        Hot FLASHES are exploding the Warez Scene  !

             BUSTED - UNLAWFUL ENTRY BBS
                      KILLERETE - Courier
                      PHONESTUD - Courier

          OFFLINE- MIRAGE BBS - pulled his own plug for safety

        ( All the following information has been confirmed
          by voice checks with the sysop of UE, MIRAGE and AKIRA )


        Unlawful Entry is confirmed to have been busted by
        the Secret Service.  Also busted during a series of 
        raids was KILLERETE AND PHONESTUD - two powerful
        CC pumping couriers of the elitest order who appear
        to have joined forces with the FEDS after their bust
        to get a reduced punishment.
  
        More raids are expected - any high profile elite system
        that had KILLERETTE or PHONESTUD as members is at risk.

        Information received is that the US Secret Service
        raided UE and seized all equipment.  The sysop is
        reported to be mighty pissed off and wants to fight
        the charges of phone fraud that have yet to be laid
        against him. More info about charges will be released
        as soon as the feds lay dah charges.
 
        Information is that Killerete and Phonestud were busted
        first and ratted on UE to try to lighten the potential
        jail and fines they faced.  This information has been
        confirmed by the UE sysop and all sysops are warned
        to nuke KILLERETE and PHONESTUD accounts on their boards
        as these two are now helping the Secret Service to get
        a lighter sentence.
 
        As a safety precaution MIRAGE has gone offline - this
        kind of heat is just a little too hot even for Mirage
        ( and we all know that Mirage does not go down just
          for the hell of it - this is serious shit happening)

        All Toronto boards have been put on alert to expect
        more raids following these phone bust.  This news
        comes hot on the trail of the sudden death of three
        of the top 416/905 PBX's which mysteriously died in
        the last week.   Word is that already a number of
        416/905 users have received phone calls from the 
        owners of the PBX's and in some cases 1-800's and
        been advised that their information has been turned
        over to the police.
