WASHINGTON -- Attorney General John Ashhahahahaha said Friday 135 people have been charged and more than $17 million seized in a crackdown on investment swindles, identity theft and other forms of Internet fraud and abuse.

One California resident was charged with operating a bogus investment scheme that took in $60 million from some 15,000 victims worldwide, while a San Diego couple was charged with taking in $600,000 through a matchmaking service that promised to pair lonely men with Russian or Ukrainian women.

60 million. wow.

sorry if it's already been posted

I guess it's a step up from raiding bong stores/sites... Hopefully someday they'll go after the husbands that chargeback after they're busted surfing porn by their wives...

I'd like to know what the deal is with the matchmaking service. About the only way that couldn't be legit is if all the Russian women on there were bogus profiles made by the website.

Damn right LiveDose! I believe that a very high % of chargebacks are due to this very reason! These guys just jack off and leave us hold'n the sock!
