On the other hand, depending on when this "war" occurred, he might be in violation of Federal hacking laws. Or perhaps impersonating a Federal Officer (FBI agent).
No, I suppose that would require that someone, somewhere, believed that he was arrested for child pornography, instead of for falsifying tax returns or other sovereign nonsense. (I am not a lawyer, but it saeems to me that if
he invited discussion of
his web site, that overrides any click-through contract preventing such discussion.)
I also find it amusing, even by sovereign standards, that a password could be considered an admission of an act. I found the 13-year-old discussion on sci.crypt as to whether one could legally refuse to give a password, if properly demanded by law enforcement, if it would be an admission of guilt to an unrelated crime. I believe the consensus was that the only way self-incrimination protection would work in the case of a file password, is that if government could not prove that the documents supposedly in the file actually existed; in other words, that the file was not random.
