Seems likely there's more going on here than meets the eye. Somebody's playing games. Either:

1. Anonymous does, in fact, have enough of a centralized leadership that they can pull off this kind of thing as an attention-getting disinformation tactic.

2. This "rogue admin" is working with the feds as part of some kind of deal. By releasing some info they get some people to panic, drop their defenses, generate chatter, and then they observe who's talking to whom and who's wiping their disks.

3. What do you know? Anarchists have their power struggles too. Anonymous may fail to maintain enough of an identity to remain relevant.

4. All of the above.

Yup, exactly. I'm absolutely ASTOUNDED it took this long for at least a portion of anon to start festering from within.
