The cult's case against Sean is over.
For public release and posting at your discretion:
To Anonymous:
I have just concluded a telephone call from a Los Angeles Police Department representative assigned to the major crimes division.
During that telephone call I was advised that both the Los Angeles District Attorney and the Los Angeles City Attorney had decided not to proceed any further with the filing of criminal charges against outed Anonymous participant Sean Carasov. This means that the case is over and there will be no further court appearances required by Sean.
The decision not to prosecute was made before I had emailed the existence of a video/audio report of the entire incident. This, or the CD copy, is now needed immediately by the LAPD. I said we would try and have it there tomorrow.
From the LAPD’s perspective the video/audio might indicate that the offense of filing a false police report had been committed. From Sean Carasov’s perspective it may support a law suit seeking damages for false arrest and imprisonment.
The 70 page draft declaration I provided this morning is now being read. It would not surprise me if the L.A.P.D. decided that the best action would be to take action in connection with matters in that document already.
During the conversation I obtained the distinct impression that the Scientology enterprise has a number of Anon participants under surveillance. I also received the message that provided Anon acted lawfully, and picketed lawfully, they would be just fine. However, the Scientology enterprise is going to great effort to try and find any unlawful conduct by Anon. And we know that if Scientology cannot find your “crime” then it will “manufacture” the allegations.
Obviously the entire incident should teach us all a lesson in not providing the cult an inch with which to take a mile! Let DM be the only one who “goes postal.”
Congratulations Sean.

In late January 2008, a group of internet pranksters from several online communities started working together under the name "Anonymous". Using a wide variety of talents and tactics, their aim has been to undermine and expose the "Church" Of Scientology's corrupt, and often illegal practices. These include the Suppression of freedom of speech and expression, the enforced breaking up of families under their Disconnection policy, and their frequent subjection of critics and opponents to Fair Game attacks.
In early March 2008, the CoS declared on their own website and several accounts of video hosting websites that Sean Carasov was a prevalent member of Anonymous (note: Anonymous has no hierachy).
Shortly after, on March 13th Sean posted this in an IRC chatroom:
After Discovering this, Sean posted in anger the following:
It should be noted that the right to defend one's house against intruders is defended under the United States second amendment. More importantly, in a pattern that happens regularly to people who come into conflict with the "church", his cat had just been killed in highly suspicious circumstances. No doubt one of the intentions was to provoke him into reacting in an emotionally charged manner.
Breaking old news: Killing animals both owned by critics and as symbolic omens seems to be a regular practice of the CoS.
The CoS have falsely accused many people that couldn't care less about this cause of being "terrorists". If you have anything to do with internet culture or are a critic of scientology, please start to ween any pets that eat or drink outside, back in.

Although the group "Anonymous" has been accused of many possibly unethical actions in this campaign. The people involved in this campaign have never supported actions that would result in injury, suffering or death of any living being.
