Did I just see Sobe mentioned in the botnet article?

"Ancheta boasted about the ease with which adware firms could be hoodwinked, the government's indictment said. In an instant message conversation with an unnamed (and unindicted) co-conspirator living in Florida, Ancheta said "it's easy like slicing cheese." Replied the co-conspirator, named only as "SoBe" in the indictment, "I just hope this lc [LOUDcash] stuff lasts a while so I don't have to get a job right away."
Authorities allege that Ancheta received frequent payments from the adware suppliers via check or through PayPal; the biggest check was for nearly $8,000. The bulk of his illegal earnings came from Gammacash.
"My spending average is $600 a week, every friday [sic] I buy new clothes and every week I buy new parts for my car," Ancheta allegedly wrote SoBe in another AIM message."
Or am I seeing things?
