ANONYMOUS hit again tonight. They hacked into the email server of TRAXYS. So who is TRAXYS? Well it is one of the companies implicated numerous times in getting coltan out of the Congo illegally in rebel controlled areas. It is a company based in Belgium owned by three American investment banks, two in New York (Pegasus Capital Advisors, Kelso & Company) and one in Denver Colorado (Resource Capital Funds) according to their own websitehttp://www.traxys.com/Gui/Content.aspx?Page=Shareholders
What ANONYMOUS did tonight was to release an email exchange from the company

I’m telling you… these folks are doing their homework and targeting the companies implicated in the Congo
This site will share some thoughts, analysis from Kambale Musavuli and anything he would like to share with the world in support of humanity in general, and Congolese in particular.

ANONYMOUS launched the second phase of #OPCOLTAN and they targeted the companies involved directly in the Congo. They shut down the website of the companies with DDos attacks. Here were the targets: Forrest Group of the Belgian mafia don George Forrest, OM Group in Cleveland Ohio, Cabot Corporation in Boston Massachussets. These three companies have been directly implicated in the conflict.
They also had three cell phone makers: Motorolacareers.com, HTC, Sony Mobile. While their action against the phone companies is noble, these companies are 5 steps down the supply chain and companies directly involved are known… and they are KEMET Electronics, CABOT, OM Group, and so on… The list can be found onhttp://conflictminerals.org/ with sourced-evidence of what these companies have done in the Congo.
