I bought the cigars, sent them to Clinton's A Liar who sent them with some videotapes to the guy. Soon after, he was outed through some aggressive, thorough work by sneakypete and his fellow Special Forces crew. They intimidated the heck out of the guy, got him to do some public service on his own (I think he was told it was make it right or we go to the police).
I got a box of better cigars than the ones I sent AND $30 cash. I chuckle about it to this day.......I learned from it: I haven't been sucked into an Internet scheme since.

Those were some interesting days.... CAL was so sure sneaky was a disrupter and he was banned before he could respond back on the thread. She even used his online moniker as a way to trash him. sneakypete was reinstated but later on he was banned again or he left. He was posting on some of the other forums but I've not seen his moniker lately but then I've not looked either. I wish those threads were available online today.
Some interesting threads with Don Morgan and the 'Ash Alert'. Then there were the threads when Lucianne, Drudge and the others left to go start Lucianne.com.
You're heart was in the right place, that's for sure. Kudos anyway, regardless of how it turned out.
Hope this somehow gets put in the FR Lore Book. I hope some creative FReeper will think about getting something started along that line.
