>From a DoJ press release 15 December 1998: High-tech crime The G8 countries have established a 24 hour network of law enforcement experts capable of responding swiftly to requests for help with investigations that cross international borders, including hacking cases. The network, which is now in use, is open to wider membership and a number of non G8 countries have already joined. The Lyon Group is pursuing consultations with industry, including internet service providers, on preventing criminal use of networks and ensuring traceability of their communications. It is also developing proposals for a legal framework for retrieving electronic evidence swiftly in cases that cut across international borders.

I visited Anna Holmes' <fogbow(a)sprynet.com> (the moderator of the Married but Lesbian [MarBLes] mailing list) website at http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/fogbow/ and discovered that she's a licensed shrink who lives in Birmingham, AL. Thus, there may be some "deep pockets" in the form of her malpractice insurance, as well as the hosts of the mailing list itself, queernet.org. I'm not sure what sort of other action is possible, but I'm sure if Holmes were "supporting" the defrauding of African Americans rather than married men, Jesse Jackson would figure out a way to bring some pressure to bear against her and those aiding and abetting her clandestine activities.

From: sbaker(a)steptoe.com Dave, I am sending you part of a note we sent to our clients a week or two ago. I haven't seen it in the press yet, but after it shows up in IP, the NY Times will be more or less irrelevant. Stewart From: Stewart Baker (sbaker(a)steptoe.com) Elizabeth Banker (ebanker(a)steptoe.com) The press would have you believe that it was Larry Flynt and his million-dollar tales of infidelity that caused the unexpected change in House leadership this month, but encryption policy buffs -- paranoid by nature and proud of it -- are beginning to focus on another suspect, one with more to gain. That's because it is the Federal Bureau of Investigation that looks like the biggest winner now that Robert Livingston has been replaced by Dennis Hastert as odds-on favorite to be Speaker of the House of Representatives. Livingston supported the industry's version of SAFE, the crypto decontrol bill that died in Congress last session. In contrast, J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) has shown strong solidarity with the FBI on encryption issues as a member of the House Commerce Committee. Indeed, Hastert supported the Oxley-Manton Amendment that would have turned the SAFE Act of 1997 (H. R. 695) into a mandate for domestic regulation of encryption. And when Oxley-Manton was rejected by the Committee in favor of the Markey-White Amendment, Hastert voted against the SAFE Act. ..

Re: Our answer to your request

Thank you for your interest in our training Course. Success Courses offers an extensive Video Tape training course in "How to Collect Judicial Judgments". If you are like many people, you are not even sure what a Judicial Judgment is and why processing Judicial Judgments can earn you very substantial income. If you ever sue a company or a person and you win then you will have a Judicial Judgment against them. You are happy you won but you will soon find out the shocking fact: "Its now up to you to collect on the Judgment". The court does not require the loser to pay you. The court will not even help you. You must trace the loser down, find their assets, their employment, bank accounts, real estate, stocks and bonds, etc. Very few people know how to find these assets or what to do when they are found. The result is that millions of Judgments are just sitting in files and being forgotten. "In 79% of the cases the winner of a Judgment never sees a dime." The non-payment of judicial debt has grown to epidemic proportions. Right now in the United States there is between 200 and 300 billion dollars of uncollected Judicial Judgment debt. For every Judgment that is paid, 5 more Judgments take its place. We identified this massive market 4 years ago and have actively pursued Judicial Judgments since. We invented this business. We have perfected it into a well proven and solid profession in which only a select few will be trained in the techniques necessary to succeed in this profession. With our first hand experience we have built a course which teaches you how to start your business in this new unknown and exciting field of processing Judicial Judgments. By following the steps laid out in our course and with reasonable effort you can become very successful in the processing of Judicial Judgments. The income potential is substantial in this profession. We have associates who have taken our course and are now working full time making $96,000.00 to over $200,000.00 per year. Part time associates are earning between $24,000.00 and $100,000.00 per year. Some choose to operate out of their home and work by themselves. Others build a sizable organization of 15 to 25 people in attractive business offices. Today Success Courses and our associates have over 632 million dollars in Judicial Judgments that we are currently processing. Of this 632 million, 36 million is in the form of joint ventures between our firm and our associates. Joint ventures are where we make our money. We only break even when our course is purchased. We make a 12% margin on the reports we supply to our associates. Our reporting capability is so extensive that government agencies, police officers, attorneys, credit agencies etc. all come to us for reports. Many of our associates already have real estate liens in force of between 5 million to over 15 million dollars. Legally this means that when the properties are sold or refinanced our associate must be paid off. The norm is 10% interest compounded annually on unpaid Judicial Judgments. Annual interest on 5 million at 10% translates to $500,000.00 annually in interest income, not counting the payment of the principle. Our associates earn half of this amount or $250,000.00 per year. This is just for interest, not counting principle and not counting the compounding of the interest which can add substantial additional income. Typically companies are sold for 10 times earnings. Just based on simple interest an associate with 5 million in real estate liens could sell their business for approximately 2.5 million dollars. 92% of all of our associates work out of their home; 43% are women and 36% are part time. One of the benefits of working in this field is that you are not under any kind of time frame. If you decide to take off for a month on vacation then go. The Judgments you are working on will be there when you return. The Judgments are still in force, they do not disappear. The way we train you is non-confrontational. You use your computer and telephone to do most of the processing. You never confront the debtor. The debtor doesn't know who you are. You are not a collection agency. Simply stated the steps to successful Judicial Processing are as follows: · Mail our recommended letter to companies and individuals with Judicial Judgments. (We train you how to find out who to write to) · 8% to 11% of the firms and people you write will call you and ask for your help. They call you, you don't call them unless you want to. · You send them an agreement (supplied in the course) to sign which splits every dollar you collect 50% to you and 50% to them. This applies no matter if the judgment is for $2,000.00 or $2,000,000.00. · You then go on-line to our computers to find the debtor and their assets. We offer over 120 powerful reports to assist you. They range from credit reports from all three credit bureaus, to bank account locates, employment locates, skip traces and locating stocks and bonds, etc. The prices of our reports are very low. Typically 1/2 to 1/3 of what other firms charge. For example we charge $6.00 for an individuals credit report when some other companies charge $25.00. · Once you find the debtor and their assets you file garnishments and liens on the assets you have located. (Standard fill in the blanks forms are included in the course) · When you receive the assets you keep 50% and send 50% to the original Judgment holder. · Once the Judgment is fully paid you mail a Satisfaction of Judgment to the court. (Included in the course) Quote's from several of our students: Thomas in area code 516 writes us: "I just wanted to drop you a short note thanking you for your excellent course. My first week, part time, will net me 3,700.00 dollars. Your professionalism in both the manual and the video opened doors for me in the future. There's no stopping me now. As of February 3rd, 1995, Thomas states he has over $8,500,000 worth of judgments he is working on. After only having this course for four months, Larry S. in area code 314 stated to us: "I am now making $2,000.00 per week and expect this to grow to twice this amount within the next year. I am having a ball. I have over $250,000 in judgments I am collecting on now." After having our course for 7 months Larry S. in 314 stated "I am now making $12,000.00 per month and have approximately $500,000.00 in judgments I am collecting on. Looks like I will have to hire someone to help out" Marshal in area code 407 states to us "I feel bad, you only charged me $189.00 for this course and it is a gold mine. I have added 3 full time people to help me after only having your course for 5 months" >From the above information and actual results you can see why we can state the following: With our course you can own your own successful business. A business which earns you substantial income now and one which could be sold in 3-5 years, paying you enough to retire on and travel the world. A business which is extremely interesting to be in. A Business in which every day is new and exciting. None of your days will be hum drum. Your brain is challenged. A business which protects you from Corporate downsizing. A business which you can start part time from your home and later, if you so desire, you can work in full time. A business which is your ticket to freedom from others telling you what to do. A business which lets you control your own destiny. Our training has made this happen for many others already. Make it happen for you! If the above sounds interesting to you then its time for you to talk to a real live human being, no cost or obligation on your part. Please call us at 1-500-488-2035. We have Customer Support staff available to you from 7:00AM to 7:00PM (Pacific Time) Monday through Saturday. Closed Sunday. If you call this number you can talk to one of our experienced Customer Support personnel. They can answer any questions you may have - with no obligation. Sometimes we run special pricing on our courses and combinations of courses. When you call our Customer Support line they can let you know of any specials we may be running. If you like what you read and hear about our courses, then the Customer Support person can work with you to place your order. We are very low key. We merely give you the facts and you can then decide if you want to work with us or not.

He's investing quite a lot of his own funds in this particular little enterprise of his. He's apparently quite pissed off that this one leaked before he was able to use the content himself. (after all, as a publisher, the reason you develop content is to use it in print yourself primarily). A more interesting question is how the White House found out about the material a few days before it came out. (which apparently is how Roll Call which ran the story first got ahold of it). There have been persistent rumors of a White House controlled black operation to uh, bring pressure upon, certain people that are in positions to embarrass the President. Apparently at least some of this sort of activity has gone on for a long time, perhaps since the President was in Arkansas. Whether the FBI would be involved in *that* is an interesting question. Somehow I doubt it, because the risk of public exposure in that situation would be enormous, and there was already an FBI-related scandal early in this administration. Also the Administrator over there is regarded as somewhat of a loose cannon by the folks in the White House. So I kind of suspect the FBI would not be involved in White House led black ops. And I doubt the military would be involved either (given this President's relations with them.) So the reports of private detectives and other non-government people spearheading this squares with what would be rationally expected. I think the FBI may merely have either just gotten lucky and dodged a bullet on this one, -or- they had a deeper cover role in passing the stuff to Flint's people (undoubtably private individuals, so evidence, if it existed in FBI files, could've been fed to someone on the "outside"). Given that no one knew that Livingston was going to be in the position he was in till several days *after* the election, that's reasonably quick response if that is really what happened. Don't believe everything you read in the papers... Cheers, -jcp- -- Joseph C. Pistritto +1 415 706 7270 Belmont, California jcp(a)jcphome.com

Nicholson Knight Ridder Newspapers NEW YORK -- In a stark demonstration of the global scale of the Year 2000 computer problem, representatives of 130 nations gathered at the United Nations Friday to hammer out plans for dealing with Y2K. The ideas included setting up national and international "SWAT teams" to handle crises caused by the computer glitch. The U.N. conference marked the first such gathering of Y2K coordinators from several nations, including many developing countries that lag far behind the United States in remediation efforts. Y2K refers to a programming glitch that will cause some computers, softwar= e programs and microprocessors to interpret the abbreviated date 00 as 1900 rather than 2000. The result could be incorrect data processing and equipment malfunctions. "We all know that we are competing in a race against time," said Pakistani ambassador Ahmad Kamal, who hosted the conference. "Despite all the effort= s and committed work of individuals and institutions, we are far from the objective of ensuring Y2K compliance by the inflexible deadline of Dec. 31= , 1999." Fixing Y2K problems is a daunting task that involves rewriting computer codes and potentially replacing billions of microchips. U.N. Undersecretary-general Joseph E. Connor called Y2K the largest computer project in the 50-year history of the information-technology industry, but said predicting its effects accurately was impossible. He said the global cost of fixing Y2K problems could reach as high as $600 billion with an additional $1.4 trillion going for litigation. "There's no way to draw on past experience and predict what is going to fail and what consequences these failures will have," Connor said. "All we know for sure is the timing." He said nations should attack Y2K on two fronts: by deciding which systems are critical and fixing them first, and by developing contingency plans fo= r coping with computer failures. "We have to get used to the fact that some systems and facilities will not be addressed," Connor said. Delegates spent most of the day in closed-door sessions to discuss Y2K problems affecting specific industries and regions and released few detail= s of those meetings. One goal was to organize on a regional basis, including implementing the SWAT-team idea. Kamal told reporters that such teams woul= d help nations deal with problems that cross borders, such as regional power grid failures. "You cannot stop at the political border of a country," he said.
