Georgia AG's Office Caught red-handed in cyber-sting

[RustyNale]

I just re-read this whole thread, and I'm just absolutely amazed at the thought of how much pressure that Dave and his family have been under and the depth of friendship that his friends have extended to him. If not for you guys, this man and his family would have been swallowed up whole and never seen again by a country that was supposedly founded on the principles that a person was innocent UNTIL proven quilty. Just AWESOME what the "inner circle" and the rest of the support that everyone else has shown Dave and his family. Just AWESOME! SALUTES to all!

"oh and someone needs to get me McOwens phone number...any help?"

Dave or DanC, PM me and I'll give you his e-mail address. >>



Whoah, he may not be a politician or newscaster, but this man has been around for a long time and has some influence in the Tech World. Good job getting his attention.

I have been following the Dave McOwen case for some time now and I am really proud of the actions taken by a group of my fellow AT members to help him out. No, not just to help Dave but to help us all by exposing the government agencies that are out to remove from us certain freedoms and our privacy.

BZ guys and gals!

HAHAHAHAHA! That laugh's on you, Attorney General Baker. Dang, I can't wait to be back online at home so I can really dig into this one. Well done, Team AnandTech.

This needs a bump.

Bump.

Good work and I hope the lawyers can use it.

Might I suggest also summarizing it for the average person. It's a good read, but also quite a long read, maybe a tad too long for your average Joe.

I can't believe I missed this. Ok, well, yes, I was gone away from a computer for 2 weeks while this was posted, but still...

Damn... I started to laugh. Just great Great job guys.


Edit: I knew there was something odd about those forums. They just didn't seem like there was anything going on (which I thought was odd since the "purpose" of the forums was to organize). I still think it's funny.

I'm just seeing this thread for the first time too--completely awesome! As a Georgian (in no way affiliated with any govt agency ) I am following this closely, of course.

Great work you guys!

WoW

That's all i can say. Everyone's who participated in the effort of bringing not only David to justice, but helping to correct our short-sighted law's deserves a huge pat on the back. I'm really glad to have people around like this that really care - this is why America is great.

I hope someone pursues this cyber-sting and has charges pressed against these clowns so they can see what it is like. :|
