7) I post from the public computers of the Salt Lake City library. On
May 4.2004, I was approached by the Director of this library, Nancy
Tessman and the deputy director, Chip Ward. They told me they, and
their Internet Service Provider (ISP), the Utah Educational Network,
the UEN, received many complaints about my posting on Usenet, and that
despite my right to use the computers and my constitutional right of
free speech. that they might have to deny access to the computers for
me. They told me that these complainants referred to "Usenct managers"
and if Usenet access would not be denied to me that they will put UEN
on a black list which would mean that libraries and schools would be
without cC11ain Internet access. (UEN is the Internet provider for
them.)
8) From postings on NANAE, I found out that Brian Brnns bragged about
this campaign against me to the library and the UEN and thanked his
friends for assistance in the campaign. In the posting of May 3, 2005,
"A quick note about BS and UEN" (BS is defamatory for my name Barbara
Schwarz) Brian Bruns admitted that he posts an abuse report for every
message I post on NANAE and that he filed more abuse reports about me
and UEN than he has ever filed about anybody before. He basically
admitted that he docs not want me to speak. He filed those reports to
deny free speech of minc. It is not about spam or off topic postings
(which is no abuse) but that he does not want me to speak out. (See
exhibit D, a hard copy of this posting attached.)
9) Bruns abused the abuse line by harassing the UEN, and the library
through his campaign. He admitted that he does not fcel sorry that the
SOS listings for the UEN network is growing with his false complaints.
According to my information this kind of behavior violates not just
federal and state civil but also criminal statutes.

12) Brian Bruns posted in same threat on May 3, 2005 the UEN employees
should be "whacked with the clucbat" for allowing me to use the
computers. He defamed me as "nutty", he degraded and insulted the
Freespeechstore to "FreeSpeech Whore" and justified his criminal past
as unimportant.
(See exhibit G, a hardcopy of my letter to library director Nancy
Tessman and UEN director Mike Petersen.)
15) On May 9,2004, John Stillwell, "Viper" indicated in a posting in thc newsgroup
alt.religion.scientology that the library I post from are getting many e-mails with my
name on it and that he is behind that spam campaign.
He also indicated that somebody he knows is working on my pictures and will posting
them to all the sex groups with my name and e-mail address and saying ... CUM meet me
at the Salt Lake City Public Library and we can have fun under the tables! He did not
inform who the friend is, but I noticed on NANAE that he is supportive of Brian Bruns.
(See exhibit J, a hard copy of this posting attached.)

Barbara Schwarz. 335 East Broadway, Apt. 401, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111
I thought about what you said to me during the meeting of May 4, 2004,
and I want to add the following:
1) You, Nancy, told me that the library might ask me in future not
more to use the library computers anymore and asked if I would have
another place to use computers. You know better than anyone, the
library is for everybody, and I would consider it a denial of these
rights as well as a denial of my right to free speech and defend
myself against defamation on the web if I would be denied access to
the library computers.
2) You told me that you would make more research on this matter, and I
want to give you and the UEN a hand. Be informed that I don't like the
UEN and the library in any troubles.
First of all, you should know that the complaints are organized by
Brian Bruns, a convicted felon. Richard Scoville, a respected
businessman from Texas e-mailed you yesterday following information:
============================================================
It has come to my attention that Brian Bruns, aka Ahblorg, SClsdg org,
is attempting to extort/blackmail you into curtailing services to one
or more of your patrons, members, registrants, etc. FSS has been
following the abuse that Mr. Bruns and his GANG have been directing
toward Barbara Schwarz and your organizations! I beseech you to do a
little research into this CONVICTED FELON I Our firm has had its
problems with this known criminal (on probation for computer crimes)
and wishes to share some information with you. He seems to think that
Free Speech is governed by he and his vigilantes, not the First
Amendmentl The egregious wrath that he invokes upon people is far too
copious to recant here, but feel free to leave me a contact phone {J
number at (1) ceo@thefreespeechstore.com or leave the info at
Page 2 of 4
Respectfully,
Richard Scoville
CEO... FSS
===========================================================
Instead of telling me to leave, the library and the UEN should file
criminal charges to the District Attorney, the cyberforce units, and
the FBI, against Brian Bruns and his gang, If you don't, they will
blackmail, extort, harass, spam, and terrorize again the library and
the UEN to boot another patron or they will do it to other
institutions.

/lJe3871b5DaD6339d/f26c4ae2eeaca1 cD?tvc=1&hl=en#f26c4ae2eeaca1 cO.
He replied on May 3, 20.0.5 that Brian Bruns should continue his abuse
of the UEN and that John Stillwell has the UEN's /13 and /15 blocked.
5) Robert Clark also posts with different identities on NANAE and ARS,
I strongly assume that he also is one of the people who spams,
harasses, and blackmails the library and UEN to kick me out. He is a
felon too. He was found guilty to hack into the Los Alamos lab
computers.
11) From postings on NANAE, I found out that Brian Bruns bragged about
this campaign against me to the library and the UEN and thanked his
friends for assistance in that campaign. In the posting of May 3,
2005, "A quick note about BS and UEN" (BS is defamatory for my name
Barbara Schwarz) Brian Bruns admitted that he posts an abuse report
for every message I post on NANAE and that he filed more abuse reports
about me and UEN than he has ever filed about anybody before. He
basically admitted that he does not want me to speak out. He files
those reports to deny any free speech of mine. It is not about spam
but that he does not want me to speak out.
12) He abused the abuse process by harassing the UEN, and the library
through his campaign. He admitted that he does not feel sorry that the
SOS listings for the UEN network is growing with his false complaints.
According to my information this kind of behavior violates criminal
statutes and you might want to consult your attorney.
13) Brian Bruns posted in same threat on May 3, 2005 that the UEN
employees should be "whacked with the cluebat" for allowing me to use
the computers. He defamed me as "nutty",he degraded and insulted the
Freespeechstore to "FreeSpeechWhore" and justified his criminal felon
past as unimportant.
You can read the rest yourself in this and other threats online.
15) I access Usenet via Google. Be informed that Google must have
received at least the same amount of complaints by Brian Bruns and his
gang, but they did not cancel my posting accounts. If I indeed would
Page 4 of 4
"spam" or "abuse" Usenet (which I don't) Google would have been the
first who would have canceled my posting accounts. One needs e-mail
addresses in order to post. I am certain that also my e-mail providers
received these false complaints. They too did not cancel my accounts.
In kind you should have questions, please ask. I recommend you again
to contact Richard Scoville, the CEO of the FSS, because he will
provide you with information about the Brian Brun and his gang that
you can verify through different sources as court, police, district
attorney and probation offices.
Nether the UEN nor the library should allow these cyber punks and
criminals to spam, harass, overwork, blackmail/extort you; they should
not succeed to put the UEN on a black list; you can't allow them to
cut off Internet access for schools and libraries and don't allow them
. .to make you violate the f:onstitution by denying patrons access.

Mr. Troy Jessup, cc. UEN Director Mike Petersen and Nancy
Tessman.
The leader or these group that {-tIed false cOI;'Lplaints t�o UEN and the
library is a convicted felon. (Brian Bruns, Ex- Convict, Felon
Indictment Numbers.I-l�77-02,S -2423-02, SAPO Police Report #
05071019.)
Another one Irlho particpated .in this campaign hacked into Los AlaInos
laboratories. (Robert Clark)
http://www.religiousfreedornwatch.org!extrernists/clark3.html.
J\ third one, \T.iper, (,John Stillwell) admitted thut he forged mer and
also forged my e-mails in my name to the library and likel y to YOll.
These e-mails must be of unlawful and crazy conduct. He calls for
people to do the same on the Internet and pound you and the Library
with false complaints.
S tillwell informed that a friend of his wants to sexually exploit me
on the Internet.
Brian Bruns fri,end (Andrew D.Kirch) posted this threat agaj,nst me:" I
have some friends with the ability to cause her quite a bit of grief.
fT
.
Their methods aren't too kosher and I don't ask too many questions ..
It is also possible that thev contact you under other names and
seTvers to make it look like that many people complain about me.
Brian Bruns admitted that he caused other ISPs already a lot of grier,
as "The Denver Exchange." http: //www.tde.com
What I don't understand is that the UEN does not file charges againt
these men but rather works together with them. The cyber crime units
of law enforcement are the people who should deal with these

Before me, the undersigned authority, personally appeared Richard M. Scoville, who, being by me duly
My name is Richard M. Scoville, I am of sound mind, capable of making this affidavit, and personally
I am the custodian of the records of Freespeechstore.com (FSS). Attached hereto are 70 pages of
records from FSS, 3 8 pages which is a notarized affidavit of Barbara Schwarz, and one FSS CD of server
information These said 1 08 pages and CD of records are kept by Visual Net Design LC ( VND) and/or FSS in
the regular course of business, and it was the regular course of business ofFSS for an employee or representative
of VND, with knowledge of the act, event, condition, opinion, or diagnosis, recorded to make the record or to
transmit information thereof to be included in such record; and the record was made at or near the time or
reasonably soon thereafter. The records attached hereto are the original or exact duplicates of the originaL
Before me, the undersigned authority in and for the State and County aforesaid, on this day personally appeared
Richard M. Scoville, who being by me first duly sworn upon hislher oath deposes and says
My name is Richard M . Scoville and I am 59 years old. I was born on July 1 4, 1 945 and I am employed by
Freespeechstore.com (FSS) located at 1 08 West French Place as the President, where my duties are to oversee
the daily operations of FSS.
I have been employed with this company since approximately November 2000 when I conceived of the business
plan. FSS has been a work in progress since its inception in the year 2000. Approximately, July of 2002, I hired
Visual Net Design LC, (VND) The principals of which are Manuel Oblitas and Javier Oblitas. They are
presently located at 28 12 Thousand Oaks Drive, Suite 1 0 1 , San Antonio, Texas 78232-4 1 08, the physical
location of the server for FSS. The business plan of FSS is stated at our web site, freespeechstore.com, under the
Mission Statement, About Us, and the Terms of Service (TOS). Basically stated . .
"The principals of the Free Speech Store had a vision . . . that there be an all-inclusive database available to the
entire virtual community with easy access and navigation, hence, the Free Speech Store! Presently, you have to
employ a universal search engine which, in many cases, does not have the capability to access databases, remote
sites, non-commercial sites, newsgroups etc. for keyword searches within those databases, sites, etc. Obviously,
this site will develop its own presence and persona as it is utilized by the virtual community. It will grow with
each posting of a new speech. It is your site! With each posting, you will control its growth, its presence, its
destiny, and most importantly, its contenL ALL FREE OF CHARGE (please refer to . . Terms of Service)!
Posting is FREE! The only ·cost assessed is when you wish to retrieve/read a speech. Be sure to read our
Privacy Policy because it, as well as the Site itself, are predicated on anonymity for all, if you so desire.
Remember, all we require is a valid email address to send your password, allowing site privileges!
We highly recommend that you access the FAQ section of this web site prior to navigating the site. This will
help answer any questions without your wasting time through trial and error.
There are 'two payment alternatives to access an entire speech, not just the abstract. As always, POSTING I S
FREE! Take advantage of iLIT IS YOUR VIRTUAL RIGHT ! "
Through the course of trial and error, customer feedback, Internet Service Providers (ISP' s) input, interactive
Internet newsgroup participation, threats from anti-spammers, general discussion with our webmasters, and other
discussions with Internet savvy personnel, FSS has strived to adhere to what is termed as Netiquette, etiquette
governing communication on the Internet, while still maintaining and honoring one's right to Free Speech and the
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and quite frankly, the Virtual Right of Free Speech for
all peoples of the world. As stated previously, FSS is a work in progress and listens to all constructive criticism,
even those which are threatening. Sometimes, we make changes predicated on this input and sometimes we do
not. The ultimate goal is to maintain a web site which offers Free Speech within the boundaries ofthe laws
which govern FSS. FSS had made changes predicated on some, if not all, of the aforementioned input and will
continue to do so if behooves us and the general public and of course, is lawful.
Since approximately, the first quarter 2003, FSS has been attacked, libeled, threatened (to include death threats),
and abused by a group of so-called netcops (thugs, punks) in an Internet newsgroup called news. admin.net
abuse. email (NANAE). its hybrids such as news.admin.net-abuse. sightings (NANAS). news.admin.net
abuse.usenet (NANAU), just to name a few The culprits of these newsgroups are commonly referred to as
"NANAE PUNKS". The very thing which they say they wish to accomplish, Netiquette, is the one trait which
they ignore From these folks, FSS has been the victim of, but not limited to
I. Libel
2. Defamation of Character
3 Threats
a. Death threats
b . Email Blockage through Blocklists, i.e. DSNBL's of FSS emails, as well ass ALL the
customers of its ISP's
c. Physical
4 Harassment
a. Phone calls to ISP's, other Internet providers, etc.
b . Emails to FSS, its webmasters, I SP ' s, Upstream providers, etc
c. U S Postal mails to some of the aforementioned
5 . Restraint of trade
6. Possible Rico Act violations, as well as other Federal Crimes
Two (2) of the most malicious culprits of NANAE are Brian Bruns, a convicted felon for computer crimes, and
his partner in crime, as well as in business, Andrew Kirch. Both men have joined FSS as members and supplied
valid email addresses authorizing FSS to communicate with them. They both are principals of Internet
companies, URL's, etc , which go by the names, but not limited to
I. Ahbl.org
2. Sosdg.org
3. 2mbit.com
I . trelane. net
2. lan.trelane.net
3 . httpJlwww . 2mbit. com/-trchme/
They have been hounding FSS for approximately two (2) years and are the perpetrators of one or more of all the
above and aforementioned crimes. They refer to F S S as the "Freespeechwhore" and defame us constantly in the
aforementioned newsgroups, as well as contact our suppliers periodically and often with threats, defamation,
libel, etc. without notifYing or copying us of any wrongdoing They have crossed the line recently, however, by
threatening our ISP's with major email blockage ifFSS is not disconnected from their service at once. They
have followed through with these threats with ALL ofFSS's ISP's, webmasters, providers, etc., causing our
I S P ' s severe customer service issues and forcing them to discontinue our service. Bruns and Kirch have blocked
complete subnets of these providers to extort, blackmail, etc. them into submission. The majority of the ISP's are
well versed witb the illegal and threatening nature of these criminals and/or ex-cons, but even though sympathetic
to FSS' s plight, must kow10w to the threats and subsequent action taken by these thugs, or lose business. The
smaller companies acquiesce due to the lack of technical and financial resources, financial repercussions, and the
fear of retribution, but the larger companies, such as America Online (AOL) and Google do not kowiow to these
punks. F S S has been repeatedly reported by these abusers, to no avail, with false complaints to both AOL and
Google from which FSS posts, emails, etc. to the Net with registered accounts in conjunction with our own
server. Bruns' examples of our so-called abuse, posted at his weh site, are from AOL and Google accounts, but
you do not see AHBL blocking their subnets, IP space, etc. if they do not cancel the accounts with myself or
FSS. The why is simple, they are wrong and would be in court in a New York minute and the harassment and
hacking would endl Police reports # 05-07 1 0 1 9/01 and # 05-263973/01 have been filed and are part of this
complaint as backup.
The most egregious of their crimes, however, is their recent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks with a known
hacking program "wget" and subsequent hacking of our web site from information gleaned from this tooL Their
I P addresses were logged, crimes annotated, and corrective action taken by our webmasters, VND. VND's
affidavit substantiating such is contained herein. All have been reported to Detective Padier and the SAPD.
Even though other crimes have been ongoing for years, these crimes started and were logged beginning the week
of 4/1 8/2005 and not ceasing until Detective Padier, SAPD, had conversations with the subjects, the week of
5/2/2005. These intrusions and hacking into our servers caused FSS the following, but not limited to monies
expended to stop the attacks, considerable downtime, monies expended to take corrective action, loss of
income, mental anguish, health issues, and personal time to monitor the site for further/future intrusions. These
crimes are remarkably similar to those for which Bruns was convicted in New York in 2002 when he hacked his
ex-employer, Pat Prague with I S P http//accesshighway.com (63 1 ) 232-9 1 1 9. You can call Mr Prague
regarding the hacking of his ISP by Bruns and subsequent jail time. He is more than willing to hare his nightmare
with the police, potential victims, current victims, or past victims.
Brian Bruns', probation officer, Ms. Benedetto (63 1 -852-5084) and her boss, Mr Eldredge (63 1 -852-5074)
have been informed and apprised of these crimes since the first police report was filed in February, 2005, as has
the prosecuting ADA, Christopher Nicolino (63 1 -852-5000). All have instructed FSS to document the
allegations and file the subsequent police reports, which FSS has done. Bruns' Indictment numbers are . ( I ) I-
1 5 1 7-02 and (2) S-2423-02 and are part ofthis complaint Mr. Eldredge, after reviewing the infomlation offered
as an attachment to this affidavit has re-opened the investigation of Bruns for new crimes and/or violation of his
probation. Detective Padier has all the email back-up as to the nature of the crimes committed, police reports
filed, as well as the time frame in which all occurred, dating back to the original police report, plus the new
information contained in this complaint If more documentation is needed prior to these dates, it is readily
available upon request VND will be supplementing this affidavit with copious copies oflogs files, CD' s of such,
proof of hacking, and necessary substantiation of these accusations which were previously provided Detective
Padier in a more succinct form to expedite the investigation. Copies of the information sent to Ms. Benedetto are
contained herein as Exhibit ·'A". Also, attached as supplemental information, is the notarized aftidavit, Exhibit
"B", of Barbara Schwarz detailing her recent abuse by these very same culprits.
Over the past several years myself, FSS, and its suppliers have been subjected to organized crime by these folks
and we are now going to do something about it! It is the purpose of FSS to help law enforcement in punishing
these criminals and to help bring an end to the Cyber Crimes being perpetrated by the NANAE PUNKS and
other criminals in the "Wild West" environment of the Internet. Free Speech is a right and it must be protected I

Before me, the undersigned authority i n and for the State and County aforesaid, on this day personally appeared
Manuel Oblitas who being by me first duly sworn upon his oath deposes and says
My name is Manuel Oblitas and I am 28 years old. I was born on September, 2 1 " , 1 976 and I am employed by
Visual Net Design LC located at 28 1 2 Thousand Oaks Drive, Suite 1 0 I , San Antonio, Texas 78270 as a co
owner where my duties are to oversee the day to day operations and management of my business.
I have been employed with this company since its inception, 200 I .
I, and my brother, Javier Oblitas are co-owners of Visual Net Design LC (VND), a web hosting, design,
programming, computer repair, and computer consulting business located in San Antonio, Texas. In the course
of doing business, we both became acquainted with Richard (Rick) Scoville aka, freespeechstore.com (FSS)
approximately in June/July of 2002 Me Scoville approached VND to finish the design, hosting, and activation
of his web site, FSS. FSS owns the proprietary design rights to FSS and holds all patents, copyrights, etc. With
the input and help of Me Scoville, as to the specific design and functionality of FSS, VND finished the site to the
point of Beta testing on or about August I , 2002 and sometime later began hosting it approximately August,
2003 The site has been a work in progress since that time. Me Scoville asked VND to host the site because he
had been "Iarted" (short for Loser Attitude Readjustment Tool, refers to changing someone' s attitude by taking
steps to kick them off the Internet through abuse reports to their ISP) to his previous host, Southwestern Bell
Corporation (SBC) by bunch of people from the newsgroup news. admin. net-abuse.email (NANAE) VND, in an
effort to help FSS, offered to host FSS' server through our ISP 's, RealJinx and PrismNet, Ltd. (Prism) At this
point VND, as well as Me Scoville, had no idea how vindictive this group of people could and would become I
Hence, we began hosting FSS, almost immediately our upstreams, Reallinx and Prism, began relating to VND the
abuse reports, the majority of which were coming from members of the aforementioned newsgroup. Over a
period of approximately two (2) years, VND and its upstreams have received various and organized threats,
abuse reports, etc. regarding the curtailment of lnternet access to ALL the aforementioned hosts through the
blocking of emails emanating from our servers and our suppliers, if VND did not cease to host FSS. The threats
turned to reality and our IP range and subnets were subsequently blocked causing ALL serious harm and
damaged relations with many of our clients, customers, etc. The threats escalated in January of 2005 to the point
that both Reallinx and Prism gave VND an ultimatum to get rid of FSS within hours or all our web sites, which
we host, would be shut down because over 2,000 complaints had been received from Prism's customers
regarding bounced emails. Both Reallinx and Prism, acknowledged that FSS had not violated their AUP or ours,
on the contrary, F S S had tried in vain to work with us, Darren Knapp with Reallinx, and Ted Hatfield with Prism
to modity his site in order to circumvent the abuse complaints. As a matter of fact, FSS made major changes to
circumvent the various and sundry complaints by the antispammers (NANAE et al), all documented with emails.
In spite of the efforts of FSS, Reallinx and Prism had to "kowtow" to the threats to get the full range of I P
blockages removed. This did not satisty a certain group ofDSNBL ( Internet blocklists) proprietors and the
worst abusers, namely AhbLorg, Sosdg.org, and 2mbit.com all of which are owned or run by Brian Bruns and/or
Andrew Kirch. VND was forced to cut F S S ' s hosting off immediately in order to remove the blocks initiated by
this group (ahbLorg et ai, "AHBL"). FSS's site was shut down by us, to protect our other clients from collateral
damage, hence VND and FSS frantically looked for options to get the FSS site back up because it was off the
Net. We had T-I line through another company, E-spire, which we temporarily put FSS on to gain access to the
Internet. This was only temporary because we would be losing this line in two (2) to three (3) months, but it gave
us breathing room. The applicable IP address and subnet for E-spire were immediately blocked by AHBL. Each
time that VND moved the hosting of F S S to another ISP, AHBL blocked FSS' individual lP address as well as
the subnet of the suppliers, in order to extort/blackmail the suppliers into submission, i e , the removing of FSS
from the Internet via the client services of VND and its suppliers I This, in turn, reflected on VND and caused us
and our customer's severe harm. When the T -1 line from E-spire ran out, VND began to look for alternatives
for FSS, so we looked at his residential supplier, Grande Communications utilizing their business services.
Grande' s business representatives were contacted to secure access, but VND's physical location, nor any of the
principals of VND, nor relevant employees residential locations, were serviced by Grande. FSS and VND
decided to host the site at Mr. Scoville's temporary home residence at 1 08 West French Place in San Antonio,
Texas. AHBL immediately blocked the applicable I P addresses of Grande and VND 's blocks remained in place.
According to Mr. Scoville, Grande was in the process of changing his home IP address from a dynamic IP to a
static IP, but he was getting many bounced emails because of the blockage due to the fact that he was hosting on
a dynamic IP, and of course, the AHBL blockage In the interim, AHBL was contacting Grande to complain
about F S S . Before Grande solved the problem, they cut offFSS from the Internet without notice or justification.
Scoville believes it was due to the complaints from AHBL and their gang, as well as Grande's own issues. FSS'
web site was down and ofrthe Internet againl Both FSS and VND began scrambling again to figure out what to
do to get FSS back up. Mr. Scoville, after being down several days at his residence, moved his service to Time
Warner, hence we decided to keep his sever at his residence, temporarily with a Time Warner dynamic fP address
which he also used for his residential access, until Time Warner could install business Internet access at our
physical site on Thousand Oaks, which meant additional blockage for FSS in the interim due to the fact that it
was again a dynamic JP. AHBL immediately blocked this IP address and also kept the VND blocks in place, still
causing harm to ALL Finally, upon installation of the Time Warner business service to our location, the FSS
server was moved again and a new IP address assigned. To date, this is the ONLY IP address which has not
been blocked by AHBL The original Time Warner I P address that Scoville temporarily used to host his site at
his residence is still blocked. Scoville does not why Bruns has not blocked this IP address for Time Warner, so
he checks every day to see if the blocks have been implemented as previously threatened. Bruns, through
correspondence with my brother, J avier Oblitas, continued to block us until VND proved that we were not
hosting FSS or that the DNS configuration was not pointing to VND, which had nothing to do with hosting, but
we had to comply to get unblocked. While on our space, each time that the site was forced off the Net, both
VND and FSS incurred downtime, considerable headaches, added labor costs, loss of revenue, and the
reconfiguration of each new I P address. VND, of course, had to charge Mr. Scoville for all of our time, but
realizing the severity of the situation and the attitude of AHBL, VND gave Scoville a compassionate break on
our costs. This now has become a virtual nightmare for Mr. Scoville and VND, but it is not over yet I
Everything, up to now, strictly pales in comparison to the following when considering the criminal intent of
AHBL and subsequent abuse by Bruns, Kirch, et al. On or about May I , 2005, FSS's server began getting a
barrage of '\vget" spidering requests from I P address 66.93.203 .20 1 which was traced back Speakeasy. net,
Bruns and Kirch's I SP and/or web host for their sites ahbl.org and sosdg.org. These spidering requests continued
for days and lasted for approximately one week with different IP addresses traced to Kirch and/or Bruns (see
attachment and CD for detail) The spidering requests were so intense that the intrusion worked just as does a
Denial of Service (DoS) attack, slowing down real traffic to the FSS site and rendering it impossible to browse
for some customers. Each time that VND or FSS block an AHBL, Bruns, or Kirch IP address, they started with
a new one. Here is what the web site . .
httpl/users.ece.gatech. edu/-owenlAcademiclECE41 1 2lFall2004/lab 1 2web%20security.doc says about "wget"
"WGET
When targeting a web server, a serious hacker would study its content thoroughly. This might involve
downloading its entire content for offline examining at his leisure. Doing this manually would be very tedious and
tiresome, so luckily there are some useful tools readily available that would automate this process.
WGET is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. It can be downloaded from
httpl/www . gnu.org/software/wget /wget .html."
The offenders did exactly what is detailed above and then, coincidence or not, at the same time, the FSS web
site's functionality was impaired causing the following serious problems, errors, changes, etc.
I. FSS users' ability to login to the website was disabled. It appears this is what happened The
website's database connection was impaired. We were not able to read or write to it. The global.asa
file (referenced on the attached CD) contained a reference to the database's connection string in this
format
- Application("Var_ConnectionString") = "DRIVER= { Microsoft Access Driver
( * .mdb») ;DBQ=URL=(CONFIDENTIAL)"
This method of connecting to the database was the same for over 2 years Suddenly, it did not operate
anymore. No upgrades, service packs, or new software were installed to cause this. In my experience
with the site, I can say it was as if "the data connection engine was tampered with." We corrected the
issue by upgrading the data connection string as the following example shows:
2. I am also familiar with my brother's written statement regarding the Denial of Service (DoS) attack
which affected FSS during the same time. Please refer to his statement for more intormation.
It took myself and my brother, Javier, the better part of two (2) days to figure out the damage, repair it, and then
defend against it. All the applicable IP addresses pointing to AHBL, Bruns, Kirch, et ai, log files, etc. used to
substantiate these claims are provided on the enclosed disk and the back-up provided by Mr. Scoville. We could
only spend so much time on Me Scoville's and FSS's problems due to time constraints and providing service to
our other customers. It was truly a nightmare and a mess I
VND can speak only for ourselves, but we cannot imagine how Me Scoville and FSS have put up with this
constant abuse, harassment, and criminal actions over the past couple of years, but we can state the facts as to
our involvement which is what we have done
I have read my statement and it is true and correct. I will appear in court and testifY to the facts in this case if
necessary.

where my duties are to oversee the day to operations and management of my business.
I have been employed with this company since its inception 200 1 .
I, and my brother, Manuel Oblitas are co-owners of Visual Net Design L C (VND), a web hosting, design,
programming, computer repair, and computer consulting business located in San Antonio, Texas. In the course
of doing business, we both became acquainted with Richard (Rick) Scoville aka, freeespeechstore.com (FSS)
approximately in June/July of 2002. Mr Scoville approached VND to finish the design, hosting, and activation
of his web site, FSS. FSS owns the proprietary design rights to FSS and holds all patents, copyrights, etc. With
the input and help ofMr Scoville, as to the specific design and tunctionality of FSS, VND finished the site to the
point of Beta testing on or about August I , 2002 and sometime later began hosting it approximately August,
2003 _ The site has been a work in process since that time.
I have read my brother's affidavit, hereto attached and concur with each and every statement therein. Most of the
facts, situations, problems, tasks, etc , were worked on conjunctively by both of us together, each with his own
level of expertise. For those times where I communicated directly with AHBL, Bruns, and/or Kirch, et al, l or
Mr. Scoville have supplied the appropriate back-up in the form of copies, either paper or on the disk attached to

The offenders did exactly what is detailed above and then hacked the FSS web site causing the following serious
problems, errors, changes, etc . :
I. The FSS server was affected during the attack due to the consecutive and massive attempt to connect and
read from it. Proof of this can be found on the firewall log attached and pictures hack from

2. Attached are two folders on the disk named "AHBL CASE" containing ConfidentiaLtxt files which prove
the changes that had to be done to get FSS back up. Copies of the files are available upon request and
due to confidentiality, they must be viewed on site.
Let me reiterate, that Mr. Scoville' s account has been a nightmare due to the abuse, harassment, and criminal
actions aimed at him and his site over the past couple of years. These most recent attacks are truly heinous.
There have been many times that both Manuel and rnyself have discussed dropping FSS as a client, but Mr.
Scoville has been such an honest and trustworthy client over the years that we could not bring ourselves to that
point. He is and has been a valued customer.

STATEMENT OF FACTS
Before me, the undersigned authority in and for the State and County aforesaid, on this day personally appeared
Richard M . Scoville, who being by me tirst duly sworn upon his/her oath deposes and says
My name is Richard M. Scoville and I am 59 years old. I was born on July 1 4, 1 945 and I am employed by
Freespeechstore.com (FSS) located at 1 08 West French Place as the President, where my duties are to oversee
the daily operations ofF S S .
I have been employed with this company since approximately November 2000 when I conceived o f the business
plan. FSS has been a work in progress since its inception in the year 2000. Approximately, July of2002, I hired
Visual Net Design LC, (VND). The principals of which are Manuel Oblitas and Javier Oblitas. They are
presently located at 28 1 2 Thousand Oaks Drive, Suite 1 0 1 , San Antonio, Texas 78232-4 1 08, the physical
location of the server for FSS. The business plan ofFSS is stated at our web site, treespeechstore.com, under the
Mission Statement, About Us, and the Terms of Service (TOS). Basically stated . .
"The principals of the Free Speech Store had a vision . . . . that there be an all-inclusive database available to the
entire virtual community with easy access and navigation, hence, the Free Speech Store I Presently, you have to
employ a universal search engine which, in many cases, does not have the capability to access databases, remote
sites, non-commercial sites, newsgroups etc. for keyword searches within those databases, sites, etc. Obviously,
this site will develop its own presence and persona as it is utilized by the virtual community. It will grow with
each posting of a new speech. It is your site I With each posting, you will control its growth, its presence, its
destiny, and most importantly, its contenL ALL FREE OF CHARGE (please refer to . . Terms of Service)!
.
Posting i s FREE! The only * cost assessed is when you wish to retrieve/read a speech. Be sure to read our
Privacy Policy because it, as well as the Site itself, are predicated on anonymity for all, if you so desire.
Remember, all we require is a valid email address to send your password, allowing site privileges!
We highly recommend that you access the FAQ section of this web site prior to navigating the site. This will
help answer any questions without your wasting time through trial and errOL
There are *two payment alternatives to access an entire speech, not just the abstract. As always, POSTING I S
FREE! Take advantage of ic H IS YOUR VIRTUAL RIGHT I "
Through the course of trial and error, customer feedback, Internet Service Providers (ISP's) input, interactive
Internet newsgroup participation, threats from anti-spammers, general discussion with our webmasters, and other
discussions with Internet savvy personnel, F S S has strived to adhere to what is termed as Netiquette, etiquette
governing communication on the Internet, while still maintaining and honoring one's right to Free Speech and the
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and quite frankly, the Virtual Right of Free Speech for
all peoples of the world. As stated previously, FSS is a work in progress and listens to all constructive criticism,
even those which are threatening. Sometimes, we make changes predicated on this input and sometimes we do
not. The ultimate goal is to maintain a web site which offers Free Speech within the boundaries ofthe laws
which govern FSS. FSS had made changes predicated on some, if not all, of the aforementioned input and will
continue to do so if behooves us and the general public and of course, is lawful.
Since approximately, the first quarter 2003, FSS has been attacked, libeled, threatened (to include death threats),
and abused by a group of so-called netcops (thugs, punks) in an Internet newsgroup called news.admin.net
abuse. email (NANAE). its hybrids such as news.admin.net-abuse. sightings (NAN AS), news.admin net
abuse.usenet (NAN AU), just to name a few. The culprits of these newsgroups are commonly referred to as
"NANAE PUNKS". The very thing which they say they wish to accomplish, Netiquette, is the one trait which
they ignore. From these folks, FSS has been the victim of, but not limited to:
1 . Libel
2. Defamation of Character
3 . Threats
a. Death threats
b . Email Blockage through Blocklists, i.e. DSNBL's of F S S emails, as well ass ALL the
customers of its ISP's
c. Physical
4. Harassment
a. Phone calls to ISP's, other Internet providers, etc
b . Emails to FSS, its webmasters, ISP's, Upstream providers, etc
c. U.S. Postal mails to some of the aforementioned
5 . Restraint of trade
6. Possible Rico Act violations, as well as other Federal Crimes
Two (2) of the most malicious culprits ofNANAE are Brian Bruns, a convicted felon for computer crimes, and
his partner in crime, as well as in business, Andrew Kirch. Both men have joined FSS as members and supplied
valid email addresses authorizing F S S to communicate with them. They both are principals of lnternet
companies, URL' s, etc , which go by the names, but not limited to
1 . Ahbtorg
2. Sosdg.org
3 . 2mbit. com
Kirch, also utilizes the following Internet companies, URL ' s etc . .
I . trelane. net
2. lan.trelane.net
3 . http://www 2mbit.coml-trelane/
They have been hounding FSS for approximately two (2) years and are the perpetrators of one or more of all the
above and aforementioned crimes. They refer to FSS as the "Freespeechwhore" and defame us constantly in the
aforementioned newsgroups, as well as contact our suppliers periodically and often with threats, defamation,
libel, etc. without notifYing or copying us of any wrongdoing. They have crossed the line recently, however, by
threatening our ISP' s with major email blockage if FSS is not disconnected from their service at once. They
have followed through with these threats with ALL of FS S ' s ISP's, webmasters, providers, etc., causing our
ISP's severe customer service issues and forcing them to discontinue our service. Bruns and Kirch have blocked
complete subnets of these providers to extort, blackmail, etc. them into submission. The majority of the ISP's are
well versed with the illegal and threatening nature of these criminals andlor ex-cons, but even though sympathetic
to FSS' s plight, must kowtow to the threats and subsequent action taken by these t hugs, or lose business. The
smaller companies acquiesce due to the lack of technical and financial resources, financial repercussions, and the
fear of retribution, but the larger companies, such as America Online (AOL) and Google do not kowtow to these
punks. FSS has been repeatedly reported by these abusers, to no avail, with false complaints to both AOL and
Google from which F S S posts, emails, etc. to the Net with registered accounts in conjunction with our own
server. Bruns' examples of our so-called abuse, posted at his web site, are from AOL and Google accounts, but
you do not see ABBL blocking their subnets, IP space, etc. if they do not cancel the accounts with myself or
FSS. The why is simple, they are wrong and would be in court in a New York minute and the harassment and
hacking would endl Police reports # 05-07 1 0 1 9101 and # 05-263973/01 have been filed and are part of this
complaint as backup.
The most egregious of their crimes, however, is their recent Denial of Service (DoS) attacks with a known
hacking program "wget" and subsequent hacking of our web site from information gleaned from this tool. Their
IP addresses were logged, crimes annotated, and corrective action taken by our webmasters, VND. VND' s
affidavit substantiating such is contained herein. All have been reported 10 Detective Padier and the SAPD.
Even though other crimes have been ongoing for years, these crimes started and were logged beginning the week
of 411 812005 and not ceasing until Detective Padier, SAPD, had conversations with the subjects, the week of
51212005 . These intrusions and hacking into our servers caused FSS the following, but not limited to: monies
expended to stop the attacks, considerable downtime, monies expended to take corrective action, loss of
income, mental anguish, health issues, and personal time to monitor the site for further/future intrusions. These
crimes are remarkably similar to those for which Bruns was convicted in New York in 2002 when he hacked his
ex-employer, Pat Prague with ISP http //accesshighway. com . . . (63 1 ) 232-9 1 1 9 . You can call Me Prague
regarding the hacking of his ISP by Bruns and subsequent jail time. He is more than willing to hare his nightmare
with the police, potential victims, current victims, or past victims.
Brian Bruns', probation officer, Ms. Benedetto (63 1 -852-5084) and her boss, Me Eldredge (63 1 -852-5074)
have been informed and apprised of these crimes since the first police report was tlled in February, 2005, as has
the prosecuting ADA, Christopher Nicolino (63 1 -852-5000). All have instructed FSS to document the
allegations and file the subsequent police reports, which FSS has done. Bruns' Indictment numbers are .. ( l ) 1-
1 5 1 7-02 and (2) S-24 23 -02 and are part of this complaint. Me Eldredge, after reviewing the information offered
as an attachment to this affidavit has re-opened the investigation of Bruns for new crimes and/or violation of his
probation. Detective Padier has all the email back-up as to the nature of the crimes committed, police reports
tlled, as well as the time frame in which all occurred, dating back to the original police report, plus the new
information contained in this complaint. If more documentation is needed prior to these dates, it is readily
available npon request VND will b e supplementing this affidavit with copious copies of logs files, CD's of such,
proof of hacking, and necessary substantiation of these accusations which were previously provided Detective
Padier in a more succinct form to expedite the investigation Copies of lhe information sent to Ms. Benedetto are
contained herein as Exhibit "A". Also, attached as supplemental information, is the notarized affidavit, Exhibit
"B", of Barbara Schwarz detailing her recent abuse by these very same culprits.
Over the past several years myself, FSS, and its suppliers have been subjected to organized crime by these folks
and we are now going to do something about itl It is the purpose of FSS to help law enforcement in punishing
these criminals and to help bring an end to the Cyber Crimes being perpetrated by the NANAE PUNKS and
other criminals in the "Wild West" environment of the Internet. Free Speech is a right and it must be protected!

WITNf-'SS S TA TEMENT
Before me, the undersigned authority in and for the State and County aforesaid, on this day personally appeared
Manuel Oblitas who being by me first duly sworn upon his oath deposes and says:
My name is Manuel Oblitas and I am 28 years old. I was born on September, 2 1 ", 1 976 and I am employed by
Visual Net Design LC located at 28 1 2 Thousand Oaks Drive, Suite 1 0 I, San Antonio, Texas 78270 as a co
owner where my duties are to oversee the day to day operations and management of my business.
I have been employed with this company since its inception., 200I.
I, and my brother, Javier Oblitas are co-owners of Visual Net Design LC (VND), a web hosting, design,
programming, computer repair, and computer consulting business located in San Antonio, Texas. In the course
of doing business, we both became acquainted with Richard (Rick) Scoville aka, freespeechstore.com (FSS)
approximately in June/July of 2002. Mr. Scoville approached VND to finish the design, hosting, and activation
of his web site, FSS. FSS owns the proprietary design rights to FSS and holds all patents, copyrights, etc. With
the input and help ofMr Scoville, as to the specific design and functionality of FSS, VND finished the site to the
point of Beta testing on or about August 1 , 2002 and sometime later began hosting it approximately August,
2003. The site has been a work in progress since that time. Mr Scoville asked VND to host the site because he
had been "larted" (short for Loser Attitude Readjustment Tool, refers to changing someone's attitude hy taking
steps to kick them off the Internet through abuse reports to their lSP) to his previous host, Southwestern Bell
Corporation (SBC) by bunch of people from the newsgroup news. admin. net-abuse. email (NANAE). VND, in an
effort to help FSS, offered to host FSS' server through our lSP's, Reallinx and PrismNet, Ltd. (Prism) At this
point VND as well as Mr. Scoville, had no idea how vindictive this group of people could and would become!
,
Hence, we began hosting FSS, almost immediately our upstreams, Reallinx and Prism, began relating to VND the
abuse reports, the majority of which were coming from members of the aforementioned newsgroup. Over a
period of approximately two (2) years, VND and its upstreams have received various and organized threats,
abuse reports, etc. regarding the curtailment of Internet access to ALL the aforementioned hosts through the
blocking of emails emanating from our servers and our suppliers, ifVND did not cease to host FSS. The threats
turned to reality and our IP range and subnets were subsequently blocked causing ALL serious harm and
damaged relations with many of our clients, customers, etc. The threats escalated in January of 2005 to the point
that both Reallinx and Prism gave VND an ultimatum to get rid of FSS within hours or all our web sites, which
we host, would be shut down because over 2,000 complaints had been received trom Prism's customers
regarding bounced emails. Both Reallinx and Prism, acknowledged that FSS had not violated their AUP or ours,
on the contrary, FSS had tried in vain to work with us, Darren Knapp with Reallinx, and Ted Hatfield with Prism
to modit)r his site in order to circumvent the abuse complaints. As a matter offact, FSS made major changes to
circumvent the various and sundry complaints by the antispammers (NANAE et al), all documented with emails.
In spite of the efforts of FSS, Reallinx and Prism had to "kowtow" to the threats to get the full range of IP
blockages removed. This did not satist)r a certain group ofDSNBL (Internet blocklists) proprietors and the
worst abusers, namely Ahbl.org, Sosdg. org, and 2mbit.com all of which are owned or run by Brian Bruns andlor
Andrew Kirch. VND was forced to cut FSS's hosting off immediately in order to remove the blocks initiated by
this group (ahbl.org et ai, "AHBL") FSS's site was shut down by us, to protect our other clients from collateral
damage, hence VND and FSS frantically looked for options to get the F S S site back up because it was off the
Net. We had T - 1 line through another company, E-spire, which we temporarily put FSS on to gain access to the
Internet. This was only temporary because we would be losing this line in two (2) to three (3) months, but it gave
us breathing room. The applicable IP address and subnet for E-spire were immediately blocked by AHBL. Each
time that VND moved the hosting ofFSS to another ISP, AHBL blocked FSS' individual lP address as well as
the subnet of the suppliers, in order to extortlblackmail the suppliers into submission, i e , the removing ofFSS
trom the Internet via the client services of VND and its suppliersl This, in turn, reflected on VND and caused us
and our customer's severe harm. When the T -1 line from E-spire ran out, VND began to look for alternatives
for FSS, so we looked at his residential supplier, Grande Communications utilizing their business services.
Grande's business representatives were contacted to secure access, but VND' s physical location, nor any of the
principals ofVND, nor relevant employees residential locations, were serviced by Grande. FSS and VND
decided to host the site at Me Scoville's temporary home residence at 1 08 West French Place in San Antonio,
Texas. AHBL immediately blocked the applicable IP addresses of Grande and VND's blocks remained in place.
According to Mr. Scoville, Grande was in the process of changing his home IP address from a dynamic IP to a
static IP, but he was getting many bounced emails because of the blockage due to the fact that he was hosting on
a dynamic IP, and of course, the AHBL blockage. In the interim, AHBL was contacting Grande to complain
about FSS. Before Grande solved the problem, they cut offFSS from the Internet without notice or justification.
Scoville believes it was due to the complaints from AHBL and their gang, as well as Grande's own issues. FSS'
web site was down and off the Internet again! Both FSS and VND began scrambling again to tigure out what to
do to get FSS back up. Me Scoville, after being down several days at his residence, moved his service to Time
Warner, hence we decided to keep his sever at his residence, temporarily with a Time Warner dynamic IP address
which he also used for his residential access, until Time Wamer could install business Internet access at our
physical site on Thousand Oaks, which meant additional blockage for FSS in the interim due to the fact that it
was again a dynamic IP. AHBL immediately blocked this IP address and also kept the VND blocks in place, still
causing harm to ALL. Finally, upon installation of the Time Warner business service to our location, the FSS
server was moved again and a new IP address assigned. To date, this is the ONLY IP address which has not
been blocked by AHBL. The original Time Warner IP address that Scoville temporarily used to host his site at
his residence is still blocked. Scoville does not why Bruns has not blocked this IP address for Time Warner, so
he checks every day to see if the blocks have been implemented as previously threatened. Bruns, through
correspondence with my brother, Javier Oblitas, continued to block us until VND proved that we were not
hosting F S S or that the DNS contlguration was not pointing to VND, which had nothing to do with hosting, but
we had to comply to get unblocked. While on our space, each time that the site was forced off the Net, both
VND and FSS incurred downtime, considerable headaches, added labor costs, loss of revenue, and the
reconfiguration of each new IP address. VND, of course, had to charge Me Scoville for all of our time, but
realizing the severity of the situation and the attitude of AHBL, VND gave Scoville a compassionate break on
our costs. This now has become a virtual nightmare for Me Scoville and VND, but it is not over yet I
Everything, up to now, strictly pales in comparison to the following when considering the criminal intent of
AHBL and subsequent abuse by Bruns, Kirch, et al. On or about May 1 , 2005, FSS's server began getting a
barrage of"wget" spidering requests from IP address 66.93 .203 .20 1 which was traced back Speakeasy.net,
Bruns and Kirch' s ISP and/or web host for their sites ahbLorg and sosdg.org These spidering requests continued
for days and lasted for approximately one week with different IP addresses traced to Kirch and/or Bruns (see
attachment and CD for detail) The spidering requests were so intense that the intrusion worked just as does a
Denial of Service (DoS) attack, slowing down real traffic to the FSS site and rendering it impossible to browse
for some customers. Each time that VND or FSS block an AHBL, Bruns, or Kirch IP address, they started with
a new one. Here is what the web site . .
http://users.ece.gatech.edu/-owenlAcademic/ECE4 1 1 2IFa1l2004/lab 1 2web%20security.doc says about "wget"
''WGET

The offenders did exactly what is detailed above and then, coincidence or not, at the same time, the FSS web
site's functionality was impaired causing the following serious problems, errors, changes, etc .:
I. FSS users' ability to login to the website was disabled. It appears this is what happened: The
website's database connection was impaired. We were not able to read or write to it. The global.asa
file (referenced on the attached CD) contained a reference to the database' s connection string in this
format
- Application(HVar_ConnectionStringH) = HDRIVER={M icrosoft Access Driver
( * mdb) };DBQ=URL=(CONFlDENTIAL)"
This method of connecting to the database was the same for over 2 years Suddenly, it did not operate
anymore. No upgrades, service packs, or new software were installed to cause this. In my experience
with the site, I can say it was as if ''!he data connection engine was tampered with. " We corrected t he
issue by upgrading the data connection string as the following example shows
2. I am also familiar with my brother's written statement regarding the Denial of Service (DoS) attack
which affected FSS during the same time. Please refer to his statement for more information.
It took myself and my brother, J avier, the better part of two (2) days to figure out the damage, repair it, and then
defend against it. All the applicable rp addresses pointing to AHBL, Bruns, Kirch, et ai, log files, etc. used to
substantiate these claims are provided on the enclosed disk and the back-up provided by Me Scoville. We could
only spend so much time on Me Scoville's and FSS' s problems due to time constraints and providing service to
our other customers. It was truly a nightmare and a mess'
VND can speak only for ourselves, but we cannot imagine how Me Scoville and FSS have put up with this
constant abuse, harassment, and criminal actions over the past couple of years, but we can state the facts as to
our involvement which is what we have done.
rhave read my statement and it is true and correct. I will appear in court and testify to the facts in this case if
necessary. �-."

WITNESS S TA TEMENT
Before me, the undersigned authority in and for the State and County aforesaid, on this day personally appeared
��
Javier Oblitas who being by me ftrst duly sworn upon his oath deposes and says:
4<1 GV\ s r 3 t7, 1 q 1 ) . p
My name is Javier Oblitas and I am 29 years old. I was born on Ihe Pgflt and I am employed by Visual Net
Design LC located at 28 1 2 Thousand Oaks Drive, Suite 1 0I, San Antonio, Texas 78232-4 1 08 as a co-owner
where my duties are to oversee the day to operations and management of my business.
I have been employed with this company since its inception 200 1 .
I, and my brother, Manuel Oblitas are co-owners of Visual Net Design L C (VND), a web hosting, design,
programming, computer repair, and computer consulting business located in San Antonio, Texas. In the course
of doing business, we both became acquainted with Richard (Rick) Scoville aka, freeespeechstore.com (FSS)
approximately in June/July of 2002 Mr Scoville approached VND to ftnish the design, hosting, and activation
ofms web site, FSS. FSS owns the proprietary design rights to FSS and holds all patents, copyrights, etc. With
the input and help of Mr. Scoville, as to the speciftc design and functionality ofFSS, VND finished the site to the
point of Beta testing on or about August I, 2002 and sometime later began hosting it approximately August,
2003._ The site has been a work in process since that time.
I have read my brother's affidavit, hereto attached and concur with each and every statement therein. Most of the
facts, situations, problems, tasks, etc , were worked on conjunctively by both of us together, each with his own
level of expertise. For those times where I communicated directly with AHBL, Bruns, and/or Kirch, et aI, l or
Me Scoville have supplied the appropriate back -up in the form of copies, either paper or on the disk attached to
this complaint
The offenders did exactly what is detailed above and then hacked the F S S web site causing the tollowing serious
problems, errors, changes, etc. :
1 . The FSS server was atlected during the attack due to the consecutive and massive attempt to connect and
read from it. Proof of this can be found on the firewall log attached and pictures hack from
66_93 _203 _ 1 99 Firewall Log_close.JPG and hack Jrom_66_93 _203 _ 1 99 _Firewall Log_openJPG. In
addition, also there is proof of one of the offender's ip on liS MAIN LOG ENTRIES DATESJPG and
tracing information on Report_Trace 66_93_203 _1 99.pdf
2. Attached are two folders on the disk named "AHBL CASE" containing ConfidentiaL txt tiles which prove
the changes that had to be done to get FSS back up. Copies of the mes are available upon request and
due to confidentiality, they must be viewed on site.
Let me reiterate, that Me Scoville 's account has been a nightmare due to the abuse, harassment, and criminal
actions aimed at him and his site over the past couple of years. These most recent attacks are truly heinous.
There have been many times that both Manuel and myself have discussed dropping FSS as a client, but Mr.
Scoville has been such an honest and trustworthy client over the years that we could not bring ourselves to that
point He is and has been a valued customer.
I have read my statement and it is true and correct. I will appear in court and testifY to the facts in this case if
necessary.
