Due to the large articles in various papers, I decided it would be best to
condense them into one listing, of what happened, who was involved, and
all..  I did notice some descrepencies in what was seized by various
papers, so I am only going to include the highest ammount..

Those arrested so far:
Chillin         Richard Lacap of Katy, TX
LED             Kevin Watkins of Houston, TX
Alpha Bits      Jeremy Chshing of Hungtington Beach, CA
Mmind           Frank Natoli of Brooklyn, NY
Cellfone        Al Bradford of Detroit, MI
Barcode         Michael Clarkson of Brooklyn, NY

Charges:
The charges include conspiring to break into computer systems, trafficking
in cloned cellular telephone equipment, and possessing and traffiicking in
hardware used to obtain unauthorized access to telecommunacations services.


Potential penalties (ie maximum sentances):
Chillin faces upto 5 years in federal prison and $250,000 in fines

{the $250,000 is alledgly twice the value of the property they obtained by the
 crime}



What was seized:

14 DDI units
6 cell fones



Various quotes that may be revalant:
  Authoritites said they identified suspects from as far away as California
and Alaska, as well as Michigan, Texas and Virginia.

  Although Cavicchia said all those charged were young adults, he noted that
some juveniles were identified in the undercover probe as well

  As it turned out, Colgary said he believes the operation netted "a number
of the major players" in the industry.

  Last January, a Secret Service special agent, Stacey Bauerschmidt, using
the computer nickname Carder One, established a computer bulletin board that
she called Celco 51.
-=NY Times=-

  It is relatively easy to put together a private computer bulletin board,
requiring only a computer, a modem, phone lines and communications software.
Special Agent Bauerschmidt was assisted by an informer with experience as a
computer hacker, officials said. The equipment and phone line for the scheme
were located in a Bergen County, N.J., apartment building.

  The six men arrested have initial court apearances scheduled for Sept. 19
before U.S. magistrate Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh in Federal Court in Newark.
-=NJ Daily record=-

  Peter A. Cavicchia II, special agent in charge of the secret service in
New Jersey, said agents are still searching computer files seized by the
raids, but estimated that they can contain upto 1 million "compromised"
telephone or credit card numbers.

  I cant seem to find it now, but I thought that I read that more arrests are
expected.  The 800 number was most likely legal, and they did that to make
it easier to get ani records.
