I believe people who say that are just trying to emphasize their innocents. I bet he never does anything like this again (if he truly was innocent). I couldn't imagine having that close of a run-in with the FBI, not being prosecuted and then going about the same innocent activity. I used to try and email webmasters about their sites being compromised when I received links in SPAM messages...you know, www dot LegitimateSite dot com slash FakeFolder1 slash HackersPage dot PHP. I've probably reported 6 or 7 to LegitimateSite because they've clearly been hacked (in fact, one was a university) but when I get no "Thank you" or not even a response, I start wondering if they think I'm up to something. I haven't tried to help in that capacity for years now though I think about doing it again from time-to-time because I know I'm just trying to help. I'd never help again if I was threatened by the FBI, despite my innocents.
