This guy thought he was ordering from his bud and got busted.

He was arrested and had the goods.. That's fair and he should be convicted on those charges, in which he was. He was serving time in state prison for that crime.
The issue is he's not being charged just for that but for 50 million dollars in losses that the Feds claim happened due to members of that forum. He is being charged with crimes and for damages we all know he didn't commit. It's guilt by association and he shouldn't be charged under the Rico act.
It's like you getting hit with federal charges because affiliate program you are sending joins to is banging cards. You getting charged via the Rico act because you are a member of their affiliate program. While yes this guy committed fraud, who's to say this very thing couldn't played out right here on GFY..
You send a join to xyz program they bang the card to hell in back, the Feds step in and claim you are part of an organized crime ring.
