From what I gather, while occupying the refuge center, Bundy claimed he discovered documents related to the Hammons case that would show how the BLM and the US Fish and Game used illegal means to subvert the established processes in place, which forced land owners off their property or efforts on the Feds part to illegally grab land.

Good find. Just a little odd that a group like Anonymous wouldn't do research before targetting someone.
The Hammonds were "forced" to sign an agreement that their land has to go to the BLM/Feds-when they die etc to pay off the $400,000 fine that was in imposed for the Hammonds activities. Which appears to be imporper but that will have to be proven in court.
The Hammonds in late 2014 agreed to pay the federal government $400,000 to settle a lawsuit seeking to force them to pay more than a $1 million in costs for fighting fires they set. The Hammonds paid $200,000 right away and paid the rest Thursday.
The settlement also required the Hammonds to give the land bureau first chance at buying a particular ranch parcel adjacent to public land if they intended to sell

Per Santilli - What better way to gain the trust of a group than to "out" FBI agents among them?
That may have been a ploy all along to get inside the group.
It appears that after LaVoy's murder (I do believe it was murder and he was shot with his hands up) one person in each vehicle was allowed to go free and was also unnamed. I found that fact interesting and somewhat suspect.
No, I watched the video very carefully and, if my memory serves me correctly, he was NOT shot while his hands were in the air. He was shot while clearly trying to reach for "something" around his waste-line. The dude got stupid and got himself killed.
