Of course. None of it is anything you couldn’t have found in a few minutes on Google, so I’m not sure why you’re quite so blithely confident that I’m making shit up, but I’m happy to educate you.
First, go read what Weev wrote about the attack on blogger and writer Kathy Sierra. Seriously, I do recommend you read all of it to get an idea for the man’s character; he is, by the way, lying about Sierra’s personal history, and he’s probably lying about the reason for it, but that’s not much of a defense. An excerpt:
I have a long history of enabling people on the Internet that want to
trolley or ruin. Generally I find that if people have the desire to ruin
something, it deserves to be ruined. I am a karmatic implement at most.
In case you doubt that djfooroach/Memphis Two is Weev, he informs us himself in this New York Times article, which you should also read. An excerpt:
Over a candlelit dinner of tuna sashimi, Weev asked if I would
attribute his comments to Memphis Two, the handle he used to trolley
Kathy Sierra, a blogger. Inspired by her touchy response to online
commenters, Weev said he “dropped docs” on Sierra, posting a
fabricated narrative of her career alongside her real Social Security
number and address. This was part of a larger driving trollies campaign
against Sierra, one that culminated in death threats. Weev says he has
access to hundreds of thousands of Social Security numbers. About a
month later, he sent me mine.
In 2007, Kathy Sierra was the target of an avalanche of death and rape threats that drove her out of tech and public life entirely. Nobody seems to be quite certain why, except that it may have had to do with a blog post defending people’s right to delete comments from their own blogs. Sierra said, “I have cancelled all speaking engagements. I am afraid to leave my yard, I will never feel the same. I will never be the same.” Weev, as you’ve just read, claims credit for this. He’s proud of it.
There’s plenty more out there, if you care to trace through Weev’s many aliases. He was never shy about how much he loved brutalizing people. “I hack, I ruin, I make piles of money,” he boasted. “I make people afraid for their lives.” --The New York Times again.
I keep saying, and people keep ignoring, that I can respect the argument (which Sierra herself has made) that Weev should not in prison for this particular charge, but the notion that he is actually innocent of all wrongdoing is completely untrue.
