Generally not a wise idea to publicly admit to being an accomplice to theft.

There is probably a long tail of bad outcomes that could arise from admitting illegal activity on the web. But I don't think it stands up to the kind of cause-and-effect that'd be like:

IF you say on a forum, "I broke this law," THEN you get an email from [email protected] saying, "You spoke and we listened!"

I had an email about an iPod Nano. More than happy to talk to Apple about it, but when I emailed them in 2010 about the scheme my friend was running, I never heard anything back.

I don't think simply being in the room with someone committing a crime, even knowing that's what they're doing, doesn't give you accomplice liability. I think you have to assist or encourage. You do not generally have an affirmative responsibility to prevent people from committing crimes.

I let them know about this way back when, email went into a void.
