Interesting link, Agent Needinfo. (Sorry, I couldn't resist). If the info in the DOJ link is accurate, these guys were just begging for it... I wonder how long they expected to last? I guess they probably planned to make a couple of mil and then permanently leave the country... surely they knew they'd eventually get slammed.

I guess you have to hand it to them for trying to buck the system, perhaps they actually believed they'd be able to set a precedent and bring about institutional change.
