To backtrack the discussion a little, ok quite a bit... I'm not surprised in the least that the FTC used a venue like Internext to pull this "sting". Aside from the obvious publicity, it was economical too. With one leg of the "company" in England and another in Latvia they stood a good chance of nabbing all the key players without the expense of sending agents abroad and wading thru any international extradition proceedings.
(Note to self... keep an eye out for clean cut looking dudes wearing hawaiian shirts, bermuda shorts, white socks and sandles and Aviator sunglasses at the Phoenix Forum.)
