*--* 4/14/94 - 12:32:22 AM *--* A RUMOR CONTROL !!!! POSSIBLE BUST WARNING!!!! I do not know if this is is a fake or not..I have not confimed this in any way shape or form. I was informed by phone call from one of my Member board syops. he was just telling me about the post that just came up on his side To make it short. Zartan Sysops of 22 Acacia Ave Might have had his board busted. the following message indicates that it might have. I can neither confirm this nor deny it. I called voice to see if it was true and I can not get a hold of him at 1 AM on the 14th of April.. And he is a night owl like myself and I have called him many times before at this time and had chats with him. And to make the matters worse the board number is disconnected with no fowarding number. I drove to his house and the lights are not on and their are no cars around the house. For safety sake I suggest a lock out of his account until further notice He calls many locals around here and he also calls many LD areas. Inculding Alpha 2010, Assassin's guild, Snake's Place and many more. He is tied into Cyber Crime Networks so there are a lot of boards that could be in jeopardy I will try and find out what is happening and I will let everyone know if this is true or not. LOCK Out ZARTAN For safety sake for now.

Replies: 2Stat: Sent Origin : Local This is not a joke! Please don't treat it as one!! If any of you Pirate warez in 909 you MUST listen to this. This is the low down. I guess as of this morning Zartan was busted by the feds. I know, most of are more than happy to hear that. Welp, when I called one of my boards, I was reading feedback. Zartan threaten to take the sysop and the board down ( who's name I'm not going to mention). This is a warning, I believe Zartan at his word, he will narc, bring down whoever he can to save his own ass. I know some of you may think I'm overreacting to this, but I'm the number one uploaded on most of the boards Zartan is on, I have no doubt that he will narc on me. This email was sent to a local sysop. Typical That Zartan would fuck over everyone in the end. Ask you're self this 909, who's next!

If you know of any information about his location/work/ anything, please send me email. I am not taking any responiblity for whatever happens to him, but he needs to be "silenced". --- Renegade v1-2 Exp * Origin: Western Front (99:10/3)
