It happens every few months. Someone is stupid enough to do something illegal, then leaves all kinds of evidence. Someone else (usually the victim) exposes the obvious criminal stupidity on a forum and links spread across the net like wildfire.

I remember one about six months ago where Guy A ripped off Guy B on a sale, then not only admitted it on the Internet, but claimed Guy B deserved to be ripped off. That setoff a huge linkstorm that resulted in Guy A's daddy, employer and all of his friends finding out about his questionable moral compass. That linkstorm shut down the original forum, plus a few related ones for days.

On another forum I belong to, its called Pirate4x4 some of the things people try is amazing. CNF, it's not suppost to be impressive. Maybe impressivly rediculous. This is one of the things where it probobly would have been best never to make such a big deal out of it. The guy is humiliating himself as well as the "perp".
