in the midst of the manhunt several people have fallen in the crossfire one of them has led our levinson founder of the corruption site live a bit he's cooperated with authorities in the past on criminal investigations but when feds came knocking around knocking on his door this time around they didn't just want a few e-mails they wanted his entire s.s. code s.s.l. code that is the code that encrypts the entire service he fought for months with authorities before he was finally forced to hand it over and write as he did this message popped up on the lot of that website it's a letter announcing lava bits permanent closure the letter says levinson pulled it down for moral reasons and that he was legally not allowed to explain why well after months of questions and speculation the door levinson is finally allowed to talk about his ordeal he joined me last week to tell me what made him decide to kill the website down and the lengths that the government went on its mission to get this s.s.l. code. i was surprised at the lengths they were willing to go to conduct their investigation you know i

--trid levinson! hi. astrid, this is everybody. look. this is your family.ell. he may not be here. say hello. okay, here we go. lion king. michael, michael, michael. michael, michael, that's-- yeah, yeah, that's too high. okay. i'll take that. okay, come on. let's get our shower on. conference room. choppity-chip-chop. are you okay? you seem kinda-- i'm fine, weirdo. such an h.r. weirdo. try not to suck all the air out of there when you walk in. ready to play some games? let's do it. michael, the baby's already been born. yeah, duh. so we had games planned, but the baby ruins all of 'em. no, the baby doesn't ruin anything, kevin, okay? the baby multiplies the fun. let's just do what you were going to do. okay, who wants to guess when the baby will be born?

love it it's a letter announcing love and it's prominent closure of a lot of the letter says that levinson pulled it down for moral reasons and that he was legally not allowed to explain why well after months of questions and speculation that our love and sin is finally allowed to talk about his ordeal he joined me last week to tell me what made him decide to hold that web site down and the lengths that the government went to get its hands on that s.s.l. code. i was surprised at the lengths they were willing to go to conduct their investigation you know i honestly believe that the the lawyers and the f.b.i. agents involved felt that they were doing the right thing. i just think that you know they didn't realize that in the process of conducting their investigation you know they were effectively violating the privacy rights of all of my users and had quickly become effectively the greatest domestic enemy to our constitution in recent memory. i mean that's my own personal political belief now what exactly was the government trying to get and one in fact did they get i understand that they we

with access to his service encryption key later levinson explain to our t. why he preferred to close rather than disclose. i took the stance that i did not try and protect a single person but because i was concerned about the invasion and the sacrificing of everyone's privacy rights that was accessing my system i know they threatened me on more than one occasion with jail i think the only reason they didn't do it is because if they had the service would have eventually shut down on its own with nobody to maintain it and the only reason they didn't arrest me after the shutdown was because of the media the public city but it's pretty scary to to think about what lengths they're willing to go to conduct these investigations and you know effectively what's going on is just completely undermining what little trust there was in commercial technology products here in the u.s. google yahoo facebook they've been fighting requests via the pfizer court they've been fighting requests like the ones that i received. the fact is they've been losing five days of government

it's a mystery to me i worked in i had a meeting with terence winter martin scorsese and steven levinson who was one of the producers. at the waldorf. and i didn't even do an audition or anything we'd not just sat there and i think terry turns when i had seen me in a play. that at left quite an impression on him and kind of it almost seemed as if you wrote the part with me in mind but on them i really have that in scorsese hands on that. i know he he watches all of them and he gives notes and feedback but he's very busy and you're out playing or keep dimes if you like if you like playing little bits. i don't know i like i like playing characters that i think are complicated for example someone like generals i think is very it's a very complicated character because he's not necessarily a villain he's just. as different interest than than most people on earth because he's not from here you know krypton he's a hero you know he's basically trying to save his civilization i like that the stakes of that the stakes are very high as a fun movie to do. yeah i was it's a lot of fun to work with za

so i'd like to welcome up the vice-chair of the commission alan lowe and megan levinson to say hello. you look surprised. >> the last thing you need on a glorious day like this is yet another speech. so, just congratulations to this tremendous community and to everybody that's been mentioned already. i have a child somewhere in that playground and i have got to go find her. so, congrats. (applause) >> commissioner, it's good to see that you can go left and use your left hand. maybe do it more often, right, supervisor avalos? anyway, it's great to see everybody here. it's a great showing of what can happen when everybody comes together. and under the 2012 bond, there's more to come, but you've heard enough speeches so let's shut up and get out and play. [cheering and applauding] >> thank you, commissioners. all right. just a couple more speakers then we're going to cut that ribbon. but they're playing anyway so it doesn't -- we're good. all right. so, this is a team effort, right. it's the community, it's government, it's park avenue katz, it's everyone. but our capital bond program is

zuckerberg and priscilla chen, his wife, and recently jack marr who's the founder of alibaba and mark levinson apple to give out 6 million dollars apiece. >> so how does the person win this prize? tell us how to go about it? where are you finding the talent? >> there's an open nomination process. anybody can nominate his or her candidate and then there is a very transparent process whereby the previous winners will select the next winners. and that year the winners will be announced on december 12th. >> the inwere's announced on december 12th, they get the money in terms of putting that money to work. where do you expect some of these prizes to be best allocated? where will this money serve the need and this demand and serve the technology best? >> well, this particular prize is actually targeted at putting money really in the hands of scientists and they can pretty much do whatever they want with that money. i think it's really a personal recognition of what they have done for the humanity. and i think that this sizeable amount of money is really meant to send a signal to the world that funda

democratic congressman sander levinson says these folks are getting it wrong.ations but transitions. >> the congress is transitioning into something more pricey. these folks. >> not entirely right. some people have letters that say you are canceled. more people have got letters saying, you are canceled and by the way, you're being transitioned automatically into a similar policy. >> you guys want to keep throwing that then. some people it is true. there is reality to this that no one wants to acknowledge. like any major piece of legislation there will be winners, losers. neil: i thought everyone was going to be a winner. do you think this is being pushed, some of you will be losers and some will have to pay double the premiums were three times the premiums and transitioned into more. you think it would have accepted and gotten this to become law. >> the answer is no. neil: every administration. >> the democrats and the republicans. >> people had to give up their health care. neil: someone is lying. >> the president light. it is a sad day. >> but is not a sad da

citizen robert levinson, and amir he can madty. indeed, both the president and the secretary of state raised these questions with the iranians. every day their families wait for them to come home. so as we do, we will remain in close consultations with oural highs and partners in the region including israel whose security remains a paramount focus. we will also continue our close consultation with you and with other members of the congress as we have in the past so that any congressional action is aligned with our negotiating strategy as we move forward. thank you again for this opportunity to discuss with this committee the important developments over the past week in new york. as always, i look forward to regular engagement with you in the weeks ahead and to your questions and comments today. thank you. >> thank you, madam secretary. let me, relate me start off -- let me start off. there's so much here, but i heard a sentence in your statement, and i get a little concerned. let me make it very clear from my perspective that when

robert levinson hakmati and said albert dini. both mr. huck money end up with dini are in prison.it would be a grand humanitarian gesture since they did nothing wrong for them to be released and it would be very important if robert levinson who has not been known to his family since march 2007, almost seven years now. almost seven years for iran to cooperate and help us to find out where he is and get him back to his family. finally we have sanctioned more than 30 iranian individuals and organizations for their involvement in the complicity in human rights. they continue to support human rights in iran and we also use our first role in the sea tehran platform and its associated u.s. facebook youtube twitter and google+ platforms to promote freedom of expression and respect for human rights and freedom with electoral processes. it's very interesting that allen ayer who is a fluent farsi speaker and really the voice of of our face to iranians an interview with him was put on the front page of the iranian pew paper for the first time including a very nice picture of allen. he is part
