Reddit was actively coordinating going after the wrong person which is an entirely different beast. Krebs is acting as an investigative journalist - he even gave them the opportunity to respond. Your local news stations don't send reporters out to try to talk to local scammers?

You make a valid point and have changed my mind. Investigative journalists do do that. I guess I don't really see Krebs as a journalist so it feels "wrong" to me, but when you put it that way, if it was Anderson Cooper on live TV showing this proof it wouldn't feel "wrong".
