I almost became a mole within the anonymous 'think tank'. I had to solve two ridiculous complex puzzles (which took me hours and only a few others passed -- out of over 100) to reveal a password that I would then mention to a specific person on IRC. After the person received the correct answer to the puzzles, he linked me to a .rar file containing further information. The rar was password protected with the answer to the puzzle. Within the file were documents on how to continue the application process and how the organization was structured and operated (not very detailed). It asked what areas I had proficiency in, why I wanted to join the cause, etc. I sent in the requested information (which was quite lengthy but they didn't ask for any sensitive info) and was approved to continue. I was told to simply recruit 10 more people using the same puzzles and files I was tested with. This was in order to prove I wasn't trying to join simply to troll because it required a bit more effort and time to accomplish. At that point I stopped the process because I didn't want to become part of something that could eventually get me into legal trouble.
Now they didn't claim to be 'anonymous' but claimed to be a force around the planet with numbers growing steadily -- apparently planning operations and carrying them out. So I'm guessing that's them and I'm certain the FBI, NSA, and/or the CIA already have at least a couple of moles that know all about the people behind the anonymous hackings. They'll just wait in the shadows for months or years until they follow the tree of anonymous down to every root. In my opinion anyway. :-)

I make sure people go to jail. The only thing more fun is Diablo 3.
