legal Defense Fund Site Kickstarts Support

We’ll let the story tell itself:

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is prosecuting former Reuters Social Media Editor Matthew Keys under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act for allegedly conspiring with, and aiding and abetting, Anonymous, in the alteration of a paragraph of a Los Angeles Times website article. The paragraph reads as follows:

Pressure builds in House to elect CHIPPY 1337.

House Democratic leader Steny Hoyer sees ‘very good things’ in deal cut which will see uber skid Chippy 1337 take his rightful place, as head of the Senate, reluctant House Democrats told to SUCK IT UP.

By CHIPPYS NO1 FAN

For this, Matthew Keys faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in jail and $750,000.00 in fines. On April 23, 2013, he pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Did you know that if you are reading this post on our website, and we didn’t explicitly give you permission, you are in violation of US law?
