Outstanding! The long arm of the law catches up to another lame loser ie: bot_master. I am very happy to see that the American government is taking cyber-crime seriously. Wonder if our soon to be jailed bot_master heard the joke about the guy in prison being asked if he wants to be the man or the wife :o
