A federal indictment was unsealed today charging 36 individuals for their alleged roles in the Infraud Organization, an Internet-based cybercriminal enterprise…

Naming your criminal organization after what you do? Now that's what I call some chutzpah!

[Alas Babylon!]

Still, very good news, and dare I say good work by the Trump DOJ!

These are particularly loathsome criminals. If you’ve ever been ripped off electronically or had your identity stolen, you’d be very happy to hear this news!

[WeWaWes]

Well, good luck with this case. Millions will be spent and years in time and if any of them see more than two or three years in club fed I’ll be shocked.

He can use his new executive order to freeze all their assets.

[VanShuyten]

No one will notice the preponderance of muslims because most news organizations will fail to report it.

Gee, I wonder where that money went?

[100American]

Already done as part of the announcement, he does not have to wait to execute any more than say seizure of cash from a major drug dealer prior to court time

Need more popcorn, these are but the portent of coming attractions

[BradyLS]

John Doe #7 is also-known-as “Muad’Dib.”

That’s a DUNE reference!

“Ahhh...liquor reference. Get the kids in the car!” -Tim Hawkins.

Never mind. ADHD brain today.

[generally]

Maybe they are. Who might those John Does be?

Maybe #1 & #2 are the Podestas? Just a wild guess, but it’s possible.

[KC_Conspirator]

About time Tony Montana was indicted.

[Professional]

Yes!!!! I love hearing these stories. Plague on earth folks...

Now lock up the people behind the Robo Calls for my soon to be expired google listing! (they’ve been telling me that for 5 yrs or more...)

[familyop]

Good work!

[Neoliberalnot]

I’ve had CC numbers stolen and used twice and a fraudulent tax return filed in my name and number that took 2 and a 1/2 years to fix. I hope to see some 20 year prison terms.
