"The search warrants were executed at homes in San Antonio and Belleaire, Texas; Johnson City and Fulton, N.Y.; and Waukesha, Wis. Another search was conducted at the office of The Planet, a Dallas-based Internet service provider."
Although thePlanet is *not* the subject of the investigation, perhaps it should be since they are still hosting an AOL phisher which is still live after being both reported to their abuse department and posted in NANAE. They didn't even acknowledge receipt of the LART.

This AOL niche spammer seems to like your service, but others would prefer that you cancel their account for violation of your TOS/AUP. One would think that you now have grounds to cancel all of Bernie Peters / SPEWS S2134 / Reflected.net domains hosted with you.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

More information is expected today about the massive arrests and search warrants executed by the US government. If only they would execute a few of the spammers as an example as well.
Cheers,

Is that article available somewhere else? I tried to go to it, but it apparently wants a screen name and password, and I don't have an account there.

Perhaps, but the article and charges on those accused has nothing to do with the phishers:
"The FBI seized computers, software and equipment as part of an investigation into illegal sharing of copyright movies, music and games..."

I copy the FBI on these phish attempts, particularly the ones that reference a US site or ISP. (Submit a tip on their website).

Hmm, we'll (tinw) see what the FBI has to say about that!

You are correct.
Internet America began buying smaller ISP's a few years back. When they did, both customer service and satisfaction deteriorated. Spammy knows how to "play" ISP's who try to grow too fast and who value money over good buisiness ethics.
Still, thePlanet.com *never* did acknowledge the LART and the phisher is *still* live. That bad belongs to thePlanet.
