Hi,

Thanks for all the emails I received. Just to make a few points of
clarification in regards to our specific situation...

- The credit cards being used were not stolen on the Internet, as not
all of the cardholders involved in these related incidents had made
purchases on the Internet.

- The person or persons using these stolen cards had all the correct
information (such as address and even phone number, which is how we were
able to contact each cardholder).

- We traced at least one of these incidents back through some proxies to
a residential DSL line in the US, and I'm sure the Internet provider
could furnish whomever [under subpoena] with name and address.

I'm going to contact a few of the people who emailed me, but it sounds
like from the other half of the emails I received, very few law
enforcement agencies are interested in making arrests these days. If
this is the case, I'm wondering what reporting this to the media would
do. A story about how the government lets theifs run free sounds like
it'd be enough to get some government organizations to shape up.
