DOH! wow, hes dead meat. lol
Are you talking about Venom-hosting or me?
Im not in the States nor am I in trouble, the victim believes me and he told Paypal that it was not my fault as well. So Paypal is only going for Venom-Hosting now.
I thought nobody knew except for moose :biggrin2:
I haven't really been following this thread, but I do have a comment on this last post. The way I understand it, a person only has to comply with the laws of their own country (or the country they are in at the time of the questionable action). For example, if someone in a country with little to no ties with America breaches a US law on foreign soil they can't do anything about it unless they have some sort of agreement with the foreign government. Obviously they couldn't travel to the US again, but unless they are involved in terrorism, I doubt anyone would have the time or energy to hunt down a teenaged scam artist in a different country.

No, Trust me, being raised by two Federal Agents, (in this exact industry of finance) and doing 5 years myself with the same Treasury Dept... if this was a larger sum of money in question... we'd go to Timbuktu, to pick him up, put on trial, and then request the home country to handle it on their own.
Fortunately it's only 300 dollars and not 3 Million. But yes, absolutely, on a larger scale, it's a bad situation. I'm saying this with two parents at 35 years experience and my 5 years.
Mental Note: Paypal, the hosting companies in question, and the victim, most likely reside in the US, which puts it, in theory on US Soil... just because the typing behind the keyboard happened in another country.... the crime committed, was committed in the US. Welcome to Computer Crimes (Which we now have our own separate FBI Division for) and International Treasury Crimes which the IRS would work with the FBI to investigate and resolve... The last two groups of people you'd EVER want looking at you.

VisionaryHost don't worry man, nothing will happen to you. If he does try to do anything or paypal does, tell them the truth record all this chat and that message you have saved. This way, you have proof. And he doesn't eh? + I doubt that paypal will sue you for somthin this silly, if he did it to hundreds of people and took lots of money, then its somthing to be worried about and nothing should happen.
Don't be worried mate
