FBI Raids 2 Data Centers in Texas, Confiscate Loads of Equipment

Comments please.

Looks a bit heavy by the FBI.

terrible article, they should have more quotes from hosting related businesses not the "fight the donate to me" guy

maybe a lawyer quote lol

Thats pretty damn fucked up!

Are the FBI going to be in the business of repo-ing cars next?

Amazing how much power these companies have and they can't use it positively.

Fuck... that is one thing I was NOT afraid of happening to my business.... until now.


Great. :(

Make sure your host doesn't host tubes kids...

Hey kid! Wanna be a G-Man?

that is just fantastic. bringing the FBI in to collect your debts.

Can anyone sign up for that program or do you have to be a huge corporation for that perk?

Someone started this thread a couple of days ago. The people who are behind the hosting companies are involved in multiple VoIP scams using falsified documents and fraudulent activities to get the contracts with ATT, Verizon and a few other carriers to the tune of $4-5 million. The owner (Faulkner is his name) also runs a bunch of pirate sites serving warez.

Especially since his quote is about the FTC and not the FBI... :winkwink:

Basically, if the FBI is raiding shit. You only need to worry if you're doing something illegal. :2 cents:

Ok, that takes care of your personal freedom...

What about the severe disruption to your 100% legal business due to them physically removing equipment?...

more shitty, one sided and biased writing from the industries shittiest news source.

life is unfair. if someone is using your servers to do illegal shit with... then they become evidence and certainly shouldn't be accessed or modified.


one would think it would be obvious that they took certain servers for a reason, being that they only took a fraction of the servers in the datacenter.

Looks like we people in the U.S. need to find a real free country to host their sites.

The question is if the data center ignored/knew about it - or not. If the ones you're doing legal business with, are doing illegal business themself and hurt you, its time to move on. And maybe sue them.

well that will explain WHY this happened then :Oh crap

Yeah well I wonder if any of those were shared servers.... 220 servers is a SHITLOAD of equipment. :2 cents:

And not a number they decided to take on the day, this would of needed some vans and they would of had to plan it before hand.

So the question is who was on the list, anyone know of any sites going down?

Could of been sites that were scamming.
