Is questionable. There is to date no proof that that is why Aaron was targeted, but there is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence that prosecutors wanted to be seen as tough on cybercrime.
I do consider it an open question, there have been some hints that his activism was part of the reason but for want of proof you can't really contend that it was.
