What I see is a guy who 'earned' something like 100K per year
(WTF!!!) - money paid by the pentagon, while pretending to be a
'lefty' 'anarchist'.
AND, he got 100K per year from the pentagon to promote the
pentagon's fake anonimity network.
In my book that is pretty bad. And I don't think he's done any
pretty good things to at least offset all that bad, let alone
ending up with a positive balance.
Perhaps he wasn't as bad as other members of the tor 'project'
but that's not exactly a high standard. Not to mention he *was*
a full member of the tor establishment until a month ago.
Sorry.
