Digital Point Owners Indicted – Out on 100k Bail



He has only been charged with 10 counts of wire fraud so how is he in the hole for $31 million? Federal prosecution is a tough rap but where did you pull out that 98% conviction statistic from? I think he'll get off easy even if convicted. Less than 1 year of actual jail time if at all.

That is the one of the lamest statements I have seen today on WF and that says a lot. You are going to believe a clown that admits to fraud, eBay told him to do it and he says the FBI says, "Ah $15 million, no big deal, this is between you and eBay."

Lord help those like you that ever get into a position where you are criminally indicted or the suspect in a crime.


  1. You do not open your mouth to implicate yourself or others
  2. Law enforcement can say whatever the fuck they want to get a confession. It works almost every time.
  3. If you have been formally indicted by the FBI after a 3-4 year investigation, then you are fucked and almost guaranteed some type of conviction. They do not do this for cookie shits and internet giggles. They have 98% plus conviction rate once a defendant has been charged.
  4. Hogan better start lifting weights because his skinny ass will be someone elses in the pokie by the time this all over
Hence, this case has ADVANTAGE = FBI written all over it

That blog post he wrote implicates him 100% in my eyes and to say any different just shows the ignorance of most of the sheeple who do not understand how the world works, the long arm of the law, the laws of the land and the scales of justice.

I used to be on the other side of the law and have been handed my ass many times by district attorneys and prosecutors to have learned my lesson long ago. I now walk with the laws of the land as a productive citizen by helping my fellow man avoid scams and or becoming a criminal themselves.

Where did you come up with that 98% conviction statistic? Sounds like bullshit.

Here is some stats from 2001:

77145 finalized cases - 65168 guilty pleas = 11977 trials
68553 total guilty - 65168 guilty pleas = 3385 guilty by trial [either judge or jury trial]

3385 guilty at trial / 11977 trials = 28.26% conviction rate at trial
 
I'm surprised that Hogan would publicly post those statements on his blog. I'm sure that won't help him in any way when push comes to shove.
 
LOL at that blog post. Although I do hope DP doesn't close, it's always good for hiring indians for data entry for pennies. And you've got to give them credit, they've built up what is probably the biggest IM forum in the world.
 
For once I'm glad I am too fucking stupid to pull off slick shit like this.

OK, I was off a lil bit, but you are way off and need to go back to school and punch your mouth teacher in da mouth. You have no conclusion with the facts you presented or should I say copy and pasted from a forum.

OK Hogan has a 90% chance of being convicted, my baaaaaad.

Ninety percent of defendants were convicted in 2005,
up from 84% in 1995

Of the 86,680 defendants adjudicated in 2005, 90% were
convicted (table 7). Conviction rates varied by type of
offense. Almost all (96%) defendants in cases concluded
with an immigration violation were convicted, followed by
defendants with weapons and drug violations (both 91%).
In 2005, adjudicated defendants were either convicted following
a guilty plea (86%) or by bench or jury trial (4%)
(table 8). About 1 in 10 (9%) adjudicated defendants were
dismissed and less than 1% were acquitted. Weapons violations
and violent offenses had the highest percent of trials
(both 8%). Public order defendants had the highest percent
of dismissals (19%).

Defendants adjudicated in the Southwest U.S. border districts
in 2005 had a higher conviction rate (95%) than in
non-border districts (88%). Large districts (over 5 million
U.S. residents) had higher conviction rates than medium (1
to 5 million residents) and small districts (under 1 million
residents). In 2005, the median time from case filing to disposition
was 6.8 months. Dismissals and guilty pleas took
less time to process than trials. Cases concluded by a
bench or jury trial decreased by 18% from 4,809 in 1995 to
3,930 in 2005.

Conclusion, don't fuck with the Feds and once they charge you ass, you have a 80-90% chance of seeing Federal Prison. That is Hogan's odds and I am sure even less given the fact that he admits his role in the eBay scam in his own words on his own blog.

Crime NEVER pays in the end.

Hogan as I mentioned is one big internet fish that will send a message to the other so called affiliate guru fishes to hang up their cookie hats and snake oil offer scams in order to avoid being criminally indicted.
 
I've got an idea, why dont you just wait and see rather than getting your pants in a twist over statistics you found on google.

I am not worried about shit. I am only following this because of Hogans reach, the scope of the scam and what it will do to take down all the shady affiliates out there who are nothing but geeky crooks.

This is the largest alleged affiliate scam in history. This news and thread is one of the most important threads on Wicked Fire, yet I assume all you want to talk about are tits, skittles, link wheels and getting 1000 links for $10? Figures.......

That explains why there's no crime in the world then... oh wait.

No, that explains why our prisons are filled to capacity, there are a lot of big butt-holes exiting prisons and why their are a lot of wet pillows in Federal prison from geeks crying all night because their big butt-holes are sore and who thought crime paid.

Hence, crime only pays until you get caught......
 
Yes, I am an advocate against scams. The scam report is fake, the convictions are real. This was a competitor or ex-employee who was fired and is hiding behind some stupid screen name. I have never committed fraud or scammed anyone.
