The members of the election commission are almost certainly criminals, but I'm not as convinced when it comes to the guy who pulled the trigger on releasing the data. I can all too easily picture a hapless developer whose family doesn't know where he is.

That's an excellent point. One I completely overlooked. If it's the case this was done intentionally to cause outrage in Azerbaijan, get people complaining and to spark a movement towards a democratically elected government, then I'd consider the guy that released the data a hero.
