First of all, I love how one text file is used as evidence. I mean really. In fact, to show you what I mean, I just created a text file named Anonymous that had "We Are Legion" in it on my desktop.
Second, Anonymous isn't a group that has entrance exams interviews or anything. You can come and you can go as much as you want. I can be part of anonymous just by saying so, and if I feel liek it I can say I am not a part of them. You (and I mean you, the individual reading this) can do the exact same.
So there you go, two reasons just how silly this is.
Edit: I forgot to mention. Do you HONESTLY think Anonymous will go ahead an literally rape a humongous company's security that they hate, and then proceed to not gloat endlessly about it? If you say yes, then you don't know anything about Anonymous' previous actions.

They are not that stupid.
Anyone that would such a thing and gloat about it on the web would go straight to jail without getting their 20 000$...
However weak Sony security might have been, breaching into their network and stealing the information is actually a crime.
The biggest breach on record was at Heartland where 100 millions of credit card numbers were stolen.
The hacker responsible was sentenced last year to 20 years in jail......

Because they obviously failed to gloat when they hacked illegaly into other networks. Like say, the security firm, or Gawker media. Correct?
Edit: Remembered the sceurity company was HBGary.
|
No credit card or personnal information on that scale was stolen in those case.
And the FBI or homeland security weren't involved...

They were still severely harmul to the company, especially HBGary, and are federal crimes, not state. Whoever the hacker is, he is still going to jail. Furthermore, even at the worst estimates, nowhere near close to 100million credit card numbers were retrieved from the PSN. I just mention that in case you want to argue on the severity of the crime and the amount of years someone will go to jail for, instead of whether they go to jail or not.
