I don't think they would argue that this was anything other than revenge.

| Quote : | | "Why did he talk to the Financial Times in the first place? Barr says he had been preparing to give a talk at the B-Sides security conference in San Francisco on Feb. 14 about information security in social media, and he wanted to drum up some publicity ahead of time to help spur the debate." |
1. Research Anonymous.

If he pulled this type of thing with the mob or a gang they would have found his body floating in a river, so he should probably count his blessings and learn a lesson from it. Had his own intentions been pure he would have completed his work, transferred what he had learned to the FBI, and nobody would know who he is. His intention was to gain fame and money off Anonymous' name and it backfired.
