Everything in this article comes from what I have heard second hand,
|
|||
|
|
and thus it cannot be totally 100% correct, however this article is the
|
|||
|
|
about the most error-free story at the present moment. More facts may come up
|
|||
|
|
later and I encourage them to be written in at the end of the file.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First off I'll give ya the main people involved and affected in this bust...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
MAGNUS GREEL- Sysop Fone Conspiracy I
|
|||
|
|
THE TYRANT- Sysop Fone Conspiracy II
|
|||
|
|
THE FEDZ- The evil driving force in this story
|
|||
|
|
THE BOSS- The H0M0sexual ass-kissing man at ONTRACK SYSTEMS
|
|||
|
|
VECTOR_ONE- The AIDS infected asshole who ratted on Magnus
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The whole thing started one day when Magnus got a new user by the name of
|
|||
|
|
Vector_One. Magnus gave him access and Vector looked at the utilties. Well
|
|||
|
|
it so happens that Vector was a software writer for ONTRACK SYSTEMS or
|
|||
|
|
something. Well it so happens that Magnus had DISK MANAGER that was written
|
|||
|
|
by ONTRACK SYSTEMS. Well Vector told Magnus to take that ware down! Becuz it
|
|||
|
|
was his companies ware. Well as any decent sysop would he told Vector to suck
|
|||
|
|
wally. So Vector told his boss that Magnus had their software online. Well
|
|||
|
|
after the boss gave Vector a long blowjob he called the feds & obtained a
|
|||
|
|
search warrant. Time now elapsed, it was now January 04, 1988.
|
|||
|
|
Magnus was working on his fathers database program, when suddenly like a burst
|
|||
|
|
of lightning no other than the county sheriff and the EVIL president of ONTRACK
|
|||
|
|
SYSTEMS & THE FEDZ. Well Magnus told them to hold on while he closed the
|
|||
|
|
database, so he did and he was given his rights. After reading him his rights
|
|||
|
|
the FEDZ made 4 backup copies of his HARDDRIVE and such. Yes, that means that
|
|||
|
|
they have all yer ALIAS's and FONE NUMBERS ( Of Course they were wrong numbers,
|
|||
|
|
right? Let's hope so. ) Well after doing this assorted bullshit they found
|
|||
|
|
OS/2 ( the new operating system from MicroSoft for the PS/2's ) THE FEDZ were
|
|||
|
|
interested in that becuz as always on a pirate board it was not out yet and
|
|||
|
|
still a beta copy. Well after this assorted bullshit went on for a while
|
|||
|
|
they decided to leave and pay thier respects of shitting on his face. Well
|
|||
|
|
that about did it, except now the feds got a hold of every IBM Pirate board in
|
|||
|
|
the 612 area. Then THE FEDZ went to The Tyrant's house and asked him
|
|||
|
|
miscellaneous bullshit questions, then left him alone. Well by this time the
|
|||
|
|
word has gotten out to the rest of the IBM boards, and holy shit you do not
|
|||
|
|
know how slow it takes to format a HD. I swear it took 10 hours, but really it
|
|||
|
|
only took 30 mins. but hell time goes slowly when you have a load in your
|
|||
|
|
pants. Well now that everyone has cleaned thier computer and thier pants of
|
|||
|
|
shit everything is down, and not expected to be up for PIRATE downloads for a
|
|||
|
|
LONG WHILE. I suspect at this moment THE FEDZ are monitoring every sysop line
|
|||
|
|
here in 612, so at the moment my phreaking career is at a standstill. With an
|
|||
|
|
exception of FORTRESS FONES. Well that's my story and I hope that this has
|
|||
|
|
enlighted you, just remember you can never trust anyone in this world get as
|
|||
|
|
many references as possible and hopefully you won't have to go through what
|
|||
|
|
Mags did. If your under 18 and have a 100 megger and are willing to be a c00l
|
|||
|
|
sysop then hell do it... See ya in Hell,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Personal note: Qualified users will be notified of their contined existance.
|
|||
|
|
Whatever that means...

To repeat, the persons involved are:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
DICK WALDIE - FBI Special agent in charge of the bust
|
|||
|
|
MAGNUS GREEL - Sysop Fone Conspiracy I
|
|||
|
|
THE APTOLCATER - Oh just sorta along for the ride.
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
ONTRACK SYSTEMS
|
|||
|
|
THE BOYZ - [Feds] Consisted of three men and a female. The evil driving
|
|||
|
|
force in this story
|
|||
|
|
THE SHERIFF - Has really nothing to do with the story.
|
|||
|
|
U. N. OWEN - Sysop Fone Conspiracy II
|
|||
|
|
UNNAMED - The person who ratted to Mike Rodgers about FCP..
|
|||
|
|
We have your name and number..
|
|||
|
|
VECTOR_ONE - Maybe The AIDS infected asshole who ratted on Magnus
|
|||
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
First off, I'd like to say that Vector_One may or may not be the culprit for
|
|||
|
|
turning me in to his boss who in turn turned the Boyz on me.. Let me relate
|
|||
|
|
the correct story..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It's January 11, 1988 at 7:15 in the morning, and I'm in the bathroom getting
|
|||
|
|
ready for school.. Dad goes outside to start the car warming up when all of a
|
|||
|
|
sudden, two cars swoop in and block the end of the driveway. Richard [DICK]
|
|||
|
|
Waldie leaps out of the car and asks Dad, "Are you Mr. Clifford K.?" Of
|
|||
|
|
course he replied yes.. Dick told him to "Assemble your family in the living
|
|||
|
|
room." At that point, my mom comes in the bathroom and states "The FBI is
|
|||
|
|
here." [Quivery voice].. So my sister, myself, mom and dad all go sit in the
|
|||
|
|
downstairs family room.. Then Dick talked to mom and dad for about 45 minutes
|
|||
|
|
while I was sitting downstairs just looking at four feds.. Then it was my turn
|
|||
|
|
to talk to Dick and some other dude that just sat their and nodded his head..
|
|||
|
|
We chatted about how the board started, if I had received any donations, and
|
|||
|
|
in particular where I had received OS/2.. Also the common do you phreak-hack-
|
|||
|
|
card questions.. And so on and so forth.. At this point, they were ready to
|
|||
|
|
go down and disassemble the computer.. My dad is a bowling league secretary,
|
|||
|
|
and had all his bowling records in the computer.. For some reason, they let
|
|||
|
|
us copy them off onto a floppy.. Oh well.. After that, I started disassembling
|
|||
|
|
the computer stuff for them.. He was sorta perterbed when he found about 25
|
|||
|
|
5 digit numbers [that sorta look like MCI codes] on a scratch sheet.. But
|
|||
|
|
other than that, nothing really incriminating.. After they had everything
|
|||
|
|
packed up, they carried the boxes out to the car and left.. Now the time was
|
|||
|
|
11:15, and I figured U. N. Owen should know, so I grabbed the car and flew
|
|||
|
|
to school.. Needless to say, he was clean about 45 minutes after he got home
|
|||
|
|
from school.. Aptolcater finds out later that night, and cleans up also.. A
|
|||
|
|
little note, Aptolcater had borrowed me an ATI EGA wonder and a Hayes 2400
|
|||
|
|
External modem for testing two-node FCP.. I hope we get them back..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That basically covers the story.. About noon, my dad called our real estate
|
|||
|
|
attourney, who related us to a criminal attourney in his office.. That guy
|
|||
|
|
was only familiar with state cases, not federal, so he passed us on to another
|
|||
|
|
dude.. Then about two days after the bust, Dick calls and sorta tries to get
|
|||
|
|
my dad perterbed by telling him "Your son is much more involved than what he
|
|||
|
|
has told us.. Such as carding, phreaking, hacking, etc.." [Scare tactics]..
|
|||
|
|
Then he says "We would like to talk to you and your son as soon as possible.."
|
|||
|
|
And when dad mentioned that we had an appointment to talk to a new attourney,
|
|||
|
|
Dick said "Well I guess we will change our strategy.." Heh.. Since then, we
|
|||
|
|
have talked to the attourney a couple times.. He has talked to the assistant
|
|||
|
|
attourney general of the state of Minnesota and Dick Waldie.. From what he's
|
|||
|
|
said, Dick Waldie thinks he has his hands on a master criminal.. He said that
|
|||
|
|
Dick started talking about some different types of conspiracies that I may
|
|||
|
|
have been involved in, and the attourney just rolled his eyes.. Heh.. He said
|
|||
|
|
that the asst. attourney general was a rather nice person.. So we'll see what
|
|||
|
|
goes down.. Another note, I was asked what information I could provide to get
|
|||
|
|
myself out a little bit.. Which means Infoforms, and "uploaded by" records..
|
|||
|
|
They appear not to have found them.. [You will see why in U. N. Owen's note..]
|
|||
|
|
Well whatever, I trust this enlightens many of you, and if you wish to talk,
|
|||
|
|
I do keep my 612/636-9046 line free for Voice updates.. If you see my accounts
|
|||
|
|
anywhere, please remove them or ask for them to be removed.. And a slight note
|
|||
|
|
for those of you waiting for FCP/Emulex 3.0, we may change names, and move on
|
|||
|
|
to Microsoft C, but it will still look the same.. Definitely faster, and
|
|||
|
|
should help people who wish to run two nodes [MSC allows overlaying.. We were
|
|||
|
|
thinking maybe a 32k window would be nice..].. I think that wraps everything
|
|||
|
|
up..

Date: 2/15/88

Time: 5:45 pm to 7:35 pm
|
|||

Well after that long haul I'll try to keep this to a short blerp. Needless
|
|||
|
|
to say when Magnus pulled me out of ADVANCED Physics 200 class I was taken
|
|||
|
|
a little off guard. I listened to his 5 minute blerb about the day's events
|
|||
|
|
and just think it was only 11:30. Well I immediately made plans for a quick
|
|||
|
|
return home. Well let's just say I made it home in record time. It's good to
|
|||
|
|
have teachers that are real friends and know enough not to ask questions when
|
|||
|
|
you tell them you just have to skip their class and go home.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When I got home I really didn't have much to do because I had been weeding out
|
|||
|
|
my hard drive for a while. Mostly it was just formatting my blank floppy box
|
|||
|
|
(which is what takes forever), and running compress on the hard drive with
|
|||
|
|
the "clear free clusters" action. The rest of the day went uneventful.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The next day I told my parents about Magnus. They took it rather lightly till
|
|||
|
|
I told them chances are they would want to talk to me...hehe. A couple of
|
|||
|
|
days later DICK Waldie calls...I answered the call...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Me) "Hello.."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Him) "This is special agent Richard Waldie of the FBI..."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Me) {Cutting him off} "Yes, I know who you are."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Him) "So you were expecting my call?" <-- From here on maybe not exact
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Me) "Yes."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Him) "We would like to ask you some questions."
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Me) "Sure!" {Thinking he was going to ask them over the fone.}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Him) "When would be a good time for you to come down?" {Down where??}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Me) "What time would be convenient for you?" {Why I said that I dunno.}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(Him) "How bout' right now?"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
{My dad was home from work early so to make a long story short my dad got the
|
|||
|
|
FBI's address and we cruzed on down. It was about 2:30.}
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To make them look good they gave my dad the wrong address so it took us awhile
|
|||
|
|
to find it. Well we found their building and entered. We really didn't say
|
|||
|
|
much after entering the building because I think we both thought they had the
|
|||
|
|
whole building bugged. We took the elevator up to I think the third floor.
|
|||
|
|
Dick's office was down the hall.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
{ During this time I was very impress with security. In other words I saw
|
|||
|
|
none. Only to learn later why this was so. }
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When we got to his office there was this lady behind this thick piece of
|
|||
|
|
glass. Well she kept on working at whatever until we hit the little intercom
|
|||
|
|
button and told her we were here to see Dick Waldie. She paged him and a
|
|||
|
|
short time later (Not too short, I had time to check out all the plaques on
|
|||
|
|
the walls.) I heard this buzzing sound as he opened up the door. We had
|
|||
|
|
formal intro's and went on to bigger and better things.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We all went in this 10 X 10 room with Dick sitting behind the only desk. We
|
|||
|
|
sat in very uncomfortable chairs and waited for this guy that just sat there
|
|||
|
|
and noded his head the whole time. Being the clever dood that I am I left my
|
|||
|
|
wallet in the car. So when he asked me for my drivers license I told him I
|
|||
|
|
didn't have it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then came the questions...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
He asked me the standard stuff (Name, Address, etc.) then he asked me how tall
|
|||
|
|
I was, how much I weighed, and a bunch of real bogus questions.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I told him I was getting tired and asked if we could get on to the real
|
|||
|
|
questions. He said that was a good idea and promptly pulled out a big yellow
|
|||
|
|
pad to take notes on. I was kinda thrown off guard (I didn't show it tho.)
|
|||
|
|
because I forgot to bring mine.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Alot of the questions were just standard phreak-hack-card-pirate questions
|
|||
|
|
to which I told him I don't do that stuff.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Since I was in psychology class I knew this dood was Psychotic. With
|
|||
|
|
dillusions of grandeur, total lack of contact with reality, and many other
|
|||
|
|
symptoms. This was very evident in his examples he used for let's say carding.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"You see, (talking to my dad who seems to be falling asleep from the bogus
|
|||
|
|
questions from above..) let's say a lady get's mugged in Chicago, the
|
|||
|
|
perpetrator grabs (could have been take) her credit cards and post it on a
|
|||
|
|
bulletin board system. Someone downloads that message and commits a crime
|
|||
|
|
with the information. A number of crimes have been commited.." and he goes
|
|||
|
|
on to rattle off some laws and some other junk that I didn't hear because I
|
|||
|
|
was looking around the room for some hidden camera.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The questions were real dumb like what back up program Magnus was using.
|
|||
|
|
I guess they had a little trouble figuring out that one sector per track
|
|||
|
|
compressed data needs to be restored using the same program.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You know they didn't know much when they made a big deal about telling me
|
|||
|
|
Mag's had his two hard drives linked together with V-feature.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then they wanted to know about the board. They asked if there was anyway to
|
|||
|
|
list all users and their passwords. I just sat there. Then Dick has the
|
|||
|
|
nerve to say "We know how to use the percent command!" Well after a comment
|
|||
|
|
like that I just crumbled under the pressure they put on. I just had to tell
|
|||
|
|
them they had to user edit everyone to find out their password. Oh, I think
|
|||
|
|
it was here they asked about the who upload what file bit. I told them they
|
|||
|
|
had to download every file to see who upload it. I'm sorry...I just had to
|
|||
|
|
tell them the truth after they couldn't follow the "Hit question mark for
|
|||
|
|
help." comment I threw at them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
One thing that really sticks in my mind tho is at the end he is telling me
|
|||
|
|
I'm responsible for what was on the board because I had co-sysop access.
|
|||
|
|
This is where my dad woke up and said some comment about "Just because you
|
|||
|
|
know drug deals are going on downtown does not make you responsible for them."
|
|||
|
|
Then he drops his 50-50 blaim for a 90-10 ratio. I still just laught at this
|
|||
|
|
idea.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Overall I think I stayed on Dick's good side cause' at the end he said
|
|||
|
|
something about telling the attorney general that I willingly came in and
|
|||
|
|
answered some questions and generaly was a good boy. Overall it took only
|
|||
|
|
two hours...it could have went on a bit longer but it was five o'clock and
|
|||
|
|
I'm sure they wanted to go home.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
His leaving comment was "We'll be speaking to you again." so I'm still
|
|||
|
|
waiting for his next call. Oh, one last thing...I GOT a business card that
|
|||
|
|
has his name on it. If you would like a copy of it you can send me one
|
|||
|
|
dollar to cover copying and postage expenses.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Ops that was more than a blerp.

Oh God, not another few paragraphs..
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
According to general rumor, and a supposed inside source at the FBI, my
|
|||

computer is in Washington state being analyzed for something.. I have also
|
|||
|
|
heard that this is the first in a series of nation-wide busts [starting with
|
|||
|
|
Minnesota for some reason] of pirate BBS's.. This bust was supposed to be a
|
|||
|
|
test-case to see if it was worth-while to go after every pirate board.. Who
|
|||
|
|
knows.. I have also heard that there was a local meeting with MCI, some
|
|||
|
|
Microsoft reps, and the Boyz.. No news of the outcome as of yet.. Oh well, not
|
|||
|
|
too much else along the lines of gossip.. There were a pair of busts in the
|
|||
|
|
Chicago area of First National Bank and another board, of which are of no
|
|||
|
|
relation to me [I think.. Who were the Sysops?] Oh well.. Any other
|
|||
|
|
information can be left on Playdo Land in feedback to the Sysop, in E-Mail to
|
|||
|
|
myself, or to U. N. Owen..
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Well whatever.. I suppose I am out of the LD calling forever [says the parents
|
|||
|
|
and I agree.. There's always PCP..] But FCP will go on.. I want to keep FCP
|
|||
|
|
going, and possibly market it later on.. And/or develop multiuser systems for
|
|||
|
|
big business.. [Dream possibly..] Well as I stated before, I will keep my
|
|||
|
|
line at 612 636 9046 free for voice communications, questions on FCP or
|
|||
|
|
anything, etc.. Hopefully this thing will blow over soon and I will be back
|
|||
|
|
in business [programming business, that is..] Heh.. Whatever..

P.S. Just a quick word to Falken and the sysop of The Hotel, when I was being
|
|||
|
|
questioned they asked me what boards I was on. When I mentioned
|
|||
|
|
Alliance // Dick got all excited and started stating "Alliance! Your on
|
|||
|
|
Alliance!?" Well needless to say I made the deaf man hear. "I said
|
|||
|
|
Alliance //!!!" Well take that at what you will. And after that he
|
|||
|
|
asked me several times (Just like a broken record) if I was on the
|
|||
|
|
Hotel. So...I guess I'll have to find out just what's so good about it.
