Again, what I said was my lawyer called and said it was illegal to sell fake passports in Anguilla. The fraud was taxbomber saying he never sold fake passports in his post to the net of "feel sorry for me my ISP made me relocate even though I never sold fake passports".
He never sold fake passports. If his passports had been marked "United States of America" or some such they would indeed be fake. They were not fake. Who says that only generally recognized governments of major nations are entitled to issue passports?
a) what he was offering actually violated Anguillan law (was there a determination that selling camouflage passports violates a specific statute?)
My lawyer, probably the top lawyer in the country, said it is illegal in Anguilla. I don't have a copy of that law.
You should. The fact that you do not indicates alarming willingness to bend over, which is inconsistent with the way you represent your service in your ad. Amend the ad, or employ more spine. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

Websters defines fake with "to treat so as to falsify", "pretend", "simulate", "imitation", "impostor", "sham", "faud", and "counterfeit". The passports fit most of these definitions. A word applies if any of the definitions work. If the passports had been marked "US of A" they would have been "counterfeit". I did not say they were counterfeit (he clearly would not be permitted to sell counterfeit passports). So his passports are not "counterfeit", but they are "fake". -- Vince ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vincent Cate vince@offshore.com.ai http://www.offshore.com.ai/vince/ Offshore Information Services http://www.offshore.com.ai/
I'm confused here. Vince runs a system. A user did something Vince's attorney said might be a no-no. Vince pulled the plug. Tim objects. Right? I suggest the cure is a law, to keep Vince from booting people off his system without due process. -- A host is a host from coast to coast.................wb8foz@nrk.com & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433
