I think saying "has to" is far too charitable. In the US you can't be compelled to actively assist an investigation. Hector is now nothing more than a professional snitch - he has voluntarily spent more time actively working to put kids in jail than he spent "working against the man" in anon/lulz/anti efforts combined.<p>The work he's doing now doesn't even relate to the activities he participated in since those bridges are long ago burned. These days the feebs are providing him with lists of infosec folks they haven't been able to get anything on who he then tries to befriend and then encourages them to commit crimes that he suggests.<p>Quite the committed activist.
Everything about that letter seems kind of creepy. "Pursuant to his cooperation agreement" ... which expires when? When the FBI decides they don't need him anymore?<p>That kind of wording makes it sound like they could, in effect, postpone it forever.
