Marty Gottesfeld bids adieu
He is off to a new location.
Marty Gottesfeld may be getting a new home.
For several years now, he has called the Communications Management Unit (CMU) inside the federal prison first in Terre Haute, Indiana and then in Marion, Illinois.
He may be on the move, but it’s not clear if he will stay inside a CMU.
The CMU was created by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBP) after 9/11.
Primarily, it houses Jihadis and other dangerous individuals; Marty is a hacktivist, a non-violent offender.
Gottesfeld was convicted in 2016 of redirecting all sorts of internet traffic so that it attacked the website of Boston Children’s Hospital.
He did this stunt, Marty stated, because Boston Children’s Hospital was involved at the time in the medical kidnapping of Justina Pelletier.
His motive made little difference, and he was given a ten-year sentence.
He’s scheduled to be released in 2024.
Since arriving at the CMU, he has caused the FBP all sorts of trouble by spilling the secrets from inside this unit.
CMU is a euphemism, of course, for a unit where communication is difficult.
Difficult but not impossible and Marty has been able to communicate and leak stories: like the murder of an insurance scammer by a Jihadi and a guard who engages in sexual harassment.
His time in the CMU may be coming to an end.
