obvious jokes (with clues hidden in the page's source) and others really
don't have any proof one way or another. We'll take their word for it. |

NEW MITNICK EVIDENCE REVEALS CORPORATE FRAUD
2600 has obtained the letters sent to the FBI that were used to help
calculate "damages" caused by Kevin Mitnick. The following letters can
be thought of as the main reasons why Kevin was able to be held without
bail for so long and will no doubt be used at his sentencing on June 14
to impose more harsh conditions. |

GOVERNMENT FURIOUS OVER PUBLICATION OF LETTERS
2600 has just learned of some extremely important and rather shocking developments in the Kevin Mitnick case. It seems our little disclosure of the documents detailing the "loss" Kevin was responsible for have really gotten the government pissed off. |

FEDS RAID ELECTRONIC HOBBY VENDORS
2600 has learned that several small electronic hobbyist vendors were recently raided by federal
agents brandishing semiautomatic weapons. News of these raids has been
kept out of the media and many of those involved fear retribution if
they openly discuss the case. Until now, these companies had
operated for years selling harmless educational electronic kits (like
wireless microphones) to students, hobbyists, ham radio operators, and
hackers. Now their inventories are being seized at gunpoint--and their
owners could be facing bankruptcy and prison time. |
