Lee man, did you read the article? The article you linked was about a company that automatically signed people up when they clicked on the page anywhere:
"Unlike other similar sites that confirm the users' intent to register," said the Daily Yomiuri, "clicking anywhere on the firm's sites causes the message 'membership registration is completed' to appear, from which time the user is required to pay fees."
Also, they are accused of extorting site members:
"Nakanishi is suspected of being involved in the loan-sharking operation and applying such techniques ? including cell-phone accounts under false identities for demanding payments and bank accounts under different names to handle the monies ? to extort site members and to keep themselves from being detected, according to those reports. "
Finally, the lending company was investigated because the cops suspected they were lending money above legal interest rates:
"The money-lending company was searched in July 2003 because it was suspected that they were charging interest as high as 20 times above the legal interest limit, the reports added."
Now, how the fuck does that article have ANYTHING to do with Rick Latona or a digital pawn shop? Besides that fact that Japan is closer to the Philipines then America, I see nothing related at all.
