10% of 10 million? That’s an incredible fucking amount for a federal criminal defense. I fought the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and other than PR expenses, which the community did not cover, I raised maybe $25,000 for attorney fees to cover trial, and then various experts and civil rights organizations came in on appeal. But unless you get to the appeals phase, nobody is going to cover. Asking for 10 million is a ludicrous grift, especially considering they pled guilty! They were literally not fighting the charges. It does not take a million dollars to plead guilty. I am sorry, the perspective of people on this issue is retarded. If you don’t go to trial, you should have no expectation of assistance. They pled. They bowed out. There is no precedent on the line until it goes to appeal. Nobody should get a golden parachute for a guilty plea. In retrospect, they should have got $0, and every donation towards them was a foolish waste subsidizing their commissary books and private lives that should have gone towards people actually fighting for our civil rights.
