Russian Snared By The FBI Sentenced To 3 Years
Mark Cantrell writes "Vasiliy Gorshkov, one of two Russian crackers who were arrested in November 2000 after the FBI broke into their computer systems were sentenced Friday. Taking pity on Gorshkov's family, they sentenced Gorshkov to 3 years in prison and a fine of nearly $700,000 USD. They also mention how a U.S. judge found that the FBI wasn't breaking any laws in breaking into a Russian computer system, despite the fact that they were breaking a Russian law doing so. So apparently, it's ok for Americans to break Russian law if they're in the U.S., but not ok for Russians to break U.S. law, even while in Russia."
Although you are right, a lot of "true Americans" will mod you down for saying something they don't want to hear.

Well... isn't everyone in the world an American and speaks English too instead of that hard-to-understand Mexican? I mean, Russia's our partner in the War Against Terror!
Karma whorin' since 1999
Gorshkov was convicted a year ago on 20 counts of computer crimes, fraud and conspiracy after being accused of helping Alexey Ivanov steal credit card numbers from U.S. online banks, e-commerce companies and Internet service providers, the U.S. Attorney's office in Seattle said.
Wait, so he ISN'T an innocent victim? Slashdot almost had me confused there for a second. Let's try looking at the big picture, shall we?
Is your browser retarded?
Where are you getting your news from? Slashdot posts? University activists? There is plenty of evidence--listen to the Senate hearings of former UN weapons inspectors--most of them (two come to mind) have a very good handle on the situation and they can attest to the fact that Iraq is in fact a menace. I'm all for letting one last thourough weapons inspector in (Bush also proposed to "give peace a chance," as the song goes), but the claim that there is little or no evidence is plain wrong.

Apparently you've had a public education, American-style. Learn to spell hypocrisy, dumbass.
Indeed. Kyoto, Haag, plenty more...
A, B and C. And lots of them.
I wasn't aware of his? Mexico?
Yes, the poor American Indians.
Sure, Bush-2 is extremely nasty. One of the nastiest so far. But hey, about the "invaded" point... We are talking about the US, yes?
Conclusion: Bush-2 is the most dangerous man in the world today. We must nuke him at the first opportunity.
I choose to remain celibate, like my father and his father before him.
This isn't about me (a troll), this is about you (a dumbass). Don't try to change the subject, dumbass.
I see you have cleverly replied with more misspellings and poor verb conjugation. I am entertaining the idea that your attempt at humor was meant to ridicule me in some way. Unfortunately, you have failed, as is apparently your lot in life. I am neither insulted, nor dismayed. I simply do not care for your opinions on myself or whatever the hell this article was about. I really didn't care enough to read it.
In closing, I wish you the best of luck in your future postings, insipid though they may be. I will now retire to my Fortress of Ineptitude and weep softly for every kitten that you kill with your free-wheeling syntax usage and shameless grammatical rampage.
Shalom!!
