Greetings all!,
             This text file is here to inform all of you about 
the recent busts here in Melbourne, Australia.  These have all 
come about thanks to Jamison Williams, known to many as Mark 
(because he knows that his real name is a clear indication of 
his homosexual tendencies.)  Anyways, he has used many handles 
in his time including Raphael/Lucifer/Nosferatu, and was sysop 
of Empire of Darkness BBS!  His search warrant was for having 
some kiddy porn (need I say more!) on his board.   But 
obviously this was just to get at the H/P sections he had on 
his board, of which many users contributed to.  The feds must 
have got him pretty scared (especially with all the attention 
the media has been paying to this form of crime) because 
recently, some of Australia's great H/P people have been 
busted, and more are sure to follow.  These include:

    FREESTYLE (even though he quit the scene a while back!)
    ANTHRAX (for his love of UNIX)
    MALFESANT TROOPER (relatively new but had some good sources)

    Anthrax and Freestyle should be known to many people in 
the H/P world since they have been around for quite a while.  
It should also be noted that ANTHRAX HAS ALSO TURNED NARC,  so 
people on the Net beware of him!  Freestyle and Malfesant 
Trooper aren't being as helpful and swear they won't follow in 
the others footsteps, still its best to be cautious.  The most 
likely cause of the busts is because of the attention some H/P 
people here have been paying to DMS and other military nets. 
It seems however, that they have gotten away unscathed, for 
now anyway.

    As for the busts, it appears that the feds have got their 
work cut out for them to try and put cases against them.  
Malfesant Trooper, being 16 will probably get a warning.  
Freestyle will be ok since his hard drives was encrypted (as 
was Malfesant's), with something I doubt they will be able to 
crack.  As for Anthrax, he did all of his work from uni, and 
although the feds raided both his house of residence and his 
parents home I doubt they will find much.  The hassle is he is 
cooperating (most likely because he has been in trouble 
before) and I'm sure he will have given them a comprehensive 
list of who does what and their numbers.

    One other note of interest is that among the regular faces 
of the feds was none other than IVAN TROTSKY.  Well I sure   
hope he enjoys busting people for doing what he was doing many 
a year ago.  I guess it just shows it takes a try hard hacker 
to catch a real one.  Oh, and I do hope they pay you well!

    Anyways, I've rambled on enough so now you can stop 
reading, and give Raphael/Lucifer/Nosferatu/Paedophile a call 
at +61-3-7638516 and convey to him anything you have on your 
mind, preferably in the middle of the night.  Above all if you 
get busted, just say "Jam told me how!" (as we once did with 
Dion "Future Man" Wallace who was another fuckhead from years 
back).

Take care,

   PSBT
