Been pouring through the indictment for Lulzsec, that lil mayhem cell that sprang forth from Anonymous' womb (the hacker bandits), and later targeted STRATFOR, but some things are not adding up.

Sabu (CW-1 or Chief Witness 1 in the indictment), a member of Lulzsec was caught, flipped and released, for lighter sentencing early on in 2011, serving until recently as an FBI informant in the cell.

Through his duties as mole he provided early warning on the behaviours of his co-conspirators, and acquired, among other information, advance knowledge that STRATFOR was being targeted as early as December 6 2011(as indicated by chat logs, PAGE 16 of the indictment currently published on guardian.com). According to the afidavit, he also provided a server (courtesy of the FBI page 13 indictment) to the other members, in order to store the stolen STRATFOR data. The possibility that the hackers stored the data on multiple servers is mentioned(the indictment page 13 also). The indictment suggests that the hack began around December 14, 2011 (page 2, also 17; suggests hack began on December 13)

So either the FBI was unwilling, or unable to act in order to protect STRATFOR, despite having advanced warning? Seems kind of strange to my untrained self to sacrifice a company and it's clients, while you have information that can protect them. Did the FBI maybe collaborate with STRATFOR in some covert or less visible manner? Your thoughts?
