Just in the interest of being thorough (because I&#x27;m not at all interested in his guilt or innocence), there seems to be some confusion about the IP address:<p>&quot;As Keys tells it, he was merely gathering information as a journalist about Anonymous, but did not have his IRC handle registered—so, he supposes, someone else, using an entirely different IP address, was using that nickname instead.&quot;<p>&quot;&#x27;That was one of several names that I used, but it wasn&#x27;t locked down, it wasn&#x27;t registered and it looks like somebody did use it. It was connected to an IP address that wasn&#x27;t mine. The FBI agent admitted that he didn&#x27;t have any records of [that IP address].&#x27;&quot;<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;tech-policy&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;journalist-linked-to-anonymous-found-guilty-of-5-federal-counts-of-hacking&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;tech-policy&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;journalist-linked...</a>
