I wonder what will happen to Sabu after this?

Probably lots of phone calls, some random unsolicited pizza appearing on his doorstep, and all kinds of slander on every chan board ever made.

Oh, you mean IRL? Dunno. You'd think they'd have cut him a deal for helping them out.

This is a pretty impressive rollup by the Feds.

Seems like an inverted flipping maneuver. Rather than starting with the small fish and cutting deals up to the top, they hit the ostensible mouthpiece/leader and wraps up all of the other folks in the org so that it doesn't splinter off and create successor orgs.

Oh Fox News. Even when reporting on something legitimately interesting and out of the ordinary, they have to use very un-journalistic phrases like "...allegedly commanded a loosely organized, international team of perhaps thousands of hackers..."

"Perhaps thousands"? Perhaps millions! Perhaps five. Ugh.
