Here is the URL to the short and skinny (http://blog.cyberchun.com/archives/000428.html)

Given that there are potentially 20 some odd victims where were defrauded of apparently tens of thousands of dollars, this makes it into felony territory.

If the idiot ever used the US post office, wire and mail fraud charges could be in the offing as well.

That is, if vigilante justice doesn't have him swinging by his testicles from a convenient lamppost first.

This kid is f***ed.

Can't say I feel too sorry for him though.

that was possibly the most entertaining 45 minutes of reading in a long time.

Awesome. It's like a reality TV show about crime.

I liked the thread about "claw boy" even more. A guy steals a car under the pretext of going for a test drive, is spotted by a forum member and then all hell breaks lose (they get him through his myspace page :lol)

Note to self:

1) Do not piss off car enthusiasts on the internet.

Lakers fans, on the other hand... :devil

Where are the Spork stickers?

2) If your considering a life of crime - don't start by creating a myspace page :lmao

I almost bought a pair of bixenon headlights from that scammer. He actually has like 20+ usernames under proxy IPs and what he does is he's gonna post an ad on the classifieds section and use his other usernames to inquire publicly to entice other buyers. At first, he was using the handle c230_617 and was just an annoying little brat ala princess pimp that the mods cant seem to ban then he miraculously turned into this super con man swindling members left and right.
