The United States of America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested an anti-Anonymous man who carried out many child pornography activities and other related cyber crimes on the internet.
The FBI took six months to track him down and it was revealed that he was a disturbed hacker with “no skills.” Randall Charles Tucker described himself as anti- Anonymous operating under several pseudonyms to disrupt the activities of #OpDeathEaters, a campaign launched by Anonymous UK to expose child sex ring activities perpetrated by members of the UK’s Royal Family.

Operation Death Eaters also targets top celebrities and other well respected key figures occupying sensitive positions in the UK’s society. Some perpetrators of these crimes are also said to be in the current UK’s coalition government. After plotting these evil attacks against a group (Anonymous UK) that is fighting a good cause, luck eluded Tucker as he was arrested and charged with felony computer tampering. The Arizona Department of Public Safety confirmed Tucker’s arrest and said other charges have been brought against him for insulting and threatening the police, abusing state institutions and bringing down a child hospital website for no reason.

Chat transcripts, videos, photos and information obtained by the New York Observer revealed that Tucker had been operating under fake names such as ‘Bitcoin Baron’ and ‘ÐëVîÎZ’ and used these names to attack DC-based video news site, News2Share, who had published #OpHongKong by Anonymous which had racked up over 300,000 views. Tucker then used the name Bitcoin Baron to send an email to Ford Fischer of News2Share, demanding that he publish his video to counter what Anonymous had released. When Ford refused to do what he wanted, he issued a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on News2Share, taking down the site. Mr. Fischer ended up uploading his video to the site just to make the problem go away but it received less than 500 views.
“He was trying to make it seem like part of some network the whole time. It seemed like he wanted to have a sense of belonging. It makes sense that he’s not a socially adaptive young man and it seems like he was taking that out on the internet,” Fischer said.
Two months after the DDoS attack on News2Share, he came up with a YouTube channel which is covered with various videos: threats against government agencies, terrible raps and records of other rudimentary DDoS attacks. He also maintained a Twitter account to promote his work in public and reached out to the press several times to draw more attention to his illegal works.
The New York Observer said, when they interviewed Tucker last month on his activities, he positioned himself as a crusader against police injustice, municipal mismanagement and the corrupt, going after, “anything [he could] find really that’s got something to do with innocent citizens in the crosshairs of police.”
But contrary to his claim, when a man died in police custody in Moore, Oklahoma, he took down the city’s municipal website requesting for a ransom of $28,000 and when this was put to him in the interview, he failed to explain how paying him was supposed to right any wrongs. The money was however not paid to him.
He attacked municipalities, gaming services, hospitals, web hosts and other hacking groups as his targets and goals shifted. Also, regardless of his hatred of Anonymous, he casually participated in #OpSeaWorld, an Anonymous operation largely inspired by the documentary Blackfish, which exposed the widespread kidnapping and abuse of killer whales.
In March of this year, he also attacked the website for the Shriner’s Hospitals for Children organization. People who had contacts with him claim that the site for the children’s hospital was not just taken down, but defaced with child pornography as well. The following is a chat transcript between him and a friend as he was taking down the site:

Hope he will get rape in prison :))
You make this guy out to be a Child Pornographer, yet there is no evidence of this anywhere. Very irresponsible on your part Anonymous. Looks more like a cyber lynching. So he was a lone wolf. Lack of evidence = unjustified smear campaign.
they copied this article from the observer.com
i agree with your comment whole heartedly. the funny thing about this entire article(s), is that i know this person. and half of what is being said is fabricated by opinion. his work is extensive, and got deleted when the knock came to the door. which, um,…. we all do. so to have anonhq.com actually write an opinionated article is very very surprising but no, not really. Mainly one of the reasons why myself and a lot of anon fell back from this “glorified” movement and stick to the shadows. a lot of people do know me, including the FBI, but they do not know how far down the rabbit hole i go. which is the way it is suppose to be. I am not afraid to show my face, but my work is never shown. and that is how Randy got caught. he got caught up in the glorification of being known that it was him doing this work. he got mad when others would take his credit, failing to realize and remember why it is that we do what we do. but anonhq.com shame on you. I bet you guys are all probably doing this for the rep and not for the truth. especially when money comes to light? shall i published the financial records on past bin??????????
